    Swiss train for French invasion

    A bankrupt France tears itself apart into several regions, and one of them marches over the border to Switzerland to get back its stolen money. The Swiss army has this imaginary scenario covered, according to military simulations revealed over the weekend.

    Sounds like a Monty Python skit.

    We'd naturally take advantage of the chaos and invade Canada, but only if Slavex was on vacation.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    Down the road from Quantrill's big raid.
    That might be a short scenario, what with surrender happening and all.

    Wouldn't it be easier for the French just to surrender in place rather than climb over the Alps to do it? Seems like an awfully difficult journey just to declare yourself a collaborator...

    Perhaps the French and Polish shouldn't have killed off their best and brightest so long ago, leaving baristas to run the show

    (For those who don't know, France and Poland produced some of the greatest mathematicians and scientists of all time)

    The Napoleonic wars and WW1 killed off huge numbers of soldiers, breeding what was left got the French what they have.
    Poland had the misfortune to be so close to Germany and Russia.

    The French get a bad rap. Poor showing in WWII, yes, but they were completely unprepared for the Blitzkrieg and I don't know that the English would have done a lot better if they hadn't had that big ol' Channel in between them and all those Panzers, Churchill's bravado notwithstanding. The Froggies got right back on that horse and got nasty in Vietnam and Algeria - granted, things didn't go so well there either but it wasn't for lack of trying. In more recent years they're neck for neck with the U.S. in terms of their sheer number of foreign interventions.

    Socialist, snotty, too concerned with their precious terrior? Yes, yes and yes; but they will gear up and get involved. Which is, generally speaking, more than you can say for those fearsome Krauts these days.
