Back In The USSR.

[cambus]

After our success in Iraq and Afghanistan, should we now invade Russia.
It has massive reserves of oil and gas, but Putin refuses to hand them over.
I'm sure we could mount an invasion without the help of the Americans, as all those former Soviet states would be only too happy to exact revenge on their former masters and I'm quite sure the Germans would like another crack at them.

[stewey]

The British had a little bit of difficulty invading the Falklands with no help: Russia is slightly larger.

[taperface]

We shouldn't invade ANYWHERE.

[stewey]

You're correct, taperface. The British have invaded, overrun, and conquered way too much; and now they are paying the consequences!

[kyra16]

right on taper ... we all got enough probl. in our own countries ... lets leave well enough alone

[andrea81]

What news channel are you watching... success?

[jno]

unfortunately, I have just done a headcount and we only have 23 soldiers still at home looking for somewhere to invade. This would be enough to storm one of those nicely decorated Moscow underground stations, and perhaps sink an oil well down from the tracks, though obviously only at night when the trains aren't running. But oil can be tricky to find and there's always the risk we might miss.

Also, the Kazakhs make treacherous allies.

Look at this and see if you still think it is a good a idea

well, obviously, Gromit, but as you'll see from the story the bomb hasn't been christened. Once that formality has been carried out it will kill only Muslims.

[Gromit]

jno,

I loved the line...

Despite its destructive qualities, the bomb is environmentally friendly, Gen Rushkin said.

[warpig3]

I think its a great idea and maybe we could invade China at the same time, I know China have got a huge army but aren't they all terracotta or something.

[China Doll]

Christ no.

Well not for oil anyway.

Their vodka's good though.

Well, Napoleon and Hitler both had a go at conquering Russia, and they failed. We might get as far as the gates of Moscow, but the Russian winter and the proud fighting Russians would soon drive us back. I don't fancy being sent to the Russian Front, thanks.

[horsestache1]

We could just have a go at beating them in the footie tonight, If we win we won't invade If we loose we will.

Simple really.

[netibiza]

I've just come back from Russia and don't think you'd stand a chance. If you could see the way they use the metro, you'd run a mile, keep out of it.

[vehelpfulguy]

Instead of invading them maybe we could just ask them nicely for some of the land they are not using (they have enough of it).

We could then build some prisons over there and send all our prisoners there.

We could also build some houses over there and send all the scum families there that we dont want (like the family yesterday who kept the dog that killed that young girl, where the son was a drug dealer).

Maybe we can ask John Prescott to go over there and be the Prime Minister of our bit of land.

At a stroke we can get rid of a lot of the people we dont want in this country. :-)

that is the armament of the new world order, Gromit: the low-carbon-footprint bomb, dropped from a glider of course, and the resulting non-nuclear winter helps restore the Greenland ice cap and nourishes my tomatoes too.

[China Doll]

Great, water on the computer screen again! Ta for that jno!

[Marky B]

I'm assuming Cambus would like the use of Rambo,a combination of Arnie characters,James Bond,Jason Bourne? No Russia's too big - we have enough trouble maintaining this little island.
