Let's do a little more destablizing there, and send in some to attack and occupy that place.

Then we build it back up in our own image.


And this just struck me. What kind of Government are we going to become? :P

Last I saw....no. We do not.

Never Forget

Address to the Nation

[BEGIN TRANSCRIPT]

Good evening.

People of the Netherlands, I come to you tonight not as your President, not as your leader, but as one of you. A citizen. It is on this day our nation joined the ranks of the United States, Great Britain, Spain and others as one of those who have suffered the effects of terrorism on their home soil. I can assure you that around the world, others are now sharing the heartbreak and sorrow you so personally felt this morning as the news broke.

On a day that began so positive, with the formation of new economic ties with Egypt, we were met with the worst catastrophe in our nation's history. The last time we sustained such loss of life was during World War II. It would be a sin, an act of degradation towards the lives of those who died, and towards our very principles and duties as human beings, to allow their deaths to be in vain. The time for mourning is now, but the time for action is swiftly approaching.

Analysis of evidence collected from the attack, surveillance videos, eyewitness reports, and forensics reveal the perpetrators almost certainly originated from the African nation of Mauritania. As you know, several months ago a string of violence erupted up and down the west coast of Africa which these same groups have already been linked to. It is also a matter of public record that our policy is to deal harshly and quickly with any country or entity that would harbor such murderers within their borders. And at this time, sanctions have failed to produce any substantive change in relations between us.

Shortly after the attack I ordered our entire army reserve, navy, and air force to ready status. At this moment they are converging in Rotterdam to prepare for deployment to and armed engagement with the nation of Mauritania. Their objective: find and destroy any who would plot harm against us or our allies. We will hunt them, we will find them, and we will put them to justice.

At this time I wish you all to lend your prayers to our armed forces and the families of those who lost their lives today.

God bless you all. Good night.

Dunno which is more fitting...

I don't think we'll even have to bring tanks, most of Mauritania's population are nomads and the largest city has about 800,000 people in it. So unless they have some big shit hidden in the sands, the 3rd Dutch Schoolboys Brigade should be able to handle this invasion.

Go get them lads! Make the homeland proud!

But what if someone tries to move in while we're moving in? Have to let them know we mean business.

Oh, and about Finland...

Remember this.

Unless their leaders name is Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, we're fine.

Seriously, it's common sense that combat prowess rises exponentially with length of name. He probably killed all those guys himself, with a name like that.

Anyway, in character:

Excellent... Mr. President. Our proud nation's first true combat operation, executed with cunning, deceit, and strength. Let us hope it pays off...
I guess the question on all our minds is... what next? Once we have taken those poor dupes, do we consolidate, or expand? When will the western coast be ours?
An expansion towards Senegal might be advisable... though possibly diplomatically unfeasible. We wouldn't want to annoy our neighbors...

So, the plan is to take Mauritania, and then to make NATO hate Norway more? And then to invade Norway? Or are we going to try and secure more of West Africa before that?

You mean Finland?
