Planetarion Forums - How are France going to get their UK/US relations good again

Cynical Oracle · 12 Apr 2003, 10:23

After all the wank comments they have made regarding the Iraqi war.

Emperorn · 12 Apr 2003, 10:57

If Bush/Blair were to publicly apologize and hand the rebuilding of Irag over to the UN, I think it would suffice.

Dead_Meat · 12 Apr 2003, 11:23

Nuke North Korea?

You mean France should nuke North Korea, and then they would be even?

This is indeed a winning comment!!!!!!1122

Chirac could beg for forgiveness and offer himself as Bush's sex slave (he's getting bored of Blair)

Blair would appreciate the rest too

Your making the assumption that France want to improve Political relations, or for that matter the US/UK?

Correction. France had a political stance on the issue. It seems even the french politicians previously supporting Mr. Chirac are withdrawing their support. The French press has changed many of their opinions regarding this issue aswell.

It's all over the Norwegian press. Also, a few major French newspapers has printed a few articles on this issue with comments from French politicians.

So they no longer think diplomacy with Saddam is the best course of action?

Indeed, I'm sure everybody is suprised that France has decided that diplomacy is no longer an option with US troops in most major cities and Saddam hiding at Idimmu's.

queball · 12 Apr 2003, 15:07

Saddam is Idimmu

Jammers · 12 Apr 2003, 15:52

Get invaded by Germany again and cry for help, or failing that return former British lands in France to their rightful owners.

Kurashima · 12 Apr 2003, 16:10

France dont really care anyway.

pablissimo · 12 Apr 2003, 16:16

There's no reason for France to want back in bed with the UK or US.

Christ they ****ed us about on beef for a short while even though the rest of the EU was somewhat miffed*

*Apathetic

Chrism · 13 Apr 2003, 13:50

It was a lot more fun when we were continuosly at war with France. No need for flying halfway round the world for a war in some godforsaken backwater when we can simply cross the channel for a scrap.

Emperorn · 13 Apr 2003, 14:13

After the Suez Crizis in 1956 France and Britain discussed joining the two countries in a federal union and France joining the british commonwealth.

Reason being both countries got proper ****ed by the US who sided with the Soviet Union who threatened to bomb London and Paris.

How is that for British-Franco relations? Perhaps Britain is the one who has forgotten, while France's memory is working fine.

wu_trax · 13 Apr 2003, 14:59

why should anyone care about relations with the us anymore?
as long as this mad man is in power the worse the realations are the better. personally i dont want my country to be drawn i the next world war, because some idiot in washington thought its a good idea to bomb random countries. (any bets about when syria will be attacked?)

seeing as we tend to invade countries with whom we have poor relations...

JonnyBGood · 13 Apr 2003, 15:09

I don't think it really matters any more. Do you? It's not that facts are only just now beginning to be manipulated, just that we're all finally recognising that nobody gives a **** what the truth is. Bit depressing, but amusing nonetheless. People can say that Saddam Hussein/George Bush/Oprah Winfrey is the biggest threat to the world. Personally I think it's the apathy and indifference of what is probably the vast majority of the world's inhabitants.

I think it matters that our government has our media's balls in a tighter grip than the russian gov managed over theirs.

And sometimes I wish that public outcry would force our government to look into fixing our economic problems, but usually I'm just happy that they are busy ****ing up other countries instead of ours.

I hear George Bush is offering Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahhaf a position in a new US ministry of truth. Apparently there will no longer be any economic problems.

I don't think the countries chosen were exactly random. If they were random, why are you asking when Syria will be next? Or did you just make a scrap of paper for each country in the world and draw Syria at random out of a hat? You are getting a little more radical with your posts every week.

yes, lets attack iraq, but lets not think about what to do after the war is over, chaos and anarchy is fun. only in anarchy people are really free.

That's a fair comment. OK, mostly fair.

The United States is working on dealing with the anarchy. It will take some more time in Iraq.

For a long time I thought Yemen would be next, but that was before Syria started helping the Saddam regime.

My personal thoughts are that the United States should consolidate its gains so far. Build up democracy in A-stan and Iraq. Work out a peace between Israel and Palestine. Let the CIA and special forces deal with other problems for the next year and a half or so. If the madman from Texas/Connecticut gets re-elected then he can take out the big one, S-A, and some of the little guys like Yemen and Syria.

After that we can party.

If you get any more radical Wu_buddy, you need to break out the explosive vest and choose a good target.
