I think you misread the French. Any opportunity to embarrass * les ros boefs tm* will be jumped on, even if it means sucking up to the yankque. You’d have better luck with the krauts frankly. Remember, the French bankrupted themselves by 1783 just to tell GIII to bugger-off. In this pissing match, you will be lucky to hold Scotland and Northern Ireland. I’ll spot you Wales and Cornwall and the Isle of Man, wherever the hell they are. Canada will stick with us, Mexicans will line up to enlist at every Home Depot in North America. Yeah, you’ll get Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, but Raoul will probably lie low. You will get North Korea, but not Iran. Shit, only one “pole” of evil. The Japanese are big anglephiles, but they remember what happened they last time they crossed us: the radioactive fallout awakened Godzilla who is still trashing Tokyo. The toughest you guys can get is drag out Maggie and have her drool on a Fox News reporter. On the bright side, Charles will probably stick with you.
