      Well let's face it, Iceland can expand its territory without one bit of military action...it just waits for a new island to appear

        Has Iceland ever fought anything aside from maybe other Icelanders?

          It has a nice ring to it.

            No doubt you Canadians will again attempt to sieze Danish land.

                Dam, we just send all of our 121 para's to Libanon.

                For once...just once...we could have been the aggressor.

                  If you think of doing a NATO-Warsaw Pact scenario, think about how much different things look if you place Iceland firmly in Soviet hands. It totally changes the dynamic in the North Atlantic for resupply to Europe. I think that NATO undertook to protect them simply because of that fact
                  Somebody outta write a novel about such a confrontation - could feature brave Icelandic guerillas, etc, etc.

                    Red Storm Rising had a whole section on the USSR's invasion of Iceland. It was fictional but still.

                        Out of curiosity, how many useless members do we have in NATO in addition to Iceland?

                          Well there's Turkey. And France, if you interpret "NATO member" casually.

                            Turkey was pretty useful, IMO. Luxembourg, on the other hand...

                              Turkey was useful - as was Iceland - but Dino asked how many do we have now.

                                Yes, Irish people mostly, called ad fara i viking(The usual viking raping, pillaging, stealing thingy). And the united kingdom. Have you forgotten about the cod-wars?
