"WTF GENIUS CAME UP WITH THAT GOOFY RIG???
Nils could come up with something better than that made outta an oar, 50' of clothesline and a porta-pottie.. and it'd stand in a force-10.
Danish officials said the last flag blew down.
Whotta freakin surprise THAT is.

Copenhagen is calm at this hour.Dawn was bout 2.5 hours ago, and there's no sign of any belligerent activity.
Jets have been flying overhead all day and night, though, and tension has been building all week. Expect something to happen at dusk. Just what may happen is still in doubt: It may involve amphibious craft and airmobile troops, or it may involve Tuborg Classic and Carl's Special. Stay tuned for updates.

The Canadians would win. All they have to do is to put their troops and stuff on any ground higher than 30 feet and the Danes would'nt have a clue on how to get at it. :)
Lol.. is that a flag monting contraption Hangtime??? :rofl

I think they should set up a "nuetral zone" in the disputed border area. The UN can paint a pair of blue lines down the middle to mark the zone. Encroachment into the nuetral zone by either party would be considered "offsides". The UN would call a penalty and a "face-off" would be held at the site of the offsides penalty. The UN would also monitor any hostile behavior that might lead to any kind of "neutral zone trap". This behavior would be immediately stopped, since it is boring.
:rofl

Waaaait a sec here.....
They can't go to war until the U.N. says they can.... right?

That will work until the troops on both sides decide their army isnt paying them enough, so they will both go on strike until they can get a better salary from their respective armies.

Umm, for some nations yes. If war breaks out, can we side with Denmark and take all of the populated areas and give the rest to Denmark ? Oh yea, give them Quebec too.

I can see his point, i do have a lot of friends that are Canadian so im gonna have to side with Canada. They would be doing ALMOST the same thing We (US) has done for so many centuries, defending our land against enemys who seek to take away our land, freedom, whatever it is. Go Canada!!!

LOL.. this noise is about a barren chunk of rocks in the middle of a channel. No strategic or commercial value. It's just a pile of rocks.
Danish rocks... right next to the great big danish rock called greenland...
But still, just rocks.
I think the side that gets it should be the one that builds a flagpole that'll stand in more than 5 knots of wind.

Here is a picture of one of the canadian troops during training.

times are changing there hang, as global warming opens up the vast arctic to shipping and mining, it's time to settle the details. iirc the island belonged to the british and became canada's in 1867.
the arctic may be cold and barren but if the northwest territories are any indication ( as they will soon out pace south africa in diamond production ) it could be the next gold rush.

*UPDATE*
Canada has just activated their advance Naval force towards Hans Island. The canoe, two Mounties and a Beaver are expected to arrive at Hans Island in 8 Months.....Details at 11:00...

Oh, thats just Darryl, he has not been the same since taking that puck in the head.

With all seriousness. I personally would like to know what the people from Canada think about this. Do they forsee a war with Denmark? Would they support such a thing? Is it a big subject in Canada right now?? Would the US be dragged into the war because of alliences? Just some questions i have been thinking about.
-
The U.S. would not join. We would simply force Canada to give it up or tell Denmark to give it up and move on.

I don't think most Canadians know or care all that much about Han Island.
A war with Denmark....pfftt...our people will sit down with thier people and after a few shots of whisky/aquavit and some beer they will agree to discuss this issue at another time.
It's not a big deal.
Would the US be dragged in.....nope I don't think there is any oil there :D Also we are not sure who's side you would be on.....;)

"Now a word from the Danish National spokesperson.....
(http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/images/07-minister.jpg)
"We will have the Beaver chocking in his own Vile Blood....Mounties will hear the cries of their own bones being ripped from their legs....There are no Canadians anywhere near Hans Island...never was.. Lies I tell you All Lies".....

How would you do that then, close the border to beef and softwood lumber? Threaten us with trade embargos....oh I know...go to the UN:rolleyes:

Bingo, it's all about the fabled Northwest Passage actually openning up. It's funny because our government is talking about how we have to be able to defend our sovereignty in the arctic.
Of course anyone with half a brain is thinking, "Uh, with what? You damn Liberals didn't want to spend money on the military for years because, ya know, you don't need a military anymore because defence and war is teh over.".
And then the Liberals are all like, "Yeah, you're right Thrawn. We're a bunch of tards that should fall on our swords, but we won't because we're too damn stupid...and hey swords are weapons so those are bad.".
But I'd still take the Liberal Party, rather than be ruled as a slave by the heathen Danes.
PS: Our Queen could kick your Queen's ass.

PURSE FIGHT!!!!!

Dear god no.
Would they support such a thing?
Canada, the quiet country that one day just snapped. No.
Is it a big subject in Canada right now??
No...well maybe, but only as something humourous to talk about. The only ones that are taking it seriously are some politians and diplomats, and who cares what they think.
Would the US be dragged into the war because of alliences?
Probably not, we are all NATO allies.

I heard a rumor that it's going to be a "bar fight".
Canada chooses one manly hero. Denmark chooses one manly hero.
At sunup on the chosen day, the drinking begins, toe to toe across a small table in a bar. One round with the drink chosen by the Canadian. Next round chosen by the Dane. On and on they go, 3 minutes between rounds.
Last man standing wins the island for his country.
I think OLN or ESPN2 bought the TV rights.

This is getting pretty serious.... we may have to go down to the rink and get some guys off the ice to lend us a hand...
"We will hand over a note to Canada in which we will express our viewpoint," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Peter Taksoe-Jensen. "Hans Island is our island."

What Canada needs to do is state something similar to the Monroe doctrine..
THE MONROE DOCTRINE (1823)
Essentially informed the powers of the Old World that the American continents were no longer open to European colonization, and that any effort to extend European political influence into the New World would be considered by the United States "as dangerous to our peace and safety." The United States would not interfere in European wars or internal affairs, and expected Europe to stay out of American affairs.
-
Did you know that,
"Hans Ø" directly translated can mean "His Island".
Danish pastry is in Denmark known as Wienerbrød ("Vienna Bread"), while in Vienna and other german speaking places it's known as Kopenhagener Gebäck.
BLAME CANADA!

my bet's the canadians cough danegeld before this is over.
actually, before it starts. ;)

Northwest passage -- out here they seem to think something about fishing rights. But the division between canadian and danish waterways is pretty clear. It's just Hans Ø that's at issue. Why not ship in water, hops and malt and make Hans' Øl? Oh yeah, that's right, because the canucks will insist on adding maize.
-
that island looks like a garden spot. good weather too. any oil there.
-
dammit, why can't our military ever wear appropriate camo.
-
don't worry... "uninhabited wasteland" is gonna be a big hit in the DPM world sometime soon.
