Yeah, not seeing the big deal, here.

We definitely have invasion plans for Canada, UK, NZ, hell, even Switzerland. Its called being prepared for all scenarios.

Governments would be insanely idiotic to not have these kinds of plans.

Sir Humphrey: [talking about nuclear fallout shelters] Well, you have the weapons; you must have the shelters.
Hacker: I sometimes wonder why we need the weapons.
Sir Humphrey: Minister! You're not a unilateralist?
Hacker: I sometimes wonder, you know.
Sir Humphrey: Well, then, you must resign from the government!
Hacker: Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm not that unilateralist! Anyway, the Americans will always protect us from the Russians, won't they?
Sir Humphrey: Russians? Who's talking about the Russians?
Hacker: Well, the independent deterrent.
Sir Humphrey: It's to protect us against the French!
Hacker: The French?! But that's astounding!
Sir Humphrey: Why?
Hacker: Well they're our allies, our partners.
Sir Humphrey: Well, they are now, but they've been our enemies for the most of the past 900 years.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Why would any country with an embassy in Iran not keep their documents next to their incinerator?

So, how many times has England invaded France? a dozen? Two dozen? Why wouldn't they have invasion plans? In the history of England and France how many times have the English decided that France had some wonderful real estate they just had to have?
 
2011-12-05 03:31:14 PM
Great. Now all the Iranians need to do is build a time machine and give the plans to Germany so they could have defeated the invasion of France and change history, possibly meaning there would be no Israel.

"We're hoping it takes the IRGC translators a good long time to realise the plans are 70 years old and talking about the invasion of France," a British diplomat said.

Shhhh... no one tell them that the plans are 70 years old and talking about the invasion of France. Definitely don't post that information on the internet.
 
2011-12-05 03:48:04 PM
This is not a repeat from 1065.

The Normans settled on the west coast of France to make it easier to invade England, and once they get tired of that, re-invade France.

This is actually true. The government has plans to cover all sorts of bizarre, unexpected events. Most of them sit forever in a file somewhere and see the light of day once in a great while when they get updated. They'll cover things that might seem unlikely, but if we need to respond to things, having plans in place for staging helps.

I've heard, for example, that there has long been a plan in place to invade Iceland. Seems unlikely, but during WWII and the Cold War, it was a pretty strategic rock.

"antique-filled embassy"

...are they talking about paintings and vases, or 70 year old documents?

/probably both

Can you imagine Canada's invasion plan of the US or better yet Switzerland's invasion plan for the US?
 
2011-12-05 04:16:28 PM
Yeah great, one lost document about a 70 year old plan we've already executed. I'd be more concerned about the antiques they snagged and destroyed. Lesson learned: Artwork and documents shouldn't be kept in a toilet.

1nsanilicious: Can you imagine Canada's invasion plan of the US or better yet Switzerland's invasion plan for the US?

Didn't they have one for some point earlier in the 20th century? I seem to recall plans to seize some border cities (like Detroit and Buffalo) and close the waterways along the Great Lakes.

Canada doesn't have a huge military, but if they caught the US off guard, they could probably seize a fair amount of territory. If they could hold it for long is another question.

Bloody darkies. You'd think they would have got over us overthrowing their democratic, secular government and installing a nazi-supporting dictator wouldn't you?

Up until the 1930's the US Department of War had extremely detailed plans to invade Canada.

And vice versa (Canada presumably helped by the rest of the British Empire). In both cases, there were legitimate worries about the other side with regard to coups or siding with the fascists.

Actually, yes. My old unit was tasked to take that strategic rock back in the early '90s.
