The Old Hack

While I generally am concerned about judges having their judgment affected by temper, in this case I would argue that this was an understandable cause for crankiness.

Now that is taking dive bombing to the next level. The level below the surface of the ground.

Lovely as that sounds, they are still responsible for what they submit and ought to have bollocking verified their own material. Because that is their goddamn job. Even so, it would be darn funny if it worked. "It's your fault that I was stupid enough to trust your legal malpractice generator!"

I'm not sure yet, but I don't hate it and it might grow on me in time.

Mine either. Nonetheless I found it quite pleasant to watch and listen to in 20- and 30-minute lumps. It took me three days to finish it that way but I felt it was worth it. (I really like Distracted Elf.)

I just got my new Danish passport. It has a picture of Greenland in it. SUCK IT, FUCKTRUMPET.

Why not. They had already lost the war by then anyway.

They could celebrate that they are getting hit from a longer way away.

Trump is not only picking a fight with the Pope. He is picking a fight with a Pope from Chicago. Is he insane? I'd be terrified of getting a visit from cardinals carrying violin cases.

I don't think Archdemon Arghleblarg will get one either.

It must be frustrating to be Archdemon Arghleblarg.

It might not even have been intentional. But even if it were, I'd think carefully before citing it as casus belli. And even more carefully about the timing of it.

Well, Denmark didn't previous to April 9, 1940. We learned the hard way.

I would like to make a matter clear. Recent sensationalist news claim that Danish troops have been ordered to open fire on US soldiers if they land on Greenland. This is incorrect, or rather, incomplete to the point of being mendacious. Ever since 1952 the armed forces of Denmark have all been subject to what is called Forholdsordren, in English the Precautionary Directive. It states that in case of a violation of Danish sovereign territory, all forces are ordered to immediately defend as if a war had been declared without waiting for instructions from higher up. This is the first thing we are taught as recruits and is the basis for the entire operational model of our armed forces. Furthermore all instructions to stand down or surrender are to be disregarded and all orders from authorities potentially compromised by enemy control are to be ignored. In addition such an event will immediately trigger a general mobilisation and all reserves are to muster at their assigned units/spawn points. The basis for this directive stemmed from the events of April 9, 1940 during which our country got overrun by the Wehrmacht in a matter of hours and with very little resistance from Danish armed forces. It was considered a national humiliation and left deep scars behind. Thus this directive was issued in order to reduce or prevent the possibility of confusion and absence of directions paralysing our forces in a similar way again. Given the Precautionary Directive, this order is not specifically aimed at the US. Danish troops will open fire on anyone who violates our sovereignty regardless of nationality, be they Russian, German, American or even a force of bollocking cardinals from the Vatican armed with censers and shepherd's crooks. You step over the line, you get shot at. Nothing personal, we just want you dead and/or gone. I realise that it is tempting to view this as defiance thrown into the teeth of the US, but it is really just business as usual as far as we are concerned.

Well, in his case it is more 1) his own men running out of ammo and 2) keep throwing them into the grinder regardless. Exhausting the enemy's ammo supply as a strategy only really works if they can't actually replenish their supplies.
