There is no question about it if it came to hard war Iceland would be f..! That much is true. But Iceland did not offer the NATO base to Russia. Never has and probably never will. Iceland is still part of Nato and we have active defence agreement with the US. What that agreement actually says nobody knows except the wankers

Actually during the Cod wars Iceland and Britain were in a real battle. Then the Icelandic ambassador to UK was pulled home and we expelled the UK ambassador. Then british frigates ran into the small Icelandic Coast Guard vessels and we had couple of casualties. Hopefully it will not come to that this time. I doubt it actually because the protests that have been going on here in Iceland the are all against the Government and the bankers, non against the British consulate.

Mind you guys, we are not happy with this situation. We are not happy with being lied too and soon if nothing changes here people will make things change.

But to the brighter side of the situation. I was last year in a seminar in the University of Iceland were lots of professors and investors from Iceland, UK, Ireland and continental Europe were saying how great the Irish and Icelandic model of economic expansion was. Today it is rather funny to read what was said there. The Icelandic president was there saying how great Iceland was, lots of golden moments
