Dude, seriously... who's talking about invading Iceland? Are you out of your mind? I never even suggested that!!!

Did the MPAA / RIAA mafia need the U.S. military to invade Sweden to shut down The Pirate Bay's servers a few years ago? That's right, they didn't. They merely contacted their obedient, corrupted "friends" in Washington D.C., and had the U.S. government pressure the Swedish government, and the Swedish government had the Swedish police raiding The Pirate Bay... even though Stockholm is way out of U.S. jurisdiction.

Sweden has professional armed forces, defense and high-tech industries, natural resources, land. Sweden needs the U.S. less than Iceland does. This means that the U.S. can pressure Iceland whenever it wants, and Iceland will obey because the small and the weak don't make the rules. International relations are, essentially, bullying. It sucks, but being in denial won't help.

You really don't see how your words could have been interpreted that way?

No, I really, really don't see how my words could have been misinterpreted like that. I made it clear that, as Iceland depends too much on the U.S., it has no leverage and, thus, will be an obedient lackey whenever the boss tells it what to do.
