To be fair, if the British were allowed to just outright declare war on Iceland and let the Royal Navy sink their gunboats the war would be over very quick. I wouldn't consider this much of a win, or much of a war for that matter.
reply

U. S. A: We will never bend our knee to nobody!
Iceland: We will leave Nato if Britain keeps attacking us.
Also the U. S. A: OK OK WE WILL LET YOU TAKE ALL OF THE ALANTIC JUST PLEASE DON, T LEAVE.

I just imagine a very angry US going up to Britain and Iceland and essentially saying Can you two please knock it the hell off! I'm trying not to end the world here and you aren't helping!

It's strange to think that Iceland today dominate the frozen cod market on the UK High Street. I mean how does a shop even become a country in the first place?
reply

Australia: ohhhhh, you lost a war against Iceland? That must be so embarrassing.
UK: Everyones still going to remember the Emu thing.
Australia: F!

very nice to see the british making a fuss out of iceland giving itself fishing rights when the british have all their colonies to fish in instead
reply

They beat the UK 3 times but in 2016 they beat England unfortunately at Euro 2016. I like the fact Iceland is a tiny island but knows about to beat us.

Iceland and Britain playing against each other in COD: when the chips are down, these two will continue to go at it on a grand scale.
Sounds fishy.

The American: we almots declared war on Canada for a pug.
UK: we declared war to Iceland three time for fish, and lost all three of them.

It's kind of funny that at the same time these Cod wars were happening, the more chaotic Cold War between the US and the Soviets was happening.
reply

This is actually a huge point of pride in Iceland lmao. Also you forgot to mention that Icelandic boats were actively cutting British nets
reply

I love how passive aggressive so many wars have gotten after WW2. Instead of shooting each other, they are playing naval bumper cars.
reply

Britain: Now don't do anything too hasty to escalate this conflict. Don't shoot at them.
Royal Navy: ENGAGE RAMMING SPEED!

reply

Iceland is literally that annoying kid who keeps asking for more M&Ms out of your bag after hes already had half of it.
reply

Activision: Hm, Vanguard didn't sell as expected, maybe That's what people want to be the theme of our next game.

My country lost a war to a country which needs an app to tell you if you're related to someone to prevent incest
reply

so basically the mistress of the sea was defeated three time by Iceland but not ice it's a whole Amazon. great
reply

if they would have accepted their demands the first time the fishing zone would have been like 15 times smaller lol
reply

Britain still have the same mentality today, that they can take or do whatever they want without any consequences
