The Great Debate
So, being that I am now staying with the girl, it is a necessity that I make highly theoretical jokes at her expense.
For those of you who know, she happens to have a family history of being French. My side of the family has more of a tendency to be either very American or German. This set of conditions creates a conundrum.
Being German, I may have indeed conquered her. I may have even declared “all your base are belong to us.” However, being very American, should I also liberate her? Or have I already done this in the process of conquering? This is an important question!
After all, on the outcome of this internal debate, I will have to raise either an American or German victory flag. I could be nice and actually declare her a liberated woman and fly her own flag like we did after WWII, but look how that turned out. Now France is snobish and has a workable nuclear power solution that allows a great deal of energy independence!
Or if I follow WWI logic will I force myself to pay punitive reparations to her?
I may need to call an expert…
Vive la résistance!
I’ll just let you think you’ve won…

You are tricky that way… I shall have my secret police watch you carefully!
Staying there but not paying reparations yet? Sweet deal!

It is indeed a good deal! We’ll see how long I can keep the reparation vote skewed in the UN.
