France

Due to the threats to their rail systems and the bombings in Madrid the French Government upgraded their Terror Alert Status from Run to Hide

This leaves them with only Surrender and Colaborate if the threats gets worse.

I heard that they have added grovelling and sycophantic bootlicking in order to give the scale somewhere to go after colaborate. Perhaps they will go the Spanish route, you know vote in cowardly pinko swine...and totally give in to the terrorists.

I'm not sure who the terrorist are that they are worried about,but it can't be the ones who are attacking our allies.France is on their own now,so it can't be because they helped us in any way.

"I'm not sure who the terrorist are that they are worried about"

France has had numorous threats made against it by militant Islamics in the past month due to their "head cover" law. Couple of bombs have been found on RR tracks in the past week.
