Nivelul ameninţării teroriste în câteva state
Stirea pe bune: Marea Britanie ridica nivelul de alerta terorista la treapta ‘grav’ – un atentat este foarte probabil
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist
threats and have raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.”
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or
even “A Bit Cross.” The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the
blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been
re-categorized from “Tiresome” to a “Bloody Nuisance.” The last time
the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was during the
great fire of 1666.
The Scots raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let’s get the
Bastards” They don’t have any other levels. This is the reason they
have been used on the frontline in the British army for the last 300
years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror
alert level from “Run” to “Hide“. The only two higher levels in France
are “Collaborate” and “Surrender“. The rise was precipitated by a
recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively
paralysing the country’s military capability. It’s not only the French
who are on a heightened level of alert.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout loudly and excitedly”
to “Elaborate Military Posturing“. Two more levels remain: “Ineffective
Combat Operations” and “Change Sides“.
The Germans also increased their alert state from “Disdainful
Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs“. They also
have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose“.
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual, and the only
threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to
deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new
Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Americans meanwhile are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of
their allies, just in case.
Meanwhile…
New Zealand has also raised its security levels – from “baaa” to
“BAAAA!”. Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the airforce being a
squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some
toy boats in the Prime Minister’s bath), New Zealand only has one more
level of escalation, which is “Shit, I hope Australia will come and
rescue us“. In the event of invasion, New Zealanders will be asked to
gather together in a strategic defensive position called “Bondi”.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No Worries”
to “She’ll be right, mate“. Three more escalation levels remain,
“Crikey!‘, “I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend” and
“The Barbie is cancelled“. So far no situation has ever warranted use
of the final escalation level.
