Is that why the Scots were happy for Berwick to remain in England?

The Bear Den: The Longest Armistice

The 'kin Septics 'kin version of 'kin history AGAIN.

"Thus began a three year conflict in which eventually 1.8 million American military fought North Korean, Chinese, and Russian forces, resulting in 33,686 Americans killed and 8,176 missing in action"

As usual in the Septic's history for home consumption, there is NO MENTION of -

"Some 100,000 British servicemen and women served in the Japan-Korea theatre during the [Korean] war. In July 1951, with the arrival of the strong Canadian brigade, the British, Australian, New Zealand and Indian units were formed into the 1st Commonwealth Division, which soon gained an enviable reputation among its allies"

by maybe nuking the south???

or is he supposed to at least have a brain?

He is the blessed reincarnation of the eternal spirit of the dynastic leadership, whose intellect soars above mortal man's like the Sun above the fields.

But the task facing the young leader in a country ravaged by starvation and poverty is a world away from his education in Switzerland. Fellow pupils remember him as struggling at the private International School Of Berne.

His father moved him at 15 to a nearby state school but he was put in the lower tier. He was introduced as the son of a diplomat, to hide his real identity.

Portuguese diplomat's son Joao Micaelo, who became his friend, said: "He left without getting any exam results. He was much more interested in football and basketball."
