This situation with the Uighurs appears to be an individual variation on the premise of "The Mouse that Roared."

The Duchy of Grand Fenwick decides that the only way to get out of their economic woes is to declare war on the United States, lose and accept foreign aid.

I wonder who is paying for their vacation. Oh BTW - they sure look like they've been well fed for the last while!

I can't wait to see them partying at the Cock and Feather,,,,perhaps they'll make a cameo at Robin Hoods before retiring to the Swizzle Inn.......

It's beyond irritating to see these guys in the position to down bowls of Bermuda Fish Chowder (one of my favorites) and swilling swizzles..... Oh, wait, these guys don't drink.....yet.
