Now pardon me if I don't like this one.
Several reasons:
- Ethnic jokes are always tricky, and as close to the target, I feel
this one is over the top (How would you like an NAC version: "Let's
invade Iraq and take theirs." ? )
- Jon has explicitly said many times that NSL are not 'Nazis in space'
- There is no Poland in the Tuffleyverse (the FSE might be a substitute
if you insist)
