Het is te laat, je hebt de Nederlanders opgeroepen, makker. Bereid je voor op k o l o n i s a t i e.

First question: no, best we can do is force you to build dykes.

Second question: we wouldn’t actually visit you, we would hire your neighbors to subdue you.

Both spellings can mean wall for holding back water, and things spelled with a "y" are 20% cooler.

How does "opgeroepen" translate to "summoned"??? It's clearly "aufgerufen" - i.e. "invoked". Smh my head.

As in all such matters, it is the German version which is wrong

I just read it as "called up", though granted Dutch ain't my first language (or even second),
