    Gaston you sound like a man full of spunk but also quite naive , you have delusions of granduer if you think people would invade ?
    Invade for what ? A laugh , invading a Country (we have much experience) takes an awful lot of money (an awful lot) , 3/1 at persons on the grounds to succeed maybe more , 1/10 ratio of soldiers to backroom staff , mechanics , food , reserves , hospitals etc etc .
    Once this has been taken into account and our mineral resources of lack of , what exactly is appealing about an invasion ?
    On a bombing front I can possibly agree with you there but only on terrorist activity not a National scale .

    Very good, a suitably immature response.

    You have no idea. That regime was the polar opposite of the current one. The country was in major **** and was under a fascist military dictatorship.

    Let's just say that Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands then China invaded Japan, the US and the UK went to help Japan, but then Germany went bad again and decided to go into another war for the third time and started to invade Europe again.

    You underestimate the fear of the possibility of a nuclear war

    Spunk?? What are you on about??

    That's what they said about Germany before WWII...no one thought that they would invade more countries for the 2nd time.

    No. USA will be involved in it somewhere down the line and so will we.

    No they did not . They knew from the 20's it was coming but chose to ignore it .

    That's be fair China and Japan are sailing very close to a war. USA and the UK have a pact with Japan to help them out if their land is under threat.

    It's very realistic. Why do you disagree with me?

    Oh Adam, you are laughable, I suspect you think soldiers also have some sort of divine right to a job when they leave the army as well?
