| Hephaestos said: i'll just say this. You're mistaking waging a foreign guerilla war and a homeland war. If anything recent wars have shown that the home contry will never lay down arms and even if it's just a portion of the population they can disturb the peace (I believe that is the premise of the game no? you fight on a dominating ennemy, much like the view rebel afgans or irakis have of the US I would guess). Now your example of china is false as china only has more men, they do not have more vehicules, planes or copters.... and they'd have a heck of a supply line problem from the sea... (not counting the local resistance from the south americans they'd go through ^^) The "axis of evil" doesn't have sufficient missile tech to even deliver nukes...they are a threat because their nuke tech is likely to be sold to terrorists (or sponsored to) and be derived to dirty bombs and because of the damage they can do to neighboring countries. there's only 3 contries with capacity to hit the US with nukes (besides alaska) and that's Russia, China (they have space capacity... not sure about intercontinental missiles though) and France. Other countries would need to have either long range missile capacity (they don't), or sub capacity (NK has, but low range missiles) or stealth bombers (they don't). one nice chart that might put things in perspective for you... military budget... http://www.globalfirepower.com/defense-spending-budget.asp digg on similar sites you'll see lots of info (based on available sources as CIA and library of congress), but that graph is particularly telling because 50 paper planes cost much less than 1 real fighter jet..... and if you think that's a joke.... Saddam Hussein had inflatable tanks to bolster his stats ^^ (sold by an italian company...) |
I will say this one more time: this is not the avenue, if you will like to discuss this with me add me on msn. defolt@hotmail.com It looks like you might here things you dont want to here. I don't want to start anything on here.
