    WOLVERINES!!!!!

    I'd fight. One fellow of regard I hold dearly is General George A. Custer.

    He was a lieutenant commander of a Michigan cavalry regiment in the Civil War.

    They were known as the 'Wolverines'.

    He died, gloriously (terribly?) in battle.

    I can't think of a better way to die.

    Bring on the commies!

    So would you have a band of Patriots that cardoned off a few streets and kill anything that comes thru?

    haha@WOLVERINES!

    It's getting to that point actually

    First I'd like to bring up a small irony that America, with it's tradition of reverence towards the american revolution and guerrilla warfare, has managed to go from playing the guerrilla to playing the invader. Flip the settings of Red Dawn to somewhere in the desert, change out the clothing and give them old soviet issue weapons and you could call it "Operation Iraqi Freedom" and do a documentary.


    Now on the OP, personally I'd sit tight and learn Chinese. If they've successfully invaded, beaten all our conventional forces and somehow disarmed our nuclear deterrents, they've won. You can be as much of a freedom fighter/terrorist as you want, but in reality you're unlikely to persuade them to leave(look at England and Ireland). At that point China's won and the Patriotic last ditch effort is going to get yourself, your buddies and probably a good number of civilians killed... And make the occupation worse since all the soldiers occupying your city now want blood for the buddies of theirs you've killed.

    possible.

    If the Chinese invaded, they wouldn't reason with the civilians, they would kill you. or enslave you.

    It is a brave man's part to die with glory, or with glory die.

    Every Right Wing gun nut's wet dream is Red Dawn. It's a silly fable and not worth wringing hands over.

    It ain't history, zippy. It's a fable. When was the last time a foreign country occupied America? 1812?

    What does 'Red Dawn' mean? do you mean 'if the people of America took back their property from the thieving capitalists?' or 'if the Vietnamese state-capitalists somehow (unbelievably) seized power over the mugs'? If you had a revolution, 99% of the people would be immensely better off, obviously - but you'd have to have escaped your brainwashing, which is difficult.

    Have you seen the movie Red Dawn? if not, it's a good one. you should rent it and check it out. It'll open your ignorant eyes.

    Yes because the Chinese are totally another species with no human emotion or feeling

    "They came from the depths of (Asia), an ancient enemy of an ancient people, no one knows why they hate us so, or why they have made war on us, some say the struggle against their evil is the mandate of heaven, though their origins and purpose are shrouded in mystery their plan is simple, they travel they land and then they conquer, now they are here on our world, to do to us what they have done to so many others, and they will do it. Unless someone stops them..." :|


    By the way, that's the intro from an old 90's computer game, about demons. The fact that it seems to exemplify your views on china, i can't decide if it's hysterically funny, or just sad.

    I ain't talking about just China. but any country that invades America.

    What's really sad is thinking America can attack countries worldwide in broad daylight or at night with cluster bombs, troops on the streets, etc...but never imagining that it could happen here.

    Here's the irony, the people who are talking about threats to america are the same people pushing us to go out and make enemies. When I want to avoid getting shot on the street I don't go running up to people with guns and start hitting them.

    Conservative Logic: America's not safe
    Therefore we need to make as many more enemies for her to deal with as we can.

    Well in Red Dawn only half the country was taken over. In your scenerio would it be the whole country or is there still an orginised America fighting?

    so if say a dozen fanatical American Christians attacked say Russia by stealing 4 planes and crashing them into their buildings....

    ...what would we do if they did to us what we have done in the middle east? because of what a dozen or so fanatical Muslims did here?

    They aren't us.

    And we have the most powerful military in the world. And no international disruption to what we do to other nations.

    So we can do whatever the (*)(*)(*)(*) we want.

    And all liberals can do is whine about it.

    I would use my superpowers to save everyone.

    I figured that should be an option since we are talking about really unrealistic fictional scenarios.

    Head to the woods and never come back. Sure I might help out some freedom fighters with a skirmish here and there but for the most part I would just take to the woods to protect mine!

    Honestly I think someone would get to the Button before that happened. All those nukes getting old. May as well test them out. Nuke (heavy) every port China has, tac Nukes to take care of their navy and strat nukes for their infrastructure and centralized government. By the time they reorganized we could have wolf packs lying in wait. Nuke Marks for every flotilla.

    Seriously. I'm asking you the question: what evidence do you have that the Chinese would either enslave or kill every civilian they came across?
