Red Dawn Situation, aka Pesky Paper Camel Ok, here we all are 100 years from now by hook-or-crook we're all still here (ageing cure) with our coin collections appreciating in value exponentially because a another gold and silver recall was instituted in 2012, afterwhich tons were sent to other countries to appease corrupt governments and ensure oil imports continued. Most of us buried or hid ours to avoid the trade-off for worthless script. But, just like in 1986 with Reagan, President Donald Rumsfeld has released what's left of the national silver stockpile, just over 200 oz's to Pakistan and public ownership is legal again. Some think this is just a ploy to grab what's left after collector's start waving their coins in the air. This act was vehemently opposed by Vice President Dick Cheney and he's threatened to hire Halliburton for some sort of unrelated job that could be done by a boy scout troop with a riding lawnmower. The economy is in turmoil and what's worse is the fact both of our coast's and border's are blockaded by the Canadian and Mexican Navies??? Spies and turncoats are everywhere. Tequila and Moosehead ownership is punishable with imprisonment and even (smugglers) death. Then the invasion happens... What would you do?
Sit back, put my feet up on the table and open up another Moosehead. While I still have a good supply. :hatch:
Hmm.. well my wife is a Canadian "permanent resident", and i'll be retired, with the above scenario, the inheritance of my wife of her mother's "Cold Frikin House", and the end of "Bob Evan's Restaurants" as we know it.... : whistle: (with a bad american accent) O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Wow, another one of these threads. Have you guys consumed to much MSG or something? Red Dawn Rising? :computer:
No offensive intended to any fans but I always thought that Red Dawn Rising was a stupid movie. Lets face it, if the Cuban Army invaded the United States with Russia in the 1980's or whatever, most of the cubans would defect to Miami and most of the Russians would defect to Brooklyn New York. Seriously, after the Warthog and the rest of the real Air USA ,I think that was the biggest worry of the Red Army and their Warsaw Pact. What if they did run those T72 Tanks across Europe, would the Polish, Lavatians, etc defect, refuse orders or turn their arms against the russians themselves.
You see, this is exactly why I think all the noisy threats and glorious fantasies of radical Muslims are so absurd. Hell, the Nazis, Japanese, and the Soviets were unable to take over the world, and they were real. The United States could never do it either. The whole idea of a bunch of ignorant 10th century thugs with old 155 rounds and dusty AK-47s dominating anyone or any civilized place is patently absurd. If there was ever a "paper camel", this is it. :mouth:
These imbeciles did drive the USSR army out of Afghanistan first using well used 1903 Enfield bolt action rifles, and later captured Soviet equipment and USA dropped aid, including shoulder fire missiles. But again, Afghanistan resembles more like 11th century than the 21 century, but in the right conditions 11th century warriors in such a place, their home can defeat a 20th century superpower, it really happened.
The Japanese leader Tojo once said that the reason Japan never invaded the mainland of the United States was because "there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass." The Arabs wouldn't stand a chance if they tried to invade us either. Charlie
Ask your grandaughter, see what she would say about a paper camel. Oh my friend the SIPRNET is telling the truth today, and the NIPRNET just tells jokes and reporters...
A little known fact nowadays and then, was that several of the highest military leaders of Japan had some of their higher education in the Ivy leaque universities in the USA. And several of them were vehemently against starting a war against the USA, because of their knowledge of the industrial base in that country. Of course their voices were drowned out in the chorus / chaos.
The arabs would not invade us. They might misuse the laws of this land to take away our religions while using the same lawyers to push theirs. They might spend hundreds of millions a year building mosques with their oil money in this nation and then go after our youth while they are in school with the "wonderful religion of Islam" protrayed in their textbooks and special classes. They might have their own come here to live and have more then one wife and large families to build their numbers. They might blow up things and then have paid off politicans and leftwing mouths state how Islam is a religion of love which gives the double message of "we have nothing to fear about Islam but we better give in to them anyway, you know -don't want to get them mad". Islam is winning this war if no one has noticed. This jihad had started with Muhammad and all this talk of it can't happen here has happen in the Eastern Roman Empire, um Turkey today. Has happened in the Balkens, Has happened in the middle east, in Africa, in Europe, in Asia. Just look at your maps. All those muslim nations were not muslim not to long ago. Remember the Budda's being blown up in Afghanistan. Well Afghanistan used to be a buddist area. the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan used to be part of Hindu India. It just goes on and on....
Two things occurred. (1) The Talibs had help from the United States and other misguided fools, and more importantly, (2) the Soviets simply got compassionate and blinked. Please don't even try suggest that Osama Bin Laden and his Arab followers, who routinely hide behind women and children, beat the Soviet Union in a street fight. I recommend you read more about Stalingrad, Kurst, and Berlin. More issues. Arguably, the greatest Muslim warrior of all time was Saladin the Great. He eventually beat the European crusaders. Unfortunately, I believe that Saladin was a Kurd. Tariq, the great Muslim warrior who crossed the Strait of Gibralter and conquered Spain was a North African. The Arabs did not show up until the blood dried up and everything was under control. No, I don't believe the tales of Osama and his Thousand and One Arabian Nights. The sooner that Muslim fanatics, and all the casual Muslim observers just biding their time, understand the consequences of their behaviors, the better off everyone will be. The West has simply not yet pulled the stops. Standby.
