North American Union coming...

"the thing is that until now a nuclear holocaust was almost impossible because the consequences of a nuclear first strike are known to everyone.
russia wont nuke the US because they know it would end in their destruction also.. vise versa. nuclear balance..
now the missile shield takes this away and gives the US as only country in the world the option of a nuclear strike (if its perfected).
U as american will probablly support this.. biut for most other people in the world it is not the optimal sollution.
specially for every other nuclear power which the missile shield is castrating."

There are ways to avoid all that without the retaliation involved. Such as blowing up the refineries for example. No petrol for freight = no food = riots/starvation. Country collapses. Just find an extremist branch to fund, and make sure you are not implicated. Other fun ways exist too. WTC was only two highly valued commercial buildings, and I bet everyone remembers the first day stocks opened after that. Horrendous. Targeting the headquarters of say, 10 Fortune 500 companies would be ultimately way worse, especially if banks were targeted.

"Lol Learn some logicstics.

- We don't invade with Pickup trucks and sedans, and if war was to erupt the industry would explode with goverment contracts - Majority of military assests used by the DoD are not supplied by the big 3, during war however their factories can be contracted for wartime contracts."

Well Chrysler used to manufacture the M60/early M1, but that has since moved on to General Dynamics.

"You idiot...
I was talking about the Chinese flooding the American car market. With the possible impending (short-medium term) death of at least 1 of your major car manufactorers, the Chinese companies will move in on once American markets.

"

Sense is what is lacking here I see. Precisely what will they move on the American car market with?

"And if there was full-scale war, do you really think Chinese factories would need 'contracts'?

No, they would just be told by their government to make however many Tonka Trucks with mounted MGs they needed.

@Imperial

Of course it will be, because you'd only reply with some bullshit which has nothing to do with my post. Wonderful.

noob.

"Sense is what is lacking here I see. Precisely what will they move on the American car market with? "

You'll see .

Invade it! We all *know* that helps democracy

alien should just invade us and enslaved us so we can end all the conflicts..........................................:D

You guys either dont know or dont care about what will happen to the whole world if the amount of nukes are launched to destroy china. Have you boys ever heard about nuclear fallout? Where a country as big as china being wiped out will result in the rest of the world going into a nuclear winter which will  last years and cause mass extinction. Great idea guys. The only countries that can be nuked fully and not cause a problem to the rest of the world are countries as small as israel.

"they're evil commies, because commies are evil by default. that's what simple americans have been told for 60 years by their government, that sentiment is not likely to change quickly."

Just like your view of blacks isn't going to change at anytime.

Anyways, I think this thread has been derailed severely.  Who wants to bring it back to Mexico and the implications of its collapse?

@Sir Supall

You think Mexico could become communist?

@sKoE

No.  Mexico is too riddled with gangs and drug cartels to actually become communist.  What might arise is a socialist dictatorship similar to that of Venezuela or Cuba.  Although, I would much prefer a Cuban Mexico than a Venezuelan Mexico.

good to know

i say let mexico be eventually the ppl will become organized and start going after the gangs and cartels......=P
