a number of countries have more soldiers/personnel, but they certainly aren't "stronger" than the US military. Their tech and strategies are outdated and they spend far far less on training, tech, equipment, etc.
that was similar to Vietnam. These weren't all out conflicts where the enemy had to be totally subdued and occupied, which the US very much could've done if it had had the political and public will to do so, but Americans and the govt weren't willing to make the sacrifices needed for total victory, unlike they were in WWII.
Not really. The US military annihilated them and made them hide in caves shitting in buckets for 20 years while they squatted in their capital. What they failed at was the occupation and ideologically changing the afghan people. Which was a moronic goal. When it comes to actual combat, it's a laughable comparison. You can't outright fight attack helicopters and bombers as a goat herder with an AK.
I liked independence day because it was clear the aliens were actually at all major population centres, despite how MURRICA centric the film actually was.
its really time to stop including russia when speaking about global powers. Its just something we are comfortable repeating since the soviet union. They arent a power at all and their revenue is that of Texas.
invasion movie >>They head straight for the USA
The aliens saw how easily the israelites took over and thought "frick it, aim for the soft spot. We'll do the hard work once we've set up base"
>implying the aliens wouldn't have first researched the planet they're invading >implying they wouldn't reach the conclusion that the USA is the most relevant nation in terms of: military strength, science and math, space exploration, cultural exports (including but not limited to: music, movies, television), overall the main character on planet Earth
the first and only language the aliens would want to/have to learn is English
The only thing that held russia up as a global power was western propaganda that russia is some mysterious foe with unlimited power. Well after the ukraine invasion we understand how pathetic their power projection is. 90% of their nukes probably dont even work
China has gone through major industrialization and gained massive power over the past 20 years. It's nothing like it was when we were kids. It's slowing down now though.
That is one thing I liked about Arrival. The aliens arrived at different parts of the world, I think they went to Greenland, Venezuela, Sierra Leone, etc.
Ukraine isn't getting the top line stuff. The actual top stuff we don't even know about. I'd bet my left nut the US has graphite rods in stealth casings in high orbit aimed at every capitol.
Why would they not try and deliver a crushing blow to the most dominate military power on the planet? Do you think there is any kind of tactical or strategic advantage by knocking out India or Uganda first? If anything that would help humanity.
In Independence Day they mentioned that the aliens carried out simultaneous strikes across the globe.
We're Americans making movies for us. Of course we're going to be the stars of the story.
Though I wonder if they make alien invasion movies in other countries, do the people really think their country is important enough to fight aliens? I mean maybe Japan is which is why they have alien invasion movies.
Logiclally, where else would they go? USA has the strongest military in the world.
Erm not any more lol. China does and it's not even close.
lol

>strategies
So the "good strategy" is to loose wars?
AHAHHAAHHAAHHAAHAHAAH
China leads the world in stealth genitalia.
>muh dik
well where else would they go
Portugal is nice.
>alien movie
>they just want to go on a nice european vacation
>Portugal
>nice
I dunno, I never went there.
Main character country, simple as.
>Alien invasion movie
>has scenes with rednecks going about their daily business before finding out about it
>alien invasion movie
>the aliens are defeated by a redneck blasting shitty music which makes their heads explode
ACK ACK
>ACK ACK
Your transphobic rhetoric has no place on my board, chud.
>alien invasion movie
>rednecks realize that the invasion goes against their economic interests and start voting for it
bait status: slightly too subtle
>vamanos children

It proves the writers are stupid egalitarians marketing to minorities
America is the only country in the world that matters even ayyylmaos know it
It would be stupid if they didn't go straight for US, China and Russia.
its really time to stop including russia when speaking about global powers. Its just something we are comfortable repeating since the soviet union. They arent a power at all and their revenue is that of Texas.
>Russia
literally weaker than Poland
Is that why Poland is just taking loads of refugees?
Poland taking loads is a just a historical fact, Anon.
invasion movie
>>They head straight for the USA
The aliens saw how easily the israelites took over and thought "frick it, aim for the soft spot. We'll do the hard work once we've set up base"
Europe is more pozzed and controlled by israelites than America ever will be
>alien invasion movie
>they go to Brazil
>the favela destroys them
>alien invasion movie
>a group of street kids in London frick them up
with butter knives?
>alien invasion movie
>a group of street food vendors fricks them up with fatal diarrhea
What alien timmy gonna do?
Big gorilla-wolf motherfrickers came to the wrong ends.

cope seethe and dilate
The only thing that held russia up as a global power was western propaganda that russia is some mysterious foe with unlimited power. Well after the ukraine invasion we understand how pathetic their power projection is. 90% of their nukes probably dont even work
So that explains why the west continues to seeth endlessly but not actually, y’know, stop them (?)
>90% of their nukes probably dont even work
that would leave them with 580 nukes, more than enough to kill millions of people
I thought China only had like 50. wtf. am I old and they built loads more or just moronic
China has gone through major industrialization and gained massive power over the past 20 years. It's nothing like it was when we were kids. It's slowing down now though.
why does Pakistan have more nukes than India if India has multiple times the land and population?
That is one thing I liked about Arrival. The aliens arrived at different parts of the world, I think they went to Greenland, Venezuela, Sierra Leone, etc.
usa has space force setup by cyber Barron Trump
>alien invasion movie set in mainland China
>first shot is of bunch of Chinese men boiling them and selling their testicles as vitality treatments
Mongols do count, you're not white, filthy mongoloid
Go to only country that has landed men on the moon. Makes sense.
>Alien invasion movie
>They head straight to Japan
lol
Like SG1 said,
>As your worlds strongest tribe, you will be made an example of
Ukraine isn't getting the top line stuff. The actual top stuff we don't even know about. I'd bet my left nut the US has graphite rods in stealth casings in high orbit aimed at every capitol.
>Alien invasion movie

It's the capitol of the world. Of course they would.
