How do you know that your country won't be invaded, or cannot be invaded?

[Thief]

I wonder if the Mexicans would run back home
if China came busting in on American soil

 

[Thief]

would the Canadians declare themselves......nuetral

as if that might work

 

[Thief]

would the Democrats welcome the invasion with open arms and call them.....immigrants

In view of the fact that many countries still have a poor military capability, or no military capability at all how much longer can you pretend that your country won't be invaded, or cannot be invaded?

Surely, they are empty words and empty threats, which have no substance at all because they are not supported by any real military capability?

For how much longer can you pretend that your country cannot be invaded?

I think people can be complacent, but I don't think most would be that unrealistic to not think of that possibility.

and as a possiblity.....you have armed yourself accordingly?

Norway can be invaded, but i do not think of it. Who should invade anyway?

I try to think of reasons why invasions occur.

Like Russia with its former territory or things that started the first Civil War in the US.

I think the mind is really the best weapon for people. Arms are no good if you run out of ammo. Heh.

A good mind never runs out of ammo. ;0]

As far as Derby under Bonny Prince Charlie until uncertainty about a French support invasion appearing (it would have) and Highland Clans wanting to take their spoils home and consolidate rule in Scotland made them turn around.

Could well have taken London otherwise.



Partly true, but more of a myth (the name the Glorious Revolution betrays its anti-Catholic animus). Just because some powerful people supported him doesn't mean it wasn't an invasion. William the Conquerer had some local support too, was still an invasion.

It was also met with minimal resistance because the foreign prince landed with a big army they couldn't match. And there were numerous rebellions.

William the Conqueror displaced the entire ruling class, and imposed his own system of government. He and his successors built chains of castles up and down the country to establish Norman authority. William of Orange did nothing like that; not even close.

Sometimes military prowess is overrated. Take Afghanistan or Vietnam, for example.

Why worry about something that has almost no chance to happen?
