Red Dawn scenario

Posted on 05/10/2007 2:57:33 PM PDT by wastedyears

Don't know how many people have seen this movie, but what are your thoughts on something like it happening? If so, who would be involved? Also, how easy or hard would it be to fight them back, taking into consideration their manpower?

Watched most of this today and told myself that I would sooner die than watch my country fall to anybody. Let's hear some opinions.

Well, if it happens, it ain’t gonna be Ruskies coming in using Cuba.

Most of the precursor stuff (shown in yellow text at the very beginning of the movie) has already happened (Mexicans fleeing their country, Greens taking over Europe, etc.) and I don’t think it has moved us that much closer to armed invasion.

I'd suspect they'd start
by distracting us with dumb,
pointless VANITIES...

Our country is being invaded right now - the only difference is, they’re not part of an organized army, carrying weapons or riding in tanks.

The enemy will not come by parachute because he is already here and he believes in jihad. The hard-left socialists in the dhimmiecrat party arranged for him to get here w/o firing a shot. To keep our country we have to defend it from the jihadists AND the liberals. Its not going to be easy and its not going to be pretty.

Oh yeah, I forgot about all the illegals too. Fortunately, most of them just want to take our livelihoods, not our lives.

What a mess we have allowed the political classes to get us into...

Zero chance it would happen. I think the scenario in The Army of the 12 Monkees is more likely.

just kidding. about the monkees I mean.

It would take at least 10 times the D-Day forces at Normandy to invade the US on any coast, and a handful of paratroopers dropping in to Colorado is beyond ridiculous. The only overland invasion route with a remote chance of any penetration is through Mexico, and it would take a lot more than the D-Day resources to sustain it.

It was a speculative idea back in the time when the libs had gutted our military and the Russkies were angling to do us in. I don't see a Russian threat as currently viable.

What I do see as viable is a Chinese occupation of several port cities like San Francisco, Long Beach, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, & Vancouver. The Chinese leadership in the PLA has stated their desires to establish these cities as Chinese adminstered 'trade zones' much the same way that Hong Kong, Macau, Shanghai, and etc. once were European administered trade zones within China.

Unlike in Red Dawn, I don't see the Chinese needing to invade us. The Red Democrats will fall all over themselves opening the door for China to do this and the dad-blasted Republicans will INVEST in the operation in the name of FREE TRADE and that traitor Rush Limbaugh will be the #1 cheerleader for the whole thing.

It’s on AMC today. Watched most of it myself while doing laundry and policing kids and was into it because I’d forgotten how it ended. Then I missed the LAST FIVE MINUTES breaking up a kid fight. Grr.

If they get away with building the 1/2 mile wide, fenced toll road from mexico to canada, I suspect the bad guys could just congregate in mexico and take numbers.

No, I’ve seen the movie a few times, and purchased the DVD last year.

I’ve wondered if Muslim teenagers feel this way and some sort of misplaced bravado causes them to fight our troops. I know Red Dawn is just a movie, but if some evil ideology such as al Queada preaches should fall on the ears of teens who feel that their plight is hopeless, certainly they could be brain washed into battling us. Why else would anyone try to take on the most powerful military might on earth?

Isn't the theory
that millions of Chinese troops
will be stacked inside

container ships then
grounded along the west coast
to conquer us all!
