Sorry Freewillige, my US geography was never that good.
You ain't seen nothing.
I still remember watching in the theater Invasion USA with Chuck Norris.
Thats the summit of implausability.
Terrorists that spank the US, and Chuck Norris that single handedly spanks the poor terrorists. :haha:

Good old movie = bad new remake.

Most likely.

Only thing that got me about the original and now the remake is that the US would never be taken by force. Instead it will crumble from within.

The odd thing about the anchor post is that every one of those posters reflect contemporary politics... I'm just saying.

Well the Chinese are as bad ass communists as the Soviets were.
But yeah I get what you mean when saying no one is as bad ass as the Soviets. Man how I wish the cold war were still going on. ;)

No way! The Chinese are nothing as scary as the Russians were. Marshal Stalin, Tank factory's building billions of tanks, Nukes upon Nukes.

Give me the original bad guys not this watered down chinese copy (Pun intended)

Ha the Soviets, China has a strategic advantage, its population.
Think the havoc an army (even if purely conventional) of 100 million men (less than 10% of their population) could do if unleashed onto the world.
No amount of machinery is going to stop an army this big. ^_^
China wins by sheer numbers, always has always will.

It's not about how many men China has. The Chinese bad guys are...well, Chinese, they look differently, speak strangely and behave in an evil manner. But the Soviets, they're the classic evil Red commies, and all these new bad guys like China just aren't the same...

It should be remade with the British invading America, I think that would work out quite well, instead of:

Bah. Numbers aren't everything. Those sheer numbers still have to eat, still have to be clothed, sheltered, supplied and equipped. Put 100 million men way out on the end of a 10,000 mile long supply line surrounded by a hostile and well armed populace and watch those numbers tumble through starvation and disease.

That's where we'll win. We'll supersize them into obesity.
