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.

Sheer numbers? Hmmm Japan vs China..we all know how well Chinese numbers were working then.

China vs. Vietnam, Ho-chi-min sent the Chinese packing after China stepped into their country.

In fact I cannot think of one single time Chinese numbers counted for anything.....They had to build a wall to hide from Mongolia!

And lastly any Chinese invasion fleet would be on the bottom mid ocean. Any port that could load reinforcements would be wiped off the face of the earth.

Now that I've regained my composure somewhat I will begrudge you a :har:. I still can't look at the "Repairing Your Dictionary" part without laughing. Well done, sir:salute:

Awful old movie.

The only good thing that I got from it was the reaction of a former Soviet officer who had defected to the United States. We were at a gaming convention and someone asked him what he thought.

"We were always terrified of an order to invade the US. We knew that every single American owned a gun, and knew how to use it!"
