You presume they won’t see the missiles coming.
You presume they will see the missiles coming.
:rolleyes: Of course they will, they are naturally watching at all times for such an attack. Did you think we were the only people on earth smart enough to think of watching for incoming missiles?
It doesn’t matter if they see them coming. Some of theirs are on subs. Enough to really ruin your morning.
Rover’s actually arguing his flippant idea seriously?
Okay… the problem with blowing up “everybody”, even if it was possible and even if there was no retaliatory annihilation, is that the waves of radiation from the necessary amount of mega-tonnage sweep across the Earth, including the U.S farm belt. I’d guess there’d be massive crop die-offs, and that’s even before the nuclear winter starts. The U.S. won’t stand alone as conquerors facing an empty colonizable world, they’ll just be rapidly-starving remnants, freezing to death.
I kinda thought that’s what we were doing in this thread . . .
Blowing up everybody doesn’t necessarily require the use of nuclear weapons.
Considering that other countries have nukes and will most certainly use them if we try to kill them all, yes it does.
Well, I guess you could start assembling six billion mail bombs, but the stamps are gonna get pricey…
Well, there are ways to kill everyone without them knowing about it until it is too late. Someone above had a good suggestion–develop a super-virus and then release it after all Americans have received the vaccine.
Not to mention the tongue injuries from all that licking . . .
That’s okay, you can use a sponge soaked in the blood of your enemies.
Duh. That’s why you use the deadly virus, silly willy.
Millions of Americans get inoculated, and then only Americans survive a mysterious disease? Good luck keeping that plot a secret. That scenario is even worse than using nukes; everyone, including allies than normally don’t have nukes pointed at us will have the time to figure out what happened and nuke us to oblivion.
Oh, I almost forgot. This plan will also wipe out all the anti-vax crowd. Win win.
There are ways to inoculate people without them (or anyone else) knowing about it.
Also, “allies”? What part of “kill everybody that’s not in the US” do you not understand?
On the scale of hundred of millions? Unlikely.
But THEY presumably think they are our allies. Otherwise what’s the point of trying to inoculate people in secret? It’ll be obvious what’s happening, secret or not.
Well, most Americans are dead weight anyway, so let’s forget the massive vaccination campaign.
Vaccinate Dopers, a few thousand extra hot chicks, and let 'er rip.
You think they can’t track subs easily and automatically now? Pfffh! Not that they’d admit it, of course.
1812 has long since been consigned to the history books, time has marched on. The US has no need to invade Canada at all, they simply close the border to traffic and we grind to a halt within several days, Ottawa caves, its that simple.

I think you’re assuming much more unity in your country than actually exists. If Canada had attacked you first, I can imagine a blockade being accepted, reluctantly, but stopping trade for no apparent reason is going to get some fairly wealthy and influential Americans, plus a whole lot of people in the border states, downright upset, if not rebellious.
I suppose if there’s been a few years of anti-Canadian propaganda first, pushed along by some Colorado bitch who tried to blame Canada for her children being out of control…
