Poll question: As an American, If say China & Russia teamed up and invaded us
to steal our resources and to capitulate a govt. that they are not in favor of, would you become an "insurgent" and fight against them?

I say Hell Yeah!

1. Thanks to the RW redefinition machine, we would be "terrorists"...
...not insurgents.

2. Would they be displacing the bu$h*co government?
If it threw bu$h* out of power, my response would be "meh" (replacing one evil with another).

If they overthrew a democratically elected government, I would fight against them.

4. Warning! Dont' reply to this poll.
The Russians and Chinese are tapping the lines and taking names just in case they do decide to invade. You don't wnat them to know who you are.

6. Damn straight
This is my rational in debates as to why they fight in iraq.
They don't hate our freedom, they hate freedom at the end of a gun.

10. Strictly hypothetical.
You may change the names of the countries if you wish.

14. Nuclear weapons completely invalidate the hypothetical.
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 08:07 PM by K-W
Without nukes it would probably be alot more possible than anyone would like to think.

15. China wouldn't. As Walmart is one of their top economic bedbuddies,
They wouldn't dare risk a fight.

Think of it this way: China is a pimp and walmart is an aggressive ho.

Of course, if American consumers are Walmart's biggest johns, even China would have to realize that we're soon going to run out of money and go somewhere else for buyers... Not to mention usable oil...

16. China won't have to take any such drastic steps like an invasion.
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 08:13 PM by tjwash
They are already piece by piece, financing our national debt. After they buy up a significant percentage of it, they will have us over an economic barrel. Expect Mandarin to be taught in our public schools in the next 15 or 20 years, like Spanish is taught now.

9. I'd be armed with everything I own, killing them right and left.
As they say, "Hell ain't even half full yet!'.

13. In your hypothetical,
I assume you want to give the idea that they have totally overrun us, there were no nukes involved and now we were being occupied by a sino-russian force?

If so the best strategy would be to organize an international terrorist organization, get ahold of a nuclear weapon, destroy an enemy capital and take it from there.

17. What I'm saying is , if another nation comes into your country, kills
hundreds of thousands of civilians, plunders your artifacts and resources, then tells you and the world that they are there to liberate you from your evil form of government and that you should be thankful for it, would you take up arms to fight them to the death to take back your own country?
Putting all nukes aside.

18. It all depends on the specific situation.
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 08:17 PM by K-W
I would only do so, if I thought that doing so was in my, and my family's best interests.
