Fire up the tank. 😀

No I think everone would catch on and gang up against the Americans if it cam right down to that.
 
yes we can we are doing it now

see the theory is we will open our borders blindly eventually so many mexicans will come in that we will be one nation

see one nation down then the rest of south america

we dont need to fight they come in willingly into the fold

The US couldnt take China on alone, as much as they would like you to think they could, their army is 6x the size of ours last i checked. Not to mention we would get nuked.

Now if all the nations in the UN were with us.... its possible...

Hey, but we could use our particle cannon right back at them. 😀

Yeah I can just imagine all the Pasty Faced Pudges Charging in from over the Ridge only stopping on occasion to stuff their festering gobs with Cheetohs or for a F@p Session every time a female looked their way.

Heh heh heh, true American pride 😎.

We could not take over the world though, not enough people are willing to fight for *ANY* cause in this country, let alone taking over the world like a bunch of tards.

You are kind of a dumb ass aren't you?
 
If the whole Europe would be united and we would be fighting on our own land we would easily win if no mass destruction weapons would be used and no missiles that wouldn't be sent from planes.
 
I think America could do it - but to what end? I am an American and I have no interest in the rest of the world from a territorial point of view.

It could be done but at a great cost of human life, and of course we could not do it with the current government, so there would have to be revolution and a military power installed. In the end we would rule the world yes, but be prisoners to a military government.

I like things the way they are, any American dissatisfied with the area of land we have now is welcome to leave.
 
The only way would be to use a lot of extremely large hydrogen bombs with some kind of stealth delivery system (so they don't see the missiles comming). Very big hydrogen bombs are well, very big boom. Not likely to turn out favorable in any way.
 
Never mind "could we?" the real question is "why the hell would we want to?". If I was left to decide, I'd say no, much of the world is a cesspool that would do us no good to control. The rest of it is ok just as it is.

We can do it but we'll need a military 50 times as large and assuming theres no WMD involved.

If there were some involved, there's really no doubt as to the outcome.

Our wonderful planet will become a rotten apple floating in space, either that or insects will take over a post-human world.

He's unaware of the part where the Aztlan separatist movements funded by the Ford Foundation (according to Bill O'Reilly, anyway) kick in.
 
Not a chance. If there were no nukes then maybe, and if there was no un, maybe, and if countries didn't care if you took over them then maybe.

If we started to invade all the countries of the world, do you really think that we would be able to do this? Could we attack China, all of Korea and Japan at the same time while invading Africa, Britain and Sweeden? What about Canada? Could we wipe those guys out as well? You have to admit, it would be pretty interesting.

I wonder how long we could sustain a world war 3. Everyone against us!! Could we pull something like that off?

🙂
We could take over the worls, yes, there would be nothing left, but yeah we could do it. If we were to take over the world we would do it through key alliances, like Britain, Israel, Japan etc. We would use their bases as jump off points, and their men to complement our own. Do it one country at a time, not all at once. Eventually the alliance would merge and yes America would have taken over the world at a terrible cost. More terrible would be if it really were a world war 3. To answer your question we would win/lose that in about 30 min (the time it would take to unleash a few of our H-bombs that would be enough to destroy the world)

Why would we want to? Moral reasons aside with ownership comes responsibility ...

You could even argue that the entire concept of ownership is an illusion. What matters is both control and responsibility.
