Imagine the damage one insurgent group, like the Taliban or Al-Qaeda, has done to occupying forces in Afghanistan or Iraq. Now multiply that to what sort of damage an occupier would suffer from occupying an entire planet.

Imagine they have superiour technologies, that nobody could handle. They are invulnerable against to any weapon we have. they can control our minds..etc.... Just a fantasy. It is not a warfare question actually.

What I wonder is if there could be a united world, trusteable international legal system....
I want to urge people just to run their imagination power.

Re: Alien invasion.


Sighting,

I have lost all my hope about the possibility of binding international law on earth. Allience were the lost ray of hope for the world where no one care about any law. there is no international law system.

Iran, Israel, doesnt care, because it is not trusteable and balanced.

I fell down to a level that I wish any hope from a miracle.

They are great reads I for one always wonder what life what have been like with WW2 ending in some kind of draw. These aliens basically save Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan ect. The Allies and the Axis have to deal with a new threat, later we get to see Nazi Germany survive in an alternate timeline to our own, very interesting.

I don't know how you can say that. They might study our history and copy the actions of the Europeans in the America's and Australia towards the treatment of native populations.

What will happen next is a testosterone party and we will annihilate each other because we will not agree on a plan to deal with the situation. Hence the job of the aliens is done.
