Watch out Europe!

That's simply not possible. They'd have to cross an ocean, and to do that they would first have to conquer "boat technology". Since we're about 500 years more advanced than them technology-wise, by the time they master the boat, we'll probably be watching TV comfortably on Mars.
I remember in school we learned something about some very advanced nations that couldn't be conquered and, uh, wait they were all conquered? I hope that Europe and America won't be conquered, but I don't think when the whole world is muslimic that America will stand against eternally... Regards, Ingo

As long as we possess the will, we cannot be conquered because, unlike previous advanced nations, we have enough nukes to destroy any enemy that is about to overtake us, and we're not afraid to use 'em.

Oh, I see... kind of like how European companies pass out "donations" to totalitarian Islamic regimes and ousted dictators?

I remember reading a news story out of Britain about 2 years ago. Europe was very proud because a Eurofighter and an F-15 flying over Britain spotted eachother and decided to have some fun with a mock dogfight. Both pilots were impressed and said that the Eurofighter was slightly better than the F-15...But the F-15 is over 30 years old! It's currently being replaced by the F-22[^] which is just supposed to be amazing (an F-15 doesn't stand a chance).

2 F22's downed 10+ F-15's in a mock combat. F-15's didn't even see them.

This is a real concern; especially in light of the fact that all these Islamic nations really have it all put together. I've never seen such cooperation on a grand scale! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

What? I didn't wrote that it will happen. I just that if Europe will be conquered it could happen, and that Europe will be conquered wasn't my idea.

To be honest, I really don't think it is a concern either now or in the future... Islam has a multitude of internal problems - not the least of which are the divisions of the different sects. As a culture, they need to grow immensely before they will have any capability of gaining control of other parts of the world.

That's right baby! Nothing comes close to our colby-jack! Or Baby Swiss! Although I could really go for some smoked gouda right now. ..I love cheese.
Swiss cheese is totally over-rated and over-priced.

I think you are right. But European politicians are to friendly with islamic fundamentalists. Many years they looked away because of "freedom of religion". Seems to get a little better know, even if we got some "I-will-never-learn-unimportant-what-will-happen"-politicians here. :^)

What - your dope is superior - maybe your cute little uniforms or snazzy little submachine guns ( that jam when dirty ).

There are those who are gullable enough to believe the excrement that eminates from that foul mouth. Time for Pakistan to forcefully and permanently close (and prosecute) those madrasas that teach extremist fundamentalist ideologies. Then the world might become a little safer from such extremists.

Shame on me to join this little ours are "bigger, better, faster" game, but here is a link about tanks, of course it is just a personal view of Leopard against M-1: http://www.strategypage.com/dls/articles/200418.asp[^]

Of course it is on purpose. hezbolla is using UN positions as cover and the UN is doing nothing about it. "Retired Canadian Major General Lewis Mackenzie was interviewed on CBC radio, and had some very interesting news about the UN observer post hit by Israeli shells; the Canadian peacekeeper killed there had previously emailed Mackenzie telling him that Hizballah was using their post as cover." http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/why_the_un_post_was_bombed/

I don't much about tanks, but the opinion of that author is correct and based on my loose interpretation of something on Wikipedia, the United States has about 4 times as many M1's than Europe has Leopards. All that is irrlevant, though, since all the leopards would first be bombed from above.

but which way are they coming. If they use my standard Risk/World Empire route of going through Israel into Egypt, along the North African coast and then up into Spain then I'm not too worried. Or are they going via Afghanistan and into Europe that way. Gotta know which way they are coming so I move my troops into the right neighbouring countries,
