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

Unlike the Yanks who historically have funded the up and comers.

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[^]

Interesting article. There was a lot that was not mentioned however. I am not a tank guy ( I was airborne) but what I have read is that the M-1 has the best target stability stuff in the world. It is able to fire its main gun at top speed over rugged terrain due to the onboard computer stabilizing the turret and compensating for the relative motion with the target. I also read that the size of the projectile is not as germain as it used to be due to improvements in the sabot round. In order to defeat reactive armor the newer sabots use some sort of system that uses focused explosives to penetrate with liquidfied metal. I damn sure do not want to be the target of any of those big bad boys. I do believe that the new sabot was a British invention that we stole borrowed for our armor but I don't recall exactly. I had all that stuff on my old computer that decided to give up the ghost a few months ago. Richard

You should see the Starfighter it was one of the best European planes ever. I just wish that all of them woudln't have crashed at their maiden flight
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).

We can always convert it to run on alternative fuels. Of course, then the battle would be between Democrats wanting to convert the Raptor to run on wind or solar energy (zero-emissions, if you don't count the depleted uranium), and Republicans pushing for it to burn puppies and orphans (Bush: "Gotta get yer puppy/orphan mix just right -- Heh, heh").

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.

Uh. I didn't know that we are a foe of the US. Until know I thought we are friends. :sigh:
