I'll do things the same way that the Salarians do. Have agents infiltrate their economy and spend years tearing them apart from the inside before I fire a single shot.
(Ignoring that this wasn't meant to have a great deal of scrutiny on it.) I think you're misunderstanding. The idea isn't to nuke things and then swoop in and invade.ElPatron said:Snip.
I wish I still had that game... it made my early teen years bearable.Combine Rustler said:France, of course. All I gotta do is send in a few Tesla troopers (gettit? it's like a PUN on shock troops!) and turn the Eiffel tower into the ultimate tesla coil of doom. Nobody can attack me, I can attack everybody within France with mega-lightning.
Simple, really.
So Saddam was actually producing WMDs that the US didn't find? Besides, those things are too costly and are basically white elephants.ElPatron said:To use a known internet meme, "Fake news is fake". To actually make the US believe you are producing WMDs, you must produce them. Besides, making the US throwing the first stone would be a lost cause. There would be a lot of international pressure, UN doing absolutely nothing worth mentioning and your people suffering from the embargoes. Don't forget that the US lost trillions in a war of attrition that lasted over a decade, they don't want to sink into debt even more.Arif_Sohaib said:I would spread fake news of my country building various WMDs giving the US an excuse to attack, but before this time my spies would be busy gathering intel on the US offensive capabilities and my scientists would prepare defenses against those very weapons so when they do attack they would be in for a surprise. A successful defense would boost the confidence of my allies and we would plan retaliation and this time we would combine our forces and do the Red Alert 2 thing.
In case things got really hairy, you'd probably be assassinated. Mossad, American special forces or just like in Afghanistan, the US would supply weapons and training. Instead of kicking Russian butts, this time it's a revolution.
Finally, if you want to protect your own country against American weapons, you don't need high tech that takes years to perfect - just make your own Second Amendment. If there is a rifle behind every blade of grass and explosives ready to maim and traumatize thousands of soldiers, the cost of invasion will be far too high.
