The sensationalism of this whole ordeal is absurd, any modern nation could invade another nation in a matter of days it's akin to saying that the Luxembourgian Armed Forces are within striking range of Berlin. While that statement is true, it is due primarily to it's geographical disposition rather than any actual preparation for such action.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;44494045]Since when is Israel a minor country[/QUOTE] With a population of ~8 million and a GDP of ~280bn, I'd consider it a minor country. What it's got going for it is a small military capable of dealing with the backwards countries it's surrounded by, plus financial and political aid from the USA. (And nukes) We hear about it in the news a lot but really all it is is a chihuahua.
What the fuck is up with all these 'NATO generals' fearmongering...

[QUOTE=Pantz Master;44494086]Yeah, and the US could send an invasion force to Mexico in 3-5 days too. But its not gonna happen.[/QUOTE] I don't see the US taking Mexico quickly with the amount of munitions the cartel posses.

The reason we suck at countering Guerrilla warfare is because we're unwilling to use our full strength, because we'll hurt innocent people. That's also the reason places like Russia and China excel at countering guerrillas, they don't give a damn about civilians getting hurt.
