A hypothetical question

If your home country was attacked by another state, who had superior military power (not terrorists), what would you do?

Personally, I would have gotten a rifle and some equipement, run for the mountains and start some guerilla warfare (blowing up bridges and snipering/ambushing patrols and similar).

So; what would YOU have done? Why?

And if you'd just stayed home minding your own buisness (which is probably the safest and most sensible thing to to), would you see any moral or ethic principps, such as the one known as 'patriotism', that could change your mind?

Getting berserk, putting brain activity on zero and starting Sniping, hoping to kill some high-ranking officers before I get killed myself... I know my country will never be infaded. There is just nothing to get... Most people don't know where it is in fact...

But I know a country north of mine that can be legally invaded when some citizens are held there (hague invasion act)

I cant see myself ever actually killing anyone.  Maybe if I ever had kids and someone raped/abused/maimed/hurt one of them badly, then I am sure I would be in a rage & want to kill

But war, well imo theres enough senseless deaths already.  I wouldnt want to contribute to it, esp since I think in most causes the ppl that need to be killed are the ones sitting around in offices leading the wars, not actually doing the fighting - whats the point in killing the poor soldiers who in a lot of cases dont want to be there

Not that I ever really think Aus would get invaded - but if we did I would run away and hide.  Preferably with family and anyone else I could find.  Go so far inland and just hole up til it was over, hopefully then at least we would live through it.  Then I wouldnt have to be part of the stupid thing, and I wouldnt have to worry about being captured

You Ankh-Morporkian!

But seriously, that's not a too bad way to do it - all rulers are the same, anyway... Chirac, Bondevik, Bush, Blair, Schröder, Hitler, Mussolino, Hynkler, Napolini, or whoever...

Well.. it has happened in the past that at least a couple times, Belgium got dragged into the wars or getting caught in the middle of conflicting countries.  Let's not hope for that lol!

Anyway,  I honestly don't like the idea of war.  But, it happens regardless.  But, I think as a defensive reaction I probably would stock up on survival supplies and equipment.. weapons and ammo too.  Research area maps and find the most secure position to build a camp safer than our house. (House is in the mountains.  Really easy target) Hmm... Traps.. Need to set-up traps  *snickers*

My plan:

1.Kill Woock
2.steal his idea

Nah,I got a better one:I think I'd run away north to Finland,make an army there and start raiding ports and coastal settlements.Then,when I have my invader on his knees,I invade with my army,kick their asses,rape their women,hang their children,loot and burn their villages,townsand cities,kill their leaders and enslave thier men so they'll build me a huge palace and then I exile them into Siberia to freeze and starve in the taiga!
MUAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA
So don't even think about invading my home!

One set of politicians will scre you over as much as the next one.... I doubt I'd notice the difference much.

If necessary I'd fight I guess, but it depends, I might emigrate to somewhere a lot nicer....... not hard when I live in england

you cast on them berserk and weakness.
and thats it

maybe you should cast mass haste and watch how they attacking themselves from distance


of course just kidding.
take weapons and go on all or nothing.
kamikaze or crazy bomberman allway works in that kind of fight. and of course guerilla fight is the best

Wow Terje, you sure have changed! LOL

What I'd do? Well, #1 would be to protect my family. I'd pay for a plane ticket to get them out as soon as possible.

But it would very much depend on what the war is about... in Canada, the only nation close to us that could such a thing would be the USA, and well, fighting them would be suicide. Suicide for principles, that is!

Perhaps Terje you'd like to post what you'd do now, I'd be really interested in what you'd do nowadays!

sorry Terje...
I'd a most likely have been the state with superior military power that attacked it's neighbour in the first place...

(something about world domination.....  
RISK anyone??)  

actually I'd use my "world domination" board game tactic (ask Conan)

retreat, fortify, rebuild...  destroy!!

Well, if its a superior millitary power, there's no point in fighting, is there? Guerilla warfare, in some situation could come as the best solution. First of all, i wouldnt automatically defend my country, but would estimate both the agressors regime and my country's and determine their intentions and the possible repercussions. Only then i would take a side and accordingly, a position, best suited to pursue what i think is the best for the people. Such position could range from spy for the invaders, political agitator, guerilla commander, post-war party president, revolutionary leader to quiet civilian in hiding.
Oooor... i could just nuke em.

If you did decide to emigrate, you are welcome in my house. Though I don't think Americans could sit idly by whilst your country was invaded. We've a small bit of history between our two countries (you know). What was the old boy's name? Was it Billy Fiske? My feelings would more closely emulate his than any other if such a thing were to occur.

I`d promtly emmigrate to England.

And if, by some chance, UK happened to be the country that was doing the invading I`d spray-paint Rule Britannia in giant letters all over my house.
