no, as i said, NATO countries are not neutral countries. They are allies of the US so an enemy. But why would they launch against China or India? That only invites more nuclear strikes against your own country.

why though? Just because they then want to be only nuclear power? Its insane, the entire notion is. Nuclear war is insane enough on its own.

Its highly unlikely(the entire scenario of course) that the US and Russia would launch against countries that are neutral just because they are nuclear powers. That Russia would attack NATO is likely though, any ally of the US is automatically their enemy, and Europe is pretty fucking close...

If we are talking about Macau or Hongkong style territory why are we talking about Jeju island? Jeju is a bit too far off the coast. Why not Geoje island instead?

the first 3 anglo-dutch wars might have been won by the Dutch, but they didn't exactly strengthen the Dutch Republic either, they only more or less prevented from being overwhelmed by the English and were saved mostly because of turmoil in England itself rather than the few brilliant tactical...

strangely enough we can understand a significant number of Scandinavian words, not Finnish specifically, but Norwegian. Estonian is not among them though. Probably not what the OP meant or actually understands, since he thinks they can just go ahead and take everything. But still.

If you are gonna list a few "recognized/profound" Dutch people would you please not include the Vengaboys? As a Dutch person, thank you. Name some inventors, Admirals or philosophers then.

The Allies had made deals on the division of Germany. Could they? Yes. Would they? No. So is it possible? No.

The US did. Not the South Vietnamese. But i see your point, the VC was neutralised by 1970. Yet the PRG persisted, even prospered. Not functionally, but diplomatically. Despite Phoenix, which booted them out the countryside and into the mountains, they kept on existing. They even got seats at...

Uhm, 2 members of the UN security council and the basis and founder of NATO withdraw from those assemblies. WWIII is maybe 2 or 3 steps away.

it might take pressure off, sure, i'm not saying it will do completely nothing. But taking pressure off is far from winning the war. The South's problems were a lot bigger than simple pressure. All it will do is perhaps slow down the NVA and VC. But the South still had no means to combat them...

So? they do what they have to do. Thats my point. you are not stopping the supply and reinforcement of the VC and NVA in the South by taking away their fuel.

not if you don't have fuel....

Ho Chi Minh trail wasan entire network of roads, it had tons of traffic, doesn't matter if it were trucks or bicycles, it can take a lot of transport. it was uncatchable, unbreakable. Didn't matter how much better the infrastructure of South Vietnam was, nor the military might of the US. After...

if you are trying to starve them they will just find other things to eat. Hell, they'll go back to bicycles and on foot if thats what it takes.

eveni f they had gone with Operation Duck Hook, the Republic of Vietnam would not have existed anywhere. Nothing short but annexing Vietnam into the US is going to help the Vietnamese become a republic. They couldn't bomb the North into submission, so not even if they are nukes. Operation...

thats about the idea of the total war. In a total war you don't only have to fight the enemy soldiers, tanks, airforce and navy, you have to fight the enemy industry. In a total war the country's industry, economy and population are fully turned to support the war effort. Its easy to fight the...

what exactly do you expect Greece to do with these bombs? Can't use them, can't reveal you have them, can't make or buy new ones, can't use the cores for nuclear energy. I'd call that thrown away money, and thrown away nuclear material. Unsafely probably.

can the Soviet mobilize and build-up in 1940 as fast as they did in 1941? if so, the Germans are screwed regardless. Despite the winter not being that tough. And LL or some form of Cash & Carry will be rapidly approved and implemented to support the USSR.

the topic hasn't nearly been discussed as much as Sea Lion, yet. Also the japanese were way close to succeeding with that than the Germans were with sea lion. Lots of ifs, close to ASB, but not full-on unnameable sea mammal.
