If there was a massive alien invasion.

[Araraukar]

Taking the Alien PoV for a moment... how to attack earth from a space-based position...
*snipped*

I'm in love with how you think.

The logical approach from alien POV is almost nonexistent in scifi movies, because humans getting ****ed up doesn't sell.

[Laerod]

Humanity would unite... like it always does. There is greater danger to all sides (aliens), so they would put aside rivalries and unite to fight against common foe. Most likely: Nuke, More nuke, and even more nuke before figuring out their weakness and hopefully winning.

It doesn't. When the Turks came for Vienna, the French were backstabbing everyone. There's numerous countries that joined the Nazis as allies. Humans are an opportunistic bunch. I'm sure there'd be a couple countries striking a deal so long as the aliens played their hand right.

[Scandavia]

If there were an alien invasion I would go all the way to the white house, and tell them to launch ICBMs and get the world to fight. If they're too pussy to do it then we are screwed.

There is one man that would find the right words.

I think they'd be a bit busy to talk to you.

Appoint that man President of Earth.

Didn't work out so well in Independence Day. Well, at least in the beginning. Then they got all soft-hearted.

But only if we're getting invaded.

One thing is for sure.

France is going to join the aliens.

[Divair]

Every nuke and bomb would be thrown at them.

If they survive, we'd get fucked over.


The end.

[Ifreann]

Appoint that man President of Earth.

But only if we're getting invaded.

The President of Earth shall have only one duty and no powers. That duty shall be to inspire us to rebel when aliens invade.

I know Hollande is in and all, but I don't think they'll warm up to foreigners quite that easily.

[Araraukar]

The Union Republic of Densaner welcomes our new Alien overlords and masters.

General is an OOC forum.

He has a point, though, not all countries would go against the aliens if they thought they could side with them to further their own agendas. And that - and fear of your neighbours doing just that - would likely be the real downfall of any sort of unified international response.

An RP statement is not a point. 'Sides, I made that point already =P

There's numerous countries that joined the Nazis as allies.

Mind you, some countries preferred working with the Nazis to being conquered by the Soviet Union, when it came to siding with the "evil".

And look how that worked out.

[Deus Est Machina]

We would die.
There is no way that we would be able to survive an alien invasion if they can travel at faster than light speeds.
If they have sufficiently advanced technology, we wouldn't be able to do anything about it except probably beg for mercy.

I'd imagine they'd drop some nanotech that rapidly multiplies, actively seeking out organic compounds rather than sending out troops.

Well, Finland ended up fighting off the Nazis too, and made it through as an independent country. Worked pretty well for them.

[Phaedrus Imperator]

Assuming they have the technology to get to our planet you could probably assume they have the technology needed to absolutely butt-fuck us.

Thing is, they would also need to be intelligent. If they were, why the hell would they come here? We would kill ourselves to take them down. Most countries can destroy the world 3x over, and while I can't speak for the rest of the world, the UK can be ready to fire in just over an hour. They would probably kill us before we could see them if they had a chance. Also, they would stay the hell away from the USA because they would just kill and dissect the aliens without provocation.

Heh, even before the nuclear disarmament treaties and programs, humanity didn't possess enough nukes to destroy this planet. Wipe out most of the civilization, maybe, but the world? Nowhere near.

Well, if we only count countries that didn't end up losing badly it would seem that it wasn't too bad an idea, yeah. But that would be intellectually dishonest, now wouldn't it? =P

We have something they want or need? They really like killing shit? We accidentally insulted their mothers with FOX News broadcasts?

Bollocks, most countries couldn't destroy the Earth once over.

and while I can't speak for the rest of the world, the UK can be ready to fire in just over an hour. They would probably kill us before we could see them if they had a chance.

Probably.

Easy to do when you're killing us from very far away.
