Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
I will have a read sounds interesting China don’t need to send the fleet here, just a carrier group….. of which they are building multiple. 15 years time they will have the force projection that the us has. Perhaps they read your book? -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
There’s more than just invasion to worry about. What if they decide to start fishing in our waters because they have fished their own out? At the rate they are building ships they will have a force projection capability by mid 2030’s -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
So yes you’ve got me. Pinned in a corner. Back in history when the first city / states started to form what is considered (by some) to be the first ever nation…. Egypt I am unable at this stage to find another nation for them to invade or be invaded by….. Woe is me…. I have to wait till the... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
So a stronger power now.. Well then my point stands. The strong invade the weak… so going back to the op. China is a real and present threat. Oh and remiss of me, when we were talking about the Chinese aggressive wars which you insisted didn’t amount to much I forgot one. They invaded... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
In 2600 BC, the world's population was still relatively small, and the concept of "nations" in the modern sense was not fully developed. Instead, there were various organized civilizations and societies, including the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the Indus Valley civilization, and the emergence of... -

3270 BC. : The siege of Naqada was both a land and naval battle between the forces of King Scorpion I and Naqada. The war was on Naqada's northernmost frontier. The upshot of this was a finally unified Egypt under King Scorpion 1 (how could he lose with that name eh? Not even fair) Back... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
Going back that far - many nations were city / states And yes for instance you had Uruk in approximately the 2500BC mark conquered Hamazi, Akkad, Kish, and Nippur, ruling over all of Sumer. Eannatum (Sumerian: 2450 BC) was a Sumerian Ensi (ruler or king) of Lagash. He established one of the... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
If I’d just left it at that you might have a point - but then I provided details of the countries they have invaded / occupied. The country they have flat out said they will invade. The fact they are undergoing the largest peacetime military buildup in world history. And a wise man puts all... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
3 and they are building a fourth and plan to have 6 and 370 ward ships by 2030 Source: https://www.19fortyfive.com/2024/12/chinas-navy-6-aircraft-carriers-and-370-warships-by-2030/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/can-china-deploy-6-aircraft-carriers-by-2035/ar-AA1CAS1w?ocid=BingNewsSerp... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
No I stated that there isn’t a fifty year period in human history where a weaker nation hasn’t been invaded by a stronger one. You pulled a 20 year period - but a few years after that 20 year period the very nation you mentioned invaded another nation. 50-20 =30 30 But also with that same... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
Actually you have just misread it. Misunderstood it completely My point is throughout human history, countries that think they can, basically steal shit because they think they can get away with it. And there isn’t even 50 years of our history where it hasn’t happened. And without the us... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
I’m talking about the world. Not individual countries or empires. Not oh Japan didn’t do anything bad for fifty years - but elsewhere in the globe there were ten invasions in that time slot. I’m saying that there hasn’t been a fifty year period in recorded human history where one country /... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
My apologies, I misread that as a withdrawal from the us altogether. However there’s a very very good chance that Trump / trumpism is in for good I don’t want to be part of an alliance with a dictatorship and I feel we should be preparing for that eventuality. -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
That’s 23 years. Less than half of a 50 year period Meanwhile: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman–Parthian_War_of_161–1 You are taking individual empires. I’m stating that the world hasn’t had some country invading another for a fifty year period in human history You can’t just say oh... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
We were discussing a world in which we have ditched the us as an ally….. -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
Oh you need them as well - but you still need the rest of it. Combined arms ops is more important than ever. But yeah Ukraine has 900000 drone pilots… -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
Without the us wa is as well defended as it is without the rest of Australia as it is with Regular infantry battalions 0 Regular armoured cavalry units 0 Regular tank units 0 Regular artillery units 0 Fighter squadrons 0 We do have more than our share of naval units but that’s a strategic... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
They doing need to invade Australia, just nw wa - there’s the resources right there. There’s the fishing scenario. There’s being fought over like the Middle East in ww2 - where you invade as much to deny your enemy resources as you want them yourselves. Little known fact - when Australia... -
Empire and Invasion: Inevitable?
I study history. One of my absorbing hobbies. And what I’ve found is that in recorded human history there is not a single fifty period where a militarily stronger nation hasn’t invaded a weaker nation to steal their shit. We in WA have a shed load of resources, both industrial and food... -
20th Century Stories about WW1 or WW2 you have been told about your grandparents or great-grandparents
My grandad flew hurricanes in the battle of Britain. He was shot down over Dunkirk and e and e’d, nicked a sail boat and sailed home to blighty. He came from a naval family who were disgusted with his defection to “those ridiculous contraptions” The other grandad was a signaler - morse code... -
