Tough question, defend my homeland from the historic genociders trying to finish the job and end up drone bombing senile old men glued onto mules to form human wave cavalry charges is my ancestral duty. Then again the option to sit around in the beautiful france countryside and wait in a bush near the fake mcdonalds for americans.
Since its the north of France, I gotta say eastern fronts work from home is more attractive.
I’m a manufacturing engineer specialized in machining exotic alloys and complex parts, even though I have changed career a few years ago I have experience in manufacturing complex military parts.
So I would probably be in a factory trying to produce as much military equipment as possible.
Kind of same, I would get send back to H&K most likely
Don’t forget the two fronts the US would be fighting across the Atlantic.
Maybe 3 if those with interests in the Pacific get involved.The one with warm weather.
What would Russia want with Vosges I wonder. To answer your question, probably Belgium. At least I can contemplate death with a good beer sliding down my oesophagus.
I’m disabled so I can’t fight.
But if I could, I would want to be on the Jura, holding up the Advance that seems to be nearing Basel, Switzerland.
I did after all train as an alpine soldier durning my military training. So I think I’d enjoy mountaineous terrain the most.
It really bugs me that I’m “in the same boat”, actually.
Like, if they needed a guy to just man a watchtower or something I’d volunteer the shit out of that. I’m pretty powerless when it comes to other things though.
If your a civilian you want to be on the US front, if your a soldier you want to be on the Russian front.
It seems most people get it, but I don’t - Care to explain?
Americans are better at following the laws of war, but are also more efficient at waging war.

Idk man, the beheadings, crucifictions and other genocide in Ukraine seems quite distasteful too
I agree, but we haven’t seen the depravity that will be encouraged by the new fascist leaders. I am desperately hoping that getting rid of Medicare will piss enough military people off that they won’t defend him.
VA benefits are distinct from Medicare (which is distinct from Medicaid). Cutting Medicare (the one for old people) isn’t going to do much to active service members. Nor, I think, will cutting Medicaid (the one for poor people).
I agree not directly, and while these people may be severely stunted in empathy, they do have it for those in their immediate circle. If their parents lose their money and health, they may care.
Not certain. These ghouls are able to contort anything into anything it seems.
Correct. It’s the cuts to the VA that’ll piss them off. The Medicaid cuts will piss them off because it’ll impact their families.
Well, glad you spit that out,feel better? Want a glass of water?
You’ve already got my region of England highlighted, so there I suppose! I could work from home xD
Well, since my whole country is already coloured Red, i’m guessing there’s not a lot of choice.
Had to check if Dutch or Russian
Well, technically, there’s a small part of Limburg that remains free, but since we don’t really consider that area part of the country, it still counts.
I guess US. More likely to get blown up, but at least the weather is nicer.
Britain needs to ramp up their navy again! BRITANIA RULE THE WAVES ONCE MORE!
Wake up the Dutch and Spanish too
Oh no, we were too loud and woke up Belgium too. Quick Congo, run and hide!
Made me laugh
Leopold is back?!
It’s time Portugal to rise once more
The dutch have different problems rn and the spaniards i belief given up on their dreams of a spanish ruled sea.
(Fun fact that i just HAVE TO tell. I got to see the original battle plan maps from the spanish armadas battle against the english near Portsmouth, in the Portsmouth Naval Museum in 2023. They take them out to display under special light only every 50 or 80 or so decades the historian there told me. It was soo cool!!! And i had a real big autism hyperfocus with adhd hyperactive moment!!! To think i almost didnt go there if my boyfriend didnt take me!)
How close could you get? Was there a smell?
Ah sorry i didnt take a picture of them. But they were in the building where its all about Admiral Nelson. In the last room. I’ll ask my boyfrirnd if they took any pictures
Update: no they reminded me that it was forbiden to take any pictures at all of them Buuut i have found this nice vehicle that we saw in Portsmouth
Litterly up close. Only a glass panel seperated us. I’ll look threw the pics i took if i maybe took one. It was forbiden to take with light. And it wasnt very bright in the room
The closest I ever got to something that old was a contemporary copy of the US Declaration of Independence; that’s brand new compared to what you saw.
I own a bullet from the 17th-18th century and well being in a roman city, you cant build anything or dig anywhere without first giving archeologists the front run at digging.
This map forgets that the US have direct access to bases in NATO countries.
Trump could just send troops in the open to the bases, and then turn around on the local forces.
US taking over NATO countries will not be a Normandie style sea landing, they would break out of our own bases having disabled them first.
And they have a kill switch for a lot of NATO tech
People coming up with scenarios like that forget that the US would have huge supply lines to keep those bases going while the other country is literally right there. And it is not as if you would need to besiege a modern military base for months to starve them out.
While it’s inaccurate to pretend the US would just steamroll the EU in a land war in the EU, we also shouldn’t pretend like the bases wouldn’t be problematic. Everywhere the US operates requires huge supply lines, so it’s not the absolute deal breaker it would be for most nations.
Starting with places to land and manage supplies would be a big advantage.
The biggest issue would be that usually they use the bases to house troops during the lengthy process of getting them into place for deployment, so there would be a lot of questions about how to actually move the people over fast enough, but getting the supplies there would be relatively routine.There’s no way the US could take or hold Europe without an aggreable civilian population. Given the differences in expenditures, military size, experience, and developed tools and logistics there’s also no real way any European nation is going to be able to effectively stop them. Basically a significantly worse Vietnam type situation, from the perspective of both sides.
The EU has 500+ million population. Do you you think that the few thousands of american troops in Europe can fight against that? Even if the EU had no military, it would be an impossible fight. And the EU has a lot of military, vastly outnumbering american military stationed in Europe.
You’re years out of date

Are you from the future?
Close enough. Especially if you add Norway, Switzerland and the UK.
What?
Population means very little when we have to fight tanks, boats, planes and missiles.
We have few military weapons outside of military bases, the US only needs to take control of a few bases to cripple us
Population means very little when we have to fight tanks, boats, planes and missiles.
Those things cant automatically teleport to european soil. Aircraft carriers can only do so much and they also cant teleport. Numbers are still relevant, especially when backed by existing european military. Morale is also relevant.
Europe is a giant place, with shitload of people, that have a strong desire to defend against invaders. Look what happened to Vietnam or Ukraine. As long as you have a large enough group of people, with decent equipment and morale, you can do great things.
You do know that the US maintains a supply of tanks and equippent in many countries on their bases the world over?
If you have one tank, it is easier to get another one.
Do you think european nations dont have any tanks?
We absolutely do have tanks, really good tanks, but we don’t have recent combat experience with using them, sure we have run exercises with them, but the US have active combat experience using their tanks.
Romanians be like: at the beginning or at the end of the war?
Heaven, hell, valhalla or wherever. but I won’t be fighting a human war
Are they fighting each other or just hitting all of Europe in a pincer movement?
Why not both?
Full Molotov Von Ribbentrop.
