why would we invade? WTF does cuba or their lil buddy veni have shit to do with us? are they sad cuz we left them out of the WOT?

hell i dont even consider them a threat, not even during the cuban missile crisis, it was still russia using cuba as an idiot, or a distraction.

like giving a retard a pistol and pushing him out in front of our army.

yeah and they had a hissy fit the russians thought the piolts were actually americans. Israel does sme bold shit, they sent almost all their airforce up to take out egypt and left a handfull of plane to defend the skies of Israel. (like less then a doz. I believe)

The Israeli Army is, pound for pound, the toughest in the world. But that's because they have American technology and training and they are in a constant state of war.

China's military might not be as advanced as ours, but it's a tremendous force, and there's something to be said for the sheer number of boots they can put on the ground. What's scary about China is that for the last twenty-five years they have seen the US perched atop the world, and they are hungry to take our place, quietly but aggressively transforming itself so that it can. It's reminiscent of Japan in the period leading to WWII.

China has an inferiority complex, and that's dangerous.

I'm not confident that we have paid them enough attention in the last decade or so.
