You obviously don't know much about history or even Australia.
You should provide us all with a few giggles during this conversation with your vast knowledge. I can't wait to see your replies.

Yes ww2, the war in Europe that did not concern us what so ever but we helped out anyway. Iraq was war torn 20 god damn years after the first time we pulped them. And apparently the whole god damn world I don't see anyone stepping up to stop us so yeah that kind of speaks for itself now doesn't it

Entertaining thread, but pretty redundant. USA 312 million, Australia 23.5 million so that should stack the odds in our favour.
The so called war on terror and many other pointless wars and invasions has seen the greenback fall to its lowest value ever.
Yeah our dollar looks strong against theirs, but theres is worth jacksh*t so what does that really mean.
Who really cares whos guns are the biggest anyway, the waste of human life by Americans against their enemies and their own young is disgusting, nothing to be proud of brothers.
In a real pissing contest, Australian courage and fortitude against US conceit and bravado any day of the week.
Quality not quantity.

How many of those 312million are in the armed services?
And of those in the Millitary, howw many would make up an invasion force?
And how many of the 23million would muster to repel the Invading force?
How would you keep supply lines open over that distance?
Not to mention that if something ike that did happen (as unlikely as it is), AU has other allies and shareholders that wouldn't stand for it and would likewise retaliate in one way or another.
AU isn't a backward 3rd world country and our tech is just as advanced, our troops are just as well trained (if not better)... You'd go home with a bloody nose, just like in Nam...!!
Dose'nt matter what a countries population is compaired to another, it's about logistics and demographics and the ability to maintain a foothold.edit on 12/27/2012 by Ironclad because: (no reason given)

Yes, yes. The Queen has no power and is a figurehead (even though she holds God hows much land and dissolves parliaments on a whim). I'm curious, with a disarmed population, if the Queen or future Kings decided they wanted their power back, who would stop them? I find it so amazing that so much trust is given to an inbred royal family known historically for their barbaric acts of murder and genocide... and that so many are brainwashed into actually believing that this woman wields absolutely no power.
The devil's greatest trick was telling people he didn't exist.
"The commonwealth have a long history together" yea, like throwing your prisoners on a boat and dumping them in Australia. Oh but America isn't welcome? Shucks, I had all this tea just ready to gift but I guess it will just have to go in the river.edit on 27-12-2012 by Vidpci because: (no reason given)

Ok then sure Australia and its whole population of 3 people is amazingly powerful and is going to take the world by storm.
Fortress Australia was sh**ing they"re pants.When Japan occupied the Solomon's.Do you remember who came to the rescue?
well with one third of the worlds uranium in our backyard which we are now selling to our friends in India, we are quite capable of becoming a nuclear armed and powered country, we just need the right people in charge.
it was supposed to happen in the 50's-60's but America and Briton freaked out and shut us down.
Put Australia back 100 years.
