Incredible. I realize it is only Hollywood, but how are we to suspend disbelief long enough to swallow being invaded by a few starving wretches in North Korean quilted pantaloons?
Lob a couple of nuclear missiles at Alaska or even the Golden Gate Bridge? Sure, I'll bite. Invade America with a force big enough to take over something besides Minot, North Dakota? No way.
They just kissed off whatever money they thought they would make on the film. Might as well bag the whole thing.
"YOU ROWND EYE! YOU REEDIT RED DAWN REMAKE, MAKE KOREAN DOG INVADERS NOT US! WE STOP BUYING YOUR T-BILLS! YOU YANKEES OWR BITCHES BOUGHT AND PAID FOR! WE CHINESE OWN YOU!
ps Kim Jong Il is such a bad ass name I'm surprised no International Techno DJ has usurped the name.
The only way uncle Kim could get his people to invade the US would be if he told them that the US has more than grass to eat, which of course we surely do - for perhaps a few more years.
Well, Shy Wolf, could you be a bit more forthcoming on your facts and a bit less willing to engage in an ad hominem attack.
Exactly what is it I said that caused you to spew?
North Korea is a basket case that has no industrial base with which to mount an attack aimed at an occupation of one square inch of what is a state within these United States.
While China does have that industrial base, it's busy making money for the Chinese and can't be bothered with empire just now and is unlikely to be so bothered ever in the future, you see, China has no history of foreign conquest of any kind outside their traditional sphere. Further, the Chinese don't have any naval equipment that would be sufficient to wage a trans-Pacific war, it has no landing craft, no support craft, and so forth.
If anyone wishes to discuss this based on actual logistical capabilities and not on Bill Gertz fantasy stories, I'm surely game.
Hey, Pat H., your SS uniform came back from the cleaners, and your knee boots are polished to a high luster. By the way, smart guy, there are two and maybe three nuke cabable Islamic countries, and if you remember 9/11, Moslems managed to kill almost 3,000 people in broad daylight, up against supposedly the most armed nation in the world, using box cutters to commandeer four aircraft. Your ability to talk loftily about this and that, while showing your undeniable Jew hating, and Moslem loving self is breath taking. Why not take a break, and go sing Watch on the Rhine to your Hitler bust in the hallway?

MGM will loose their shirts on this in my opinion, it's a silly premise.
ReplyDeleteChina can't logistically conduct such an operation.
North Korea can't even build a decent ocean going vessel, much less plan and carry out a trans-Pacific invasion of North America.
It's always logistics, logistics, logistics.

Don't forget to check my page for the "other" Red Dawn, Australia.
The PRC should stick its head up its own ass, and fight for air.
ReplyDeleteAs I said elsewhere...
ReplyDeleteThe double-speak is impressive!
"An MGM spokesman said that no one at the studio has had discussions with Chinese government officials about 'Red Dawn'..."
'Course not!
The PRC contacted Dear Reader, who sent his minions to "have a talk" with the studio.
Sickening...

Tremble at our new superpower status, Imperialist American pig-dogs!

I'm so ronery.
ReplyDelete- Kim Jong Il

The very least they could have done is chosen a realistic enemy... like she has...

The most realistic countries I can think of, with today's facts and realities, would be either Mexico or Israel.
ReplyDeleteNo Islamic country is in the running. Muslim immigrants are a problem much like termites are a problem, but that's easily handled.
Sure, Pat- and I've got some seashore in Arizona I'll sell you cheap. If you're nice, I may even throw in the Golden Gate bridge as a bonus.
