The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

But, insanity aside, what would be the economic or military motive for invading the United States?

Though there have been cases of insanity-wars, most military adventures throughout history have been economic in nature. Would someone want to enslave our population? Would it be our vast coal resources? Colonization of a land with lots of water and agriculture? What are we so in danger of?

Saying we are in danger of kooks with nukes is like saying you are in danger of being hit by a bus today.

It's possible, but I wouldn't advise spending half of your weekly paycheck on avoiding that bus accident.
