fun fact: even though argentina attacked a NATO country, article 5 wasn't invoked because NATO only protects territories above the tropic of cancer as defined in article 6. this is why hawaii is technically not protected by NATO

:marseyneat: pretty neat imo

Pretty much, I think there's probably a few thousand actual natives left.

The other "natives" are just mayoids with .5% Hawaiian ancestry, asians, or some kind of hapa. And I guess Portuguese who are considered different than other mayos for some reason?

I call native Hawaiians "Sea Mexicans" and nobody has punched me in the face yet so I think that's pretty apt.

"Japan did not have enough of a logistic tail to invade California, let alone Hawaii, let alone Midway."

This sounds like cope by the people in the US military during ww2.

Japan absolutely could have overrun California in 1941. They did not do so, only because it did not fit their strategic goals. If they did so, they would have been counter-attacked by an army lead by Patton.

So here's something that could have happened:

December 1941 or January 1942: Japan conquers the western US as far as Denver. At this point I should point out that I am not a weeb. In fact I do not like Japanese culture. I am an American conservative. I am just skeptical about the whole "Japan did not threaten the west coast" thing.

January 1941: Goerge Patton pushes back with infantry divisions. He pushes the Japanese back into the sea.

January 1942: America institutes its island-hopping campaign, as in real life. America overruns Hawaii and Midway. Japan has ignored northern Australia as in real life. By this time, America has developed nuclear weapons. Tokyo is vaporized by multiple nuclear bombs. Japan surrenders.

Februrary 1941: The American southwest is still recovering from its occupation from a hostile power. There are concentration camps set up by the japanese in places like Phoenix, San Francisco, Deadwood, etc.

March 1941: "B-29's have delivered thousands of nuclear weapons upon Moscow; rendering western uninhabited for millions of years."

2xst century: White people, speaking a form of English, establish a colony on Europa, a moon of Jupiter.

One time the Soviets tried to get Mongolia into the Warsaw Pact. The bloc countries in Eastern Europe said it was so transparently just trying to force them into a conflict with China on the other side of the world that even they wouldn't do it.

yeah this is why the US doesn't really care. Also while hawaii is technically not protected by NATO, invoking article 5 is a political decision, so if the US convinced enough people NATO would invoke it anyway

Agree. You can't keep up the will they or won't they thing forever so eventually there has to be some progress in their relationship but that also kills the whole premise of the show.

This is why Korean romcoms (at least around 2005-2015) are best. They actually planned out an ending of the story where you get the wedding and all that payoff and wraps everything up at the right time.

Or there's a really great plot twist at the end that isn't a wedding but even more meaningful like My Name is Kim Samsoon or Arang and the Magistrate.

Nah, but Afghanistan has nothing to do with 9/11. Osama Bin Laden allegedly was behind 9/11, but is not from Afghanistan, the ruler of Afghanistan was Mullah Omar and the Taliban which had nothing to do with Al Queda.

The real group responsible for 9/11 was the Israelis. Just think about, do you know any Muslims capable of flying a couple planes into two towers? Only Jews are capable of being that precise, Muslims lack the intelligence or the ability to do that. Also, why do these terroist groups target every country, but Israel? Look up how Mussad funded ISIS and planted agents among them for more info.

So what if Argentina (or any country below that line) had nukes and nuked a NATO country (that didn't have nukes themselves) what then?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

They would probably still invoke article 5. At the end of the day, invoking article 5 is a political decision, you just need the 32 member states to agree to invoke it, and if a NATO country got nuked i'd find it hard to believe that they wouldn't do it.

however if they did refuse to invoke it, they would absoultely cite article 6 as a reason

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

What's art. 6?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

so article 5 states that an attack against one is an attack against all, and article 6 clarifies that this attack has to be

on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer

tldr: article 6 states that article 5 can technically only be invoked when territories above the tropic of cancer are attacked ("territories" being defined as land under control of the state)
