Default A hypothetical situation

What if Vladimir Putin decided to park a Russian navy fleet on each of the US coasts?

What if China started building military bases in Canada and Mexico and had a rotating deployment of over 100,000 Chinese troops?

What if India started funneling $30 billion a year into Cuba for military purposes?

What if the EU accused the US of being a dangerous nuclear superpower, and imposed sanctions on the United States unless we stopped using nuclear power?

What if the United States was controlled by a rather handsome man that also though no homosexuals existed in the entire country?
What if he thought the holocaust didn't happen?
What if he personally made professors he didn't like or agree with resign from universities?
What if he supported terrorist groups around the globe?

You can play the what if game forever. Fact is that our president is dangerous because he is unintelligent, while theirs is dangerous because he poses a real threat to freedom not only in his own country but around the world.

The lack of responses in this thread confirms exactly what I was thinking before I posted it.

Never happen, they probably would never make it past England without sinking or have a catastrophic failure, let alone making it to the east coast.

We would have that fence built in no time flat with National Guard troops stationed along it permanently.

India is already spending ALOT of money upgrading their military infrastructure, so i'm not sure how plausible this would be.

Tit for tat. If we are going to hit other folks for it, shouldn't we follow the same routes? But you know we along with Russia probably have not destroyed or removed from active inventory the numbers we say we have.

What if we all voted for Ron Paul?

Then we could all stick our heads in the sand.

So you take a hypothetical situation, say it will never happen or that it's not plausible, missing the point completely, and somehow think you're not sticking your head in the sand.

To me, for an idea to be hypothetical, there has to be some believability about it. In some of those, I don't believe it's possible.

Plus, i'm the only one who answer so..

So, all of those are plausible? Some of them just seem outlandish...and if thats the purpose then we could really "what if" everything and get nowhere.
