Ah, well, nothing like blasting a mag into an alien for going out with a bang. Whether it affects them in the least, I still wanna say " Say hello to my leetle friend!" at the top of my lungs and give one a full magazine!

Ah heck, who am I kidding? All we have to do is sneeze at them, and they will die en masse due to lack of immunity....

And Happy? Take those damn pills and go get dinner in town. It's been too long, man!

If aliens reached our planet it would mean they are light years ahead in technology with relation to travel. Other than what is depicted in movies, until that day comes no one knows what their purpose would be, nor if they have any ability to fight.

You can't say for sure. They might be the dumbasses kicked off their own planet.

To quote the one physicist "It would be like Godzilla vs. the Easter Bunny".

But, but, but..... the Easter Bunny believes in Jesus!!!

Interplanetary war

This is like the weird side of You Tube.

Are you suggesting that we take up arms against our own government? Because that is called something else entirely - and that is who is up there, flying around in that expensive craft. I also do not believe that we will see citizen disarmament in our lifetimes. Upcoming generations will be more amenable to the idea. Why fight the tide? Even the government has to choose its battles.
No, I am not suggesting that. People have been imprisoned or executed without trial for even predicting it. Twenty years ago it would have caused a person no problem, but this is not twenty years ago.

Some of the movements by saucers would be fatal to a human pilot. Additionally, if the technology is so advanced how would humans be almost immediately be able to replicate it. How long would it take the greatest scientists and inventors of the Age of Reason to develop anything from a modern automobile dropped into their midst? How long to even understand what a computer is? I don't mean a modern computer but one from 1940 using vacuum tubes and housed in a large building.

Leonardo DaVinci conceptualized the wheellock mechanism for firearms and sketched something close to what became the wheellock a few years later, but we know that these drawings did not not describe the actual device because the drawings were incorrect in several respects. It's been suggested that DaVinci could have been a time traveler, a well-read and very intelligent time traveler but not a scientist or engineer because he could conceptualize but not engineer. It has been suggested as well that he was an alien, but his art alone is full proof that his aesthetic sense is a product of Western culture.

If aliens have approached the American rulers, would they be likely to supply them with advanced weaponry any more than the Americans supply collaborators in Afghanistan? The Americans reserve advanced weaponry for themselves in their so far unsuccessful campaign to defeat the freedom fighters. Why would we expect aliens to be irrational?

Aliens may have simply announced their plans to the rulers just as Americans announce their plans to less advanced countries. Neither group would be concerned with impotent objections.

And some of you get on my case when I point out the huge number of tin foil hat loonies claiming to be preppers and survivalist!

No and I can honestly say it has never even crossed my mind. Interplanetary war? Hmmm. Like some unknown alien enemy, from the great beyond, would want to occupy our planet?
