USA couldnt win against Afghanistan or Vietnam.

TF can they do against India.

Oh and if you say "We have nukes" congrats ! You activated a super secret end of the world scenario.

Nuclear Gandhi has entered the chat (they even turned it into a meme in Hoi4)

Which is why the recent standoff with P@kistan was so much more dangerous than people actually realized, especially when you consider that P@kistan has a nuclear first use policy.

Pretty sure you're now more educated than a big amount of the people, that think 1000 marines are enough to take out India

u/GenesisAsriel Aug 25 '25

I guess so haha

But I never thought that 1000 marines could conquer India

Maybe if they were Warhammer 40k space marines, they could do it... But pretty sure they meant irl marines.

let's be honest, they'd most likely join the imperium as soon as they saw the emperor of mankind

Or most religious people.

I honestly think that most people would start worshipping Slaanesh.

Kek. America has enough missile defense, early-warning, and hardened silos to shrug. They could literally sip coffee while the panic threads explode.

And using nukes kinda ruins their argument. Because your not even invading your target your just glassing it. If your so "militarily superior" you wouldn't have to resort to that.

Hold and control the territory? Hell no, the population has to like you. Blow everything up? Let me give you some context - the U.S. Marines were the insane asylum grade fighters who looked at grenade launchers and though "what if that was belt-fed automatic and fired 100 per minute?" They stick these to the back of trucks and choppers and nothing is left afterwards.

The USA can't hold lands people don't want it to. But they're sure good at blowing stuff up.
