Pick a country, any country. Who would it freak you out the most to know you were going to war against.

Me, aside from the obvious (I would REALLY HATE to fight, say Canada. I mean, they're right next door! They know all our secrets!), would hate to try fighting Switzerland or Israel.

Israel is obvious. It's strongly suspected that they're a nuclear power, and they've carefully cultivated that crazy-little-****-who'll-kick-your-ass aura over the years. What with the universal military service, the enemies-all-around-us-out-to-kill-us paranoia, even if they'd have a hard time hitting us I'd be worried.

The Swiss might not be the notorious badasses that Israelis are, but they're hanging out in their mountains with the universal military service and a bunch of whacked-out fortresses and ****. Maybe they couldn't nuke us, but I wouldn't want to try fighting them.

So, thoughts? Let us discuss.

EDIT: Before I get assaulted by Arse, I would also hate to fight Australia and their fearsome legions of unholy beasts.

Also, up until recently they had F-111 Aardvarks, which are pretty awesome. Or a least cool-looking.

That was an incredibly fast reply, but that's hardly a reply at all. Jeeze, are you boring or something?

Help me alleviate my boredom, you bastard.

The fact I replied with one word shouldn't make you feel that I'm boring, it should make you wonder if I've something to hide.

Alrighty, I'd hate to get into a war with Vietnam, cause apparently they're good at guerilla warfare.

Liverpool - those dirty scousers would steal all my stuff before I even realised it had happened...

I'd also hate to go to war with Israel because even their police force are taught Krav Maga and I don't fancy getting Sam Fisher'd in the face, thank you very much. Also North Korea because the powers that be are ultimately nuts.

Finally I'd hate to go to war with France. Because if they won, we'd never hear the end of it.

Well, I'd hate to get into a war with the Spanish. They INVENTED guerilla warfare.

Russia, especially if my side was on the offensive. A country of that size will never be conquered.

Tell that to the Mongols. They made Russia their bitch. Of course, they weren't united at the time, but still.

I'd hate for australia to go to war against anyone except New Zealand, because we have a serious issue with the amount of land we can cover with our population. Our strategy for when Japan looked like they were going to invade us was this: Cede Queensland and hope they stopped there.

The only reason I think it'd be easy to take New Zealand is because they have such a tiny population compared to us, and a similar population densitiy.

China: Never get involved in a land war in Asia, huge population.
Russia: I am unsure of their current military might, aren't they sort of 'banned' from having a large army? But I would fear fighting Russia.
Israel: Israel has it coming, but they have some power, and many countries would join them.

That's probably not because the Russians are low-tech or anything, but the fact that the Russians have always had their own models when it comes to military hardware and both sides are reluctant to share trade secrets with each other.

Anyhow, another reason to not mess with Russian is this. I wonder if they also have a super-soldier program to go with it?
