If aliens invade Earth, what will be the most difficult place they will have a hard time pacifying?

Lets assume I was in control of these proposed alien forces bent on invading this planet:
First off I would only invade this rock for slaves; if were talking about a race outside of this solar system they would be carrying all of their supplies with them and this would be the only resource worth taking.

Second I would disguise my warships as stars or planet to confuse amateur star gazers, and set up strategic geosync orbits over capitals and military bases; also in the background I would be paying off greedy politicians to herd people away from the areas I would attack.

Third I would within moments of each other quickly bomb from orbit every strategic target I had a spaceship for, and reduce lets say between a fourth and a third of the human population just to show the remainders how little their lives meant to me.

So the moral of this story is: The human race would have no chance and only those who stayed underground and completely mobile before the invasion would ever be able to live in freedom once my warships left earth, with a total of maybe a few thousand stragglers left behind, plus or minus....

I'm voting for Scotland, specifically Glasgow, the place where this Baggage Handler John Smeaton Kicked a terrorist to the floor after he had already been set on fire



They will indeed "set about yea"

It will not be America this administration has proved that America was ready for a change at the voting booth no matter what the change.

O.K. America the benefit of the doubt we have been fooled once but not twice. Second thought America would be a very difficult place to overthrow when it comes to an alien invasion. The resistance would be massive. ^Y^

If we are dealing with a relatively low tech or low intelligence race who will engage us in ground combat then I would have to say USA is going to be the toughest to take out just from all the guns they have in their possession.

Mexico has a lot of guns as well. Pretty much anyone with guns and education fuel and supplies is going to last the longest against a simple invasion.

But

Do you really think that a race of beings capable of interstellar navigation would bother engaging in ground combat?

Do you think that human fighter jets and naval ships or SAM's could even hope to touch an ET craft capable of this type of flight?

To be honest, if they wanted a fight they would just blast everything from space, crush our infrastructure from afar and wait for us to beg for mercy.

So lets be honest, We are only capable of fighting eachother at the moment, an ET invasive threat sounds quite formidable.

seriously? if the aliens desired to invade us. without ever even coming into the atmosphere, they could locate every living human above and below ground and the oceans and evaporate them in a matter of a few minutes.
just them passing over the ground at speeds in excess of 5000 miles per hour would liquefy us from the vacuum.

advanced energy and sound weapons would pop us like popcorn at distances millions of miles away.

now what they dont want us doing, is releasing any H bombs in the atmosphere, because it would mess up their vacation.

the only thing we could offer or benefit them in any way would be pleasure slaves, food, genetic material. we're not that special or interesting, and we sure have nothing in common with them and we're not very smart either.

i dont think they need to be our overlords or they would already be.

on a positive note, they might want to give us an opportunity to travel through the galaxy and teach us the weirding way.

people are being awaken , because the sleeper must awaken. they are preparing us for our destiny

Australia, by far.

We'd take 'em down to the local,
shout 'em O.P. Bundy til their oversized eyes are melting,
Take 'em swimming in a shady waterhole after removing the "beware Alligator" signs,
then set a coupla big reds on on the ones that managed to climb out again.
Any survivers we'd autopsy.

- Unless we realise first they are highly evolved spiritual beings, who are here to give guidance and share their great wisdom ...

Then we'll save a couple to keep in the shed down by the dunny as pets and feed them a steady diet of alien food,
like pizza, curry, fried rice, hershey bars and vanilla cola.

They can dump that new UN "Alien Ambassador" & give him the job.....sort 'em out!

Cheers
Maybe...maybe not

thats not you want to them at the dunny...lol

Orbital bombardment. They could gamma irradiate any part of the planet or the whole planet at will. A gamma ray burst could wipe out the earth with them never having to set foot (or what ever the use to get around out ) on the planet. We had just better hope they do not want us dead or we will be just that. In the moives the humans win in the end. Well in the real world that "moive" could end in seconds without us ever knowing it started.

Aliens would have the most difficulty attacking a mountainous, heavily forested region, because it would allow the greatest advantage to ground forces, providing (relative to other regions) good concealment and cover against bombardment from space. Also, jungle areas with their biological complexity may impede the efficacy of nano-tech weaponry. ETs' greatest advantage will be their vastly superior, machine intelligence, but I doubt any area will make much of a difference against that advantage.

Uhhh...I imagine such a species wouldn't find "resistance" at all, because their methods wouldn't allow for it.

Orbital bombardment like another person stated would take care of anything.

Look up the book THE FOOT.

Pretty cool sci fi. The aliens were a society like the elephant. Once someone was conquered the losers sweared fealty. Of course they had never met any society before so did not think beyond the first few bombardments to make the world comply. The rest I will leave to you to read.

They just used meteors they collected to bombard the planet. No big technology at all.

The book is actually titled, FOOTFALL.

Footfall is a 1985 science fiction novel written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

I would think the hardest places to pacify would be developing semi modern countries that are ruled by religious nuts. I'd like to say that the U.S. would be hard to pacify, but I think that our population has too many sallow eyed zombies already drunk off of the putrid milk of nanny state teat. Still, I think there are enough of us that would find common ground and put up a fight. I'd like to think that if contact is made, it would not be an invasion scenario.

Oh thats easy.... A'straya.

When they get to A'straya, they'll end up soaking up too much alcohol in their alien pores made of alien tissue, a gift from their alien parents who are alien.

So as I was sayin' - A'straya will save the woold (burrrrrp)

Dave
A'strayan, and proud

The elderly.

Anyone over 70 years of age doesn't take crap form anyone or anything.

Obviously the sea.

Mobility - yesterday they were there, I swear!,
Vast - 75% of earth, need I say more ?
Invisibility - I see it on radar, wait, nope, wait its there, wait, its a whale... (the guy submerged under waves)
Indestructible - I shoot them, but the laser beam/ion bomb went through to bottom of the sea
Food - We have them cornered, they should be out of food in next 100 years.
Borderless - We will block them from USA west coast till to USA East coast

I say China. Power in numbers. Plus, there just isn't enough room in the mother ship to house that many people.

hmmm... the most difficult place.

I was gonna say South Central LA, but there are some ruff spots in Brazil and South America. I'd say, it's not about guns as much as it is about close minded individuals. Anywhere where there is almost a unified church or religion, you are going to have a hard time. People will kill each other because of what The Pope and other religious leaders have brainwashed them to believe for so long.

Haha, so they don't exist but you would know exactly what they'd do if they did? And if they attacked us?

Haha.

And we would be capable of destroying the atmospheric excursion craft - it isn't like they are protected and watched over by Jesus and his army of Angels.
