A few pop stars, some viral videos, maybe a cult leader who can do some nice tricks and we will do whatever they want us to for them.

I've read sooo many posts where ATS users gripe about how thouroughly Humans would get their butts kicked if we were to have all out warfare against ET's. Frankly I must say, I am deeply saddened and dissapointed in my fellow man, that some us us have so little faith in our own abilities to over come and to prevail in an intergalactic war. If I were to listen to half these people, ANY alien race would be able to send us into extinction.
Well wether tyhat be true or not, I for damn sure am not going down without a fight. And to the contrary, I personally beleive we ahve just a good a chance as in any war to prevail against alien invaders! This is why:
1) No matter how many UFO warships come here, there will only be a few thousands, maybe a few hundred thousand, individual alien conbatants. There are over 6 billion humans on this world,. If they killed us at a ration of 1,000 for every one of them we killed, humany would still prevail based upon sheer numbers alone.
2) The aliens will NOT "nuke" the planet or engage in any other environmental destruction on a massive scale because that would destroy the very thing they came after, a pristine cosmic jewel with near limitless biodiversity. They will not burn down the house but must take this world from the ground.
3) We should not fight the aliens on their terms, i.e. in the air. We will get swatted out of the sky. I am guessing if they have the technology to fly to our planet, then they have not engaged in a good old fashioned ground war for many thousands of years. In essence, they are rusty as hell when it comes to ground fighting tactics and I would assume they would be scared out of their wits to fight us head to head. Hence, we MUST draw them into ground combat, to fight on our own terms, just as the Afghans drew the soviets into the mountains to engage that greater force on thewir own turf and under their rules.
4) Most inportantly of all, the ALIENS ARE DEATHLY AFRAID OF US!!! This can not be understated. In virtually ALL abduction stories you hear, what happens? The aliens use some sort of beam/forcefield to incapacitate the human so that they can not move. Why you may ask? The same reason we humans tranqualize an 800 pound silverback gorilla when we abduct it from the forest. It will NOT come willingly and it WILL kill us with it's bare hands, just as any human child can kill most grey aliens with it's bare hands. Simply put, aliens have depended on technology and telepathy for so long, that their muscles have atrophied to the point where they have very minimal body strength. If I were to guess, I'd think even a 10 push ups would be more physical activity than your average ET get's in a month.
5) Indominable human spirit. We are a planet of warriors. For thet last 5,000 years there has been a war somewhere on earth every single day, non-stop. Without war, we stagnate technologically, strategically, and culturally. The ET's would be sorely mistaken to think theyn could take this world without a fight, and without every singgle human willing to die in Kamakazie fashion rather than to roll over and hand our planet over to off-world animals with fancy toys.
For these and other reasons, I beleive that we sand a very fair chance of winning any alien conflict as long as we remember who we are. We are of this world, this is our planet, and mother earth is our protector. Do not fight them in the skies, take the home field advantage and use the soil of this world as our battlefield. Draw them out, amke them come meet us in battle, and we will prevail.
We need to start building an army today of supporters who have faith in humanity and who would be willing to take up arms against aliens. As far as I know, there is no Earth defense league or organization. We need to establish this NOW before the war starts, not after combat has been initiated and were all scrambling to get our s@!# together.
Comments, suggestions, concerns??? I'd even like to hear from those of you who think we CANT win against aliens, but please explain exactly WHY you think this...Thanks!
HUMANS RULE THE GALAXY (or we will soon enough)

It depends on what the aliens are after. If they are after resources, they'll take them and leave. If they want our water, they will carve out "beachheads" and siphon it off. If they just attack heavy industrialized areas, it will cripple man's ability to produce the weapons of war we would need to fight back. If they attack high population areas, they will wipe a large portion of the human race off the map quickly. If they want our planet, my guess is that they have been watching us for a long time and know exactly how to take it from us. I doubt that and alien race would show up without first having recon'd the planet for their needs. The French would surrender immediately.

So, could our simple viruses and bacteria be the ultimate weapon against a biological entity who has never encountered them before?
Remember what the common cold did to the Native Americans? (Not to mention smallpox in wool blankets!)
