I think the aliens would evaluate countries according to their power, economic capability and psychological acceptance of other races.
They'd land in China.

With the exception of the Britts and the Aussies....and the Polish....because they REALLY hatted being in the Eastern Block...the United States is always left holding the bag....and always ends up cleaning up a mess that other countries have been making for centuries or decades....and then when we actually do something.....we have to listen to everyone BITCH....as if they HAD NOOOO IDEA WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN....and now they are all APPALLED at loss of life and......and this part really PISSES ME OFF.......
They actually talk to the country that a few weeks previous....they were ready to declare war on....but now that we have done the dirty work for them....they are all....OH! How can we help you recover from what the BIG BAD U.S. HAS DONE TO YOU?
Makes me sick! Europe in general....and I have been there so I have the right to discuss what I have experienced....ALWAYS DOES WHAT'S BEST FOR EUROPE! Let's face it....until WWII and the U.S, as well as the CCCP....ended up occupying most of it for decades....if we hadn't....they would have reverted right back to another WAR!
Go to France....here is a country that was helping the NAZI's locate Jews who were in hidding just so they could get rid of them and take their property. When Poland was invaded....AND THE UNITED STATES WAS SCREAMING to European leaders that this would happen....they DID NOTHING!
I believe in any persons right to free speech but that doesn't mean I don't get pissed off listening to people spout off about things they know NOTHING ABOUT....and neither will they do anything about!
In the 80's...the U.S. under the Reagan Presidency decieded to deploy PERSHING II INTERMEDIATE NUCLEAR MISSLES in Europe to counter the massive Soviet buildup. These Missles were SUPER ACCURATE and could strike their targets....Soviet Mobile SS-20's....before they could launch.
This deployment is accredited with BREAKING THE BACK AND THE BANK OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION. The Berlin wall would not have come down if this deployment never happened...still....although I have respect for anyone who is anti-nuke....the protesters in Europe went too far.
You have to understand what kind of person leaves his home in the U.S....leaves his family.....spends all of his life in a state of secrecy and the mental wounds this cause last a lifetime....all so that he can protect people in ANOTHER COUNTRY HE DOESN'T KNOW....and get spit on and have red paint thrown on his home in the U.S. because he is high ranking and his name was public so some smart protester tracked down his family and pulled that awful crap.
Of the considerable number of Military people I know.....NONE OF THEM WANT TO GO TO WAR! And when I read some misguided post here decrying the U.S. as some Warmongering Empire.....I will tell them this.................HOW ABOUT SOLVING YOUR OWN PROBLEMS FOR A CHANGE? WHY DID THE U.S. have to go to BOSNIA or the other former YUGO states? WHY?
I'll tell you why.....because there is a shortage of BALLS in EUROPE! Split Infinity

Nothing? I think you'll find the United Kingdom and France both declared war on Germany as a result.....
