Conversations with Mike: Fighting terror
Rob: I wonder how the US would react to Doctor Doom in the Real World.

Mike: interesting question. they'd probably see latveria as no threat, then invade, take it over, place someone in office who eventually would turn out to be worse than Doom, then years later would retalliate against the US thus killing thousands of civillians.

Rob:I'm glad to see that you put a lot of thought into this.

Mike: just kinda came to me

Rob: I want know what T'Challa has to say about all of this.

Mike:Wakanda would not side with latveria. they're ruled by Black Panther. Regardless of Black Panther's time in the US though, I'd wager that he'd side with many other African nations, with France in a war against Iraq. And being close friends with Dr. Reed Richards, I'm sure he'd be skeptical of Latveria

Rob: I wouldn't be surprised if the US would try to orchestrate a coup in his country, so that they could acquire their vibranium. Wouldn't it be wild if Bush managed to convince Captain America to lead the coup "for the greater interests of the world"?

Mike: Ha ha ha.

Rob: I wonder how Bush would react to Namor and the Atlantians?

Mike: namor? Bush probably wouldn't recognize it as a country, without the headaches of dealing with the UN he'd just bomb them. thus killing off literally tons of sealife and contaminating the world's oceans for eons. Oh, and he'd take some of the atlanteans captive for "testing".

Rob: I think that Bush would really have to worry more about the Atlanteans more than anything else.
With their massive troops based in the seas, they're more or less protected from conventional attacks.
If they decide to make a pre-emptive strike on the United States, well... things wouldn't look good.

What about the mole man and the subterranians?

Mike: that's probably the toughest to answer of all how could a conventional attack hurt him without hurting them? HE'S the real menace especialy if he sided with atlantis. a two pronged attack no nation could defeat

Rob: That's very true.And to think that they share a common enemey, the United States and the Fantastic Four.
Mole Man has no ideological reason to go to war, however.

Mike: True enough, but that makes him a wild card. he has this POWER in his grasp and no reason to unleash it. but power... he'd find a reason to unleash it

Rob: With more oil drilling that the Bush administration is aiming for up North, it would be logical that they'd view that as a pre-emptive attack.

Mike: oooh, good point

Rob: See, if Bush wasn't in office, the US wouldn't have to worry about a possible subterranian threat.

Mike:fuckin oil-monger
