The first two. Those two joke countries and worthless tax havens need to wiped off the face of the Earth.

Uh, none of the above

I figure the "Italian invasion of San Marino" was thrown in to get a reaction from me. I like San Marino. Sure, it screws up the map a little but that's not a big deal. They have a nice little thing going on up there so while it might not look great geographically, the Italians have no reason to take it.

No it wasn't. I just put it there to include all the tiny countries in Europe.

How does America relate to any of these scenarios in any remote way whatsoever?

Are the people that live in the country free to leave if they want?  If not, then sure, invade.  But if they are free to leave (and I'm sure they are) I don't see a problem.

The people in those countries aren't the issue really. It's the tax haven status.

OK, but then why the "America should keep to itself generally." comment? It still had no relevance to the question, since it was asking about what you would support, not about American policy.

BTW Phil, I like San Marino too. It's the first Christian country ever founded against evil Roman pagan oppression.

I doubt there would be any casualties sustained in any of these invasions, so sure, why not?

Why would I support any of them?


I doubt there's a "love" there. You speak of these monarchies like they're Franco's Spain.

You Purple heart being a dope.

Did you love Saddam Hussein? Ok, if not, you must have supported the invasion of his country. Do you love Kim Jong Il? Ok, if not, you will support invading his country...

By the way, I love how you didn't include Italy invading your favorite country in this poll.

That country isn't quite the same as the others, though obviously such an invasion would not bother me.

Exactly. f anything, we need more Liechtensteins, Monacos, San Marinos, and Andorras.

Presumably at least some of them lack the financial resources necessary to leave the country, so no, they aren't.

I would only support invasion of countries with brutal dictators, and even then only if all other options fail (preferable to have an internal revolution).
