We're on the verge of conflict with Russia. I think it' a bout time, don't you? Let's invade them and establish them as one last jewel in the British Empire! Then we can covertly retake America, and this time we'll enforce the tea taxes with a firm hand! Do you second my proposal?

In reference to the comment "In a conventional war they would whip our ***. " actually I have to say that the British Armed Forces have a projecton power second only to the U.S.A, so there'd be no *** whipping for us :). Altho this does muddy Objective number 2, but as yanks are idiotic half-people I'm sure we'll confuse them and win. Don't worry chaps, we're British and God made us Mighty

A war with Russia, if nuclear weapons were left out the equation would be quite bloody, but would ultimately end in our victory if they invaded us.
To get to us they'd have to get the permission of France/Germany to attack us as they lack the power projection capabilities a naval assault would require, whilst unloading their troops onto our beaches they would have practically no aircover, making them sitting ducks for our fighter bombers and Apaches. You also have to take into account a few other factors. Whilst Russia has weight of numbers, the training the UK army/RAF recieve is second to none. A standard British trooper is more than capable of taking on a member of special forces from many other countries and coming out on top.
Secondly, land power. Our tanks, whilst fewer in number have fire control capabilities enabling them to hit a moving target the size of a football from 5 miles in the dark. The Challenger 2 is also one of the fastest and well armoured tanks on the planet, the only known weapons platform able to penetrate a Challenger 2's frontal Glacis Plate is another Challenger 2.
Our airforce, Russia's most advanced air vehicle is the Mig-29, whilst good it is vastly outclassed by the Tornado and Eurofighter. Also, it would have to carry less armament and have it replaced with fuel. In contrast British fighters could carry max loudouts and land quite easily to rearm, allowing them to loiter around the return routes after the Migs have finished doing whatever it is they are doing.
Lastly, the flat plains of the Russian Steppes would see their tanks turned to molten slag before they could even see ours.
Russia, bring em on!

Britain is a spent force both interms of military or finance.It is only another state of USA.Blair cannot do anything without the approval of Bush.Russia is still relatively fine economically and independant.Britain on on its own will not be able to fight Russia or any other country.Taking over Russia and they USA is an impossible dream.Britain has lost its colonies,you have to get reconciled to the fact that there is no"British Empire"as such now.The best thing Britain has to do is develop its technology,expand industry and obtain a sizeable portion of international trade.At the present rate of out sourcing,unemployment,Britain is on the way to poverty.It is high time for the British to re estabish its industial empire.Man power in Britain is fine,people are intelligent and capable.Only political wisdom and leadership is lacking.

The only way the Russkies or US would beat the UK is with mass numbers. UK would loose a war a attrition with either.

Um..., clan destine operations such as the British Empire covertly taking over the U.S.A., may run smoother if you don't advertise them to us here in the states.
On the other hand, it did work on Canada. They still think they're an independent country.

I second your proposal only on the advice of my astrologist that advises me daily in all things business related.
She dissected an apple and the core showed her the true way.
She also tells me that we must plan for the re-taking of not only India and Pakistan but that the Chinese 'Boxers' need help.

In a conventional war they would whip our ***. In a nukie it might be a tie which would be a super loss to both sides.

Why on earth would you ever advocate war with anyone!.
WAR is bad! and is best no entered into without just cause.
The stupid war in Iraq is proof enough on what can happen when fools walk in for bogus reasons.

Heeyyyyyyyy that's my home country!!!!!!
Did you know the reason why America wants to negotiate with Russia? Because they are POWERFUL.
They have so many weapons. If we both fight, it's world war 3!!!! And there would be so much massacre in this world!!
First think about what you talk about...
