Have you been in our armed force's. If you had you may have trained with them at some point. They have a life of riley compared with most European army's.

Do you have infantry/armour figures for the Dutch army? I suggest you go research it and compare it to the US Army, even the most poorly trained soldier can still rack up kills.

Seeing the Netherlands is a NATO member, they there is the option call on their allies (such as the US  ), to help kick the invaders out.

Re: Saddam To Sue Uk
Doh, Danielf beat me to it.
I suspect the whole invading The Netherlands is more of a strongly worded bluff than anything. They are allies by NATO, so it would probably be sorted diplomatically rather than a military rescue operation, but congress have reserved the right to sanction miltary action if it ever got that far. Even so I don't think it would happen, with NATO knowing the score about the US, they would ever try and defy them. Don't forget, if it ever happens, the enemy wouldn't be The Netherlands, nor NATO. The ICC is UN based, so all UN countries would liable to stop the American rescue operation. The UN would never do that. The world knows it needs the US more than the US needs everyone else, so it would all get settled somehow.

No offense, but you're the one talking out of his behind, you're under some misguided impression that the USA is a force that can be stopped by a tiny European country, and unless you have ANYTHING at all to back up your claim (which you and I both know you don't) I suggest you move on to your next unresearched subject.

NOPE. I'm under no impression. If what you say was going to happen it would be a skirmish because the US would not risk causing trouble in the EU. They know all the other EU country's would back Holland up including the UK

Most would because they know what would happen if they got away with this. The US would have too much to loose also. Common sense really
