You know. With Independence Day Resurgence coming out and me playing through XCOM and Xenonauts it kinda got me wondering. What would happen in the event of an Alien invasion in the future? How would we as humans take that we're not alone in the universe? How would we react to a sudden invasion from a small fleet of invasion parked outside Earth's orbit? Do any of you have an idea or a scenario? My scenario would be we'd be very likely under the U.N doctrine unite as an entire species to protect ourselves from the invaders. Of course you'd have idiots like ISIS who'd still want to fight a war with the Western world. But they'd likely all be dead from two factors. The U.N and the aliens. It'd be a bit of a rough alliance, more similar to a Confederacy. But it'd hold together strong enough to fight the aliens and turn every continent on the planet into a major strategic stronghold. What do you think? Thoughts?

How about now? Western European governments practically stating that they "welcome their new 7th century overlords" at the expense of their native populations, and in the US having to wait to "press 10 for English" on a customer service line, you tell me.

nope, they would probably turn ISIS into an army of zombies. And our only hope would be the experimental black hole device designed by a scientist looking strangely like a 1990s actor (adrian paul?) who'd have to learn to work in team with his estranged wife who works for the CIA as assistant to the president.
