The rest of the world still have cards that they can played. Why we may not be able to match them on military power, america would not last long with out oil. And america do not have nearly enough capacity to supply its own oil. And so if we do go to war we can just simpley cut of the oil suplies to america and the price so high, that it would make $70 a barrel cheap. And that the reason almighty america are not at war with iran right now.

Since the Americans control the gate I see no problem in finding all the crude oil in the galaxy if the rest of earth shuts down trade with the USA.
Right or wrong only the USA will do something while everyone else sits around to see what happens. Stargate is just like real life. Only the Americans will stand up and protect the world from an enemy who wants to:
a. rule the world
b. destroy the world
c. force their believe on others
d. all of the above
With that said- the world needs to realize the Earth is our home. Not a division of nations, but where we all live. We need to stand together and not fight between ourselves. This is the main reason the Stargate program could never be revealed to all the people on earth.

The US could never win a war against the rest of the world no matter how many BC they have because the rest of the world have nuke's and we wouldn't target your ship we would target your people and thus putting pressue on the goverment.

all hail the thread of people who can't seem to leave their petty political issues in the real world. This is STARGATE a SCI-FI series it doesn't have to make sense it doesn't have to have anything. I don't care if the rest of the world rots(that includes and is not limited too the US) this is a place to have fun not to blow our brains out with senseless political doggeral.
and that is that...
I think that the US is doing pretty well with the Stargate but I think it should start to give out the technology for building starships after all they could still sell the materials for their construction.

Before you blame me for being a bigoted American I just want you to know that I am from The Great State of Hysteria. And its existance in the US and every other nation of the world is merely a coincidence...I also have met people from britain(as well as other nations) and found them rather like-able.

You seriously think that if the Ori were real and it became public knowledge, the United States would be the only country willing to fight? Too bad I can't kick you in real life, because I would if I could.
I'm not one to use offend people lightly, but I'm sorry, sir, you deserved it.

So the USA spends the money to run the stargate program. They use American troops to search the galaxy some of which they lost. They spend years perfecting the new ships, and the untold costs of developement. Now other nations build ships in less time and less cost and the USA did something wrong? The US should be charging everyone else a finders fee and send them a security bill.Last edited by Major Tyler; 20 March 2006, 11:28 AM.
