      A friend pointed me to the following sites, it seems the remake is using armoured vehicles from a company in Michigan

        Hmmmm...I still think the idea of a Chinese/Canadian conspiracy is worth exploring

          It's Them Damn Canadians...I Tell Ya!

          Dammit, don't confuse the issue with facts! I have a highly placed,secret source that has told me that the Peoples Republic of Far Northern Canuckistan is in Cahoots( IIRC that's just outside of Saskatoon) with the Evil Pan Eurasian Red Commie Empire of Chinese Marxists. That's why they're using CANADIAN equipment. They're come swarming over the border and inflict amenties upon the helpless population. Oh the humanity... Gotta go...time for my meds.

              Humvees for the Chinese isn't so surprising as they have a licence to manufacture their own version for the military

                Then it would make sense for them to bring some along so that captured American vehicles could be cannibalized for spares.

                I still don't think the Chinese have much of a chance, once the Billy Bobs of the nation get mobilized. Provided these boys can be kept in hog snouts, fried chicken necks, and chaw, them Asian Reds don't stand a snowball's chance.

                  That is the worse thing that they could do. We wouldn't stand a chance.

                    They also could hire a legion of tort lawyers. The Chinese have the money, and that's really all that matters to the law in the end. (Did I say that out loud again)

                      Why am I reminded of a Star Trek fanfiction where a bunch of Microsoft Lawyers attack a Borg cube and Picard tells Data "Turn off the the main screen Data, I don't want to watch. Not even the Borg deserve that."

                        I have always tried to not let real-life geopolitics and logistics stand in the way of my Saturday matinee popcorn eating fun. I find I wind up enjoying far more marginally plausible movies that way.

                          Yeah, you did say that out loud, but lucky for you the rich don't care what normal dudes have to say, because our views don't matter. The more I think about this movie, the more I think I will not like it. Man I miss the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact. They were the best thing for this country. You could wake up everyday and know who to hate. A classic good vs. evil. Clash of the Titans. Now days it's such a drag.

                            The only way I can see Red China come over here like this is if they call our debts and we can't pay and we just roll over. Still, on the other hand, I cannot see that happening, I think we would throw everything at them if all other options look poor, sort of like a scorched Earth in return. Maybe that's how the old Star Trek episode, "The Omega Glory" got started. Seriously, you need to have some switches and relays just clicking correctly, at the right time and sequence for this to happen. Still I'm looking forward to it.

                            P.S. Maybe they really cannot call on our debts, we owe so much that as the old joke goes, "if Mr. Smith owes the bank $1 million, the bank owns Mr. Smith, but if Mr. Smith owes the bank $100 million then Mr. Smith really owns the bank.

                              You too, huh I have a nostalgia for the Cold War too. Atl east you know which side you were on and you had three basic sides, us, them or neutral. I'm a big fan of the cartoon, "The Tick," and if I was a superhero, my battle cry would be "I miss the 80's!" When I see shows like "Airwolf" and "Greatest American Hero," sometimes I tear goes down my eye and I think of the good, old days.

                                If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.
