Maybe this thread belongs here? I couldn't decide where to put it but I think it'll exercise your imagination.
Imagine there was some sort of otherworldly threat to Earth. You can imagine aliens or something similar, it doesn't matter what. This thread isn't for thoughts on extraterrestrial life. Just imagine there is a great threat to mankind. I understand there are already things that threaten our Earth, I'm simply imagining something more pressing.
Do you think if there was such a threat, countries would band together?
If not, why?
If so, how do you think this could work?
Our history has been human v human. I couldn't and wouldn't fight for any country on this planet if it meant going up against other humans. If there was some threat to the Earth other than humanly quarrels and environmental neglect, I wouldn't have to think about laying my life on the line. Then at least I would know and agree with what I would be fighting for.
If this became reality and there was some kind of Earth Force created I personally think it would be a mess. At least in the beginning. I can think of all sorts of problems that could arise. From cultural differences and language to leadership and structure. There are many things that could go wrong. Especially if it is formed quickly in the face of danger. I'd hate to see us wiped out because we were unprepared and couldn't put differences aside, so it can't hurt to think about these things now. Just in case or just for fun.
