heres the question: would the US come to the aid of Iceland if there is another european conflict, and it is taken by a foriegn power?

Feel free to give your opinion. no flames please :D
 
Hypethetically of course ;) Well frankly I dont see how we cant defend Iceland. I mean, If Iceland goes, so goes all them great hot springs they be having ;)
 
that and two gret big airbases, one big navy port..and the underwater listening site for one leg of the SOUOS...yeah i d say we'd miss it
 
Iceland is important because of the factors you mentioned Mark, so of course we will help..
Plus it's also very important for the fishing industry...
 
Iceland is very important. It sits in a strategic location. If it's attacked, it means the US is attacked too.
 
Yes we would. The air force base in Maine was shut down in the 90's. THat means there is alot of nothing between the US coast and Britain if Iceland wasn't there.
 
Iceland is beautiful.so yes we would come to their aid

question though, why do they call Iceland Iceland and Greenland Greenland
 
Maybe I'm wrong but I think that Iceland is entirely protected by the US military, it doesn't have any armed forces (at least that how it used to be) so an attack on Icelan would be a direct assult on the USA and when did they ever avoid a fight ;) :rambo:
 
I've deleted your posts Webs and godofthunder9010
Please stay on topic from now on..
 
Yes it would, and who and why would anyone attack Iceland.

Iceland's Armed Forces are minimal but they do exist.
 
Yes, the US as well as the rest of NATO would come to Iceland's aid! This would be an Article 5 situation and the rest of the alliance would be obliged to fight the aggressor. :rambo:
 
Iceland

Iceland is a key strategic point in the North Atlantic. Any one who has read Clancy, Red Storm Rising will see its importance. Not only is it a break pint in the Greenland/UK Gap, he who controls Iceland controls the North Atlantic by long range bombing. Any convoy would have to cross from the East Coast to the UK and France and as we see in Red Storm Rising the carnage on Merchant Men, Escorts and Carriers is abundant. Therefore the USMC would have to make an assault to retake the island, but the SBS boys would already be there doing your groundwork for you!!
