I think it would more effective if, instead of trying to come up with the total amount of money needed to supply everyone for the invasion, we simply adopt a Bring Your Own Armaments rule, as I'm sure most of us are capable of getting our hands on at least some form of combat equipment to contribute. Then all we'll have to do is pool all of the gear together once we meet up, and divide it appropriately across our forces.

Would a pickaxe count as a weapon? 'Cause it's either that, or my replica gladius.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Stupid question. We all get shot.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

We focus more heavily on stealth and guerrilla tactics, rather than straight up overpowering our enemies, I would assume.

Great, we just need to find a country simultaneously suited for extended guerrilla warfare which is also politically unstable and unskilled in repulsing guerrilla strikes.

So...you're saying we need a ninja training program as well? Excellent. Get someone on that.

Anyone here a Japanese assassin from the 18-19th century or, ideally, earlier?
No? All we have are people who watch too many kung fu movies and people who post before you can, then.

EDIT: Amazingly, I wasn't ninja'd.

Great, we just need to find a country simultaneously suited for extended guerrilla warfare which is also politically unstable and unskilled in repulsing guerrilla strikes.

Or find a location within the country that:
1) is easily defensible on its own.
2) can be fortified quickly.
And hold out until our enemies give up.

Combine that with guerrilla warfare and we should do decently.  Probably should win over the population in order to gain more warriors and to consolidate our position.  Improve living conditions and the like.

Guerrilla warfare doesn't really mesh well with sieges.
They could always just bomb us or send a thousand troops and some tanks or something our way.

If we don't attack, they have no reason to give up. If we do, that makes us more vulnearable. And how do you suggest supplying the base?

Perhaps he's refering to the Syrian Rebal tactic? The one where, after you take a base or soemthing, you ransack it, take what you want and blow up the rest, and then leave. The Government can't get you then!
