Attacking Far Away Countries

I was wondering if there is a any good strategy for attacking countries that are to far away to launch air attacks against, besides of course the strategy of conquering a country in between your country and the country you want to attack.

Depending on your budget there are 3 things you can do.

1. Build a strong navy and use it to conquer them
2. Ask for military acces in a country close to your target and use that as a 'jumping point'
3. Get a SHITLOAD of long range missles.

In terms of real world events, the only world power, or nation for that matter, able to engage in a war halfway around the globe would be the USA. Wars 'spensive..

I suppose one could say that the only way the US was able to invade Iraq 13 years ago was due to option #2. We already had weapons and bases set up in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, etc. That's why Iraq was really chosen to attack; whichever adversary happened to be adjacent to our occupied C3s.

But of course there is always option #3, we like our missiles. They are useful for hitting radar installations in Yemen because we like to provoke them when our destroyer is conspicuously near their coast... Option #1.

Remember, the US is "broke" we can't afford decent healthcare or fix our roads, but to quote Carlin, we'll "bomb the S*** out of your country."

I'm an American. Give me a war, and I'm a happy guy.

I'm european. Give me bread, a free education and affordable health care and I'm a happy guy.

I'd like those things to; but America is very busy delivering democracy to the rest of the world. Service with a smile!
