Probably not try a head-on assault, for starters. Maybe something with computers. We tend to lean on them funny machines quite a bit these days.
Which would be a perfectly logical thing for him to do. In fact, I even said as much in the post you partially quoted. Of course, the movie never hints or even implies that; instead it has him line up his soldiers in ranks, in front of a whole mess of vehicles and an image of the globe. Just like, you know, the military leader/dictator of an army.
I'm not prepared to let the movie off the hook for flaws just because the audience can think of ways around them that the movie itself doesn't support. I enjoyed most of it, but that doesn't change my viewpoint on the issues I raised.
