Travis Taylor and Bob Boan have written 'An Introduction to Planetary Defence', a primer on how humanity can defend itself if little green men wielding death rays show up at our cosmic doorstep.

I like Taylor’s books. They’re usually a good romp with plenty of science.
Alien one: “Glurp gloop blee bleep tin shhwss chink chink”
Alien two “bloop slsss slnnk”
Translation:
Alien one: “I say we take off and nuke this place from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure”
Alien two: “Yeah, the only way to be sure”
The only way a mujahadeen type resistance may be effective was if the alien goal was conquest and enslavement, and they had to establish boots on the ground control. My mind goes back to the series V in the 80s. Turtledove also wrote a sci fi series postulating an alien invasion during WWII. His aliens possessed weaponry no more advanced than ours today. As did Jerry Pournell in Footfall. But if a people could travel these distances in space they would need to develop some protections against space debris. Things like shields, particle beam and directed energy devices. Heck all they'd have to do is capture small asteroids and use traction devices to thrw them at us. No way we survive that kind of attack.

*shrug* If they really wanted to kill us all they’d have to do is drop rocks on us.
Our only hope is that they’re here for the coffee and chocolate, and that we can grow enough to supply both them and us...
Dems would be cooperating and making deals to remain in some kind of power and feel important and be somebody.
Just like many French did when the NAZIs invaded.
The solution is simple. Find out if they have Democrats on their planet and undermine the invasion through their own government.
San Francisco would respond the same way they do with the illegals. They are more worried about how to pay for gang members, who get shot, than they are in getting rid of the gangs.
If you have ever played asteroid, or space command, and have the high score, put your initials on the machine, you are marked for immediate anal probing by the aliens.
NEVER, NEVER put your initials on a video game. THEY are watching.
What to do if aliens land in America in attempt to invade?
Claim multiculturalism and trade surplus and welcome them with open arms. Exempt them from taxes and adopt their language.
“Klautu Barada Necktie!”
How to prepare for alien invasion..............
Claim that it’s a “guest worker program” ???

Lucifer's Hammer, for a discussion of how humans will react to a world-wide catastrophe.
Footfall for a possible scenario of invasion by an unexpected species, and humanity's reaction to it.
Reality and imagination operate in two distinctly different universes. The periodic statment that there must be a few planets suitable for life, meaning, provincially, life like us, is meaningless. We can't even imagine what other forms of life might exist, so like the drunk who lost his car keys, we keep looking under the street light, because the light is better there.
As a final thought, speculation is entertaining, but there are lots of serious and real problems that we need to deal with. Sooner rather than later.
Extra-terrestrial life is waaay down on the list of things I worry about.
Am at the college without my copy of the list.
Can you please ping the list. If not, will get to it later tonight.
LUB,
Sounds to me like another example of the incrimental preparations of the world populace by the globalist puppet masters for the world to face von Braun’s predicted war with ET that in 1974 he said was scheduled after the scheduled wars with terrorists and Iraq.
Of course, if it looks like the aliens are going to win, you could always destroy the Earth:
