War on American soil
its international military forum for frickin sake, lol, i think its a good post, maybe a funny one even
well, we have americans chanting and discussing that america will be impossible to beat.
i just offered my vision of how possible it is
and i could be true, it could happen
look at world war 1, the french thought they had the battleship of the land, a unbeatable wall of fortress, the great wall of france!!
however, it was owned by blitzkrieg by another route through belgium
my point is impossible is possible, contridicted yes, but thats how our world is

The only thing that America can be defeated is by breaking down the military structure, depleting the budget and resources of the nation, or possibly tearing the nation apart by major uprisings at home. If an invasion was followed by after these factors, then surely the United States would fall to a very powerful country.
The notion of saying America is forever invinsible is forever wrong.
The once mighty Roman Empire strecthes across the entire western continent of Europe and reached forward towards North Africa and the Middle East. But, their ambitions have allowed them to over-extend their limit of their military power that contributed to their inability to break the Germanic front. The Roman Empire was constricted and was allowed to rot within its interior until it can no longer defend Rome from the Invading Germanic Tribes.

Of critical importance is one important fact: the future is extremely unpredictable. Something unforeseen could happen that completely changes the whole worldwide equation. Somebody in an obscure country could come up with something so revolutionary that their nations suddenly becomes a major world player. The fortunes of the world's nations rise and fall and the unexpected always seems to happen.
The only worldwide situation to base any predictions upon is the present and very near future. 100 years in the future is too great a time interval to even bother trying to predict.
In the immediate future, the United States of America is not in any great danger of invasion because
1.) nobody has the logistical basis to make that invasion happen anytime soon,
2.) the United States would have to have an enemy who has a significantly larger, better, and better equipped Navy. Completely removing or subduing the US Navy from the oceans would be the only way that an army of sufficient size and strength could be landed in North America. At that point, the army landed would have to be substantially better than the US Army in numbers, quality and equipment in order to have a decent chance of victory on American soil -- our home turf.
Its like asking if anybody thinks invading China would be a good idea. Is anybody that stupid??

I'm not sure about the comparison. First of all, during China's chaotic and corrupt period during the 1880's-1950's, the country was very vulnerable to foreign invasion. The Taiping TianGuo Rebellion have nearly put China into a point that any Western Imperial Power can conquer and occupy China, however at the risk of being attacked by militias, guerillas, and insurgents. But, considering about the massive land mass, I don't think any country can cover that up especially the western mountanous regions.
Why on the heavy emphasis on conventional armies? There are theories where low-tech enemies without that much resources can bring down major powers during unexpected times and areas. However, I certainly agree on the statement about the unexpected future.

I was amused at the post. I am not one to speculate on things 100-200 years down the road since I will be pushing up daisies. One day America will be weak and she will be attacked and brought down. The might of our military has not deterred extremists from attacking us. The war has actually raged for a few years. I think when Bin Ladin put a bounty on Americans back in 96(??) is when the war on terror started. The war was brought to American soil on 9/11. Who knows when we will get attacked again on the homefront. An economic melt down like what the USSR experienced could change things a lot. Remember, war is more likely when you are attacking a weaker force.
That is my speculation for the day

By then we will be using hydrogen fuel cells, guess where hydrogen comes from? WATER! Now, how does China empty the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Hudson Bay, Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, and all the lakes, rivers and ponds of the US and Canada? If you are gonna factor in economic breakdown you also have to factor in technological advancement along with hundreds of other factors.

We are not France, we have learned from history. And our defense is not based on an incomplete wall that is obsolete, but one of the greatest obstacles the world has ever knows, an ocean, two of them actually.

There you can read about the military history of France, now compare it to America's, they have one win, we have one loss, complete opposite.

In the future, tell a mod that a new subject needs to be created from within a thread.
As always, do not post off topic!!!!

I think the only ppl that can control the american population is america. Any occupying force would have to deal with quite a bit. I mean when middle schoolers can make pipebombs you know anybody trying to keep them down would be in for a fight. Hunters, hicks, and gangsters would be alot to deal with. There is a part of me that would like to see someone try.

Well you can get alot of guns, but LEGALLY you cannot have a fully automatic weapon without a extremely hard to get license. But....there are always other ways to "acquire" these weapons.
And america is a big country it would take a huge force to be able to control it all!
