Just nuke them. Easy and cheap.
Well yea, but we shoot back.
Not if they nuke: DC, New York and LA you won't.

No Pentagon/Mr. President, no Wall Street and no Holywood!
I don't understand why that would be a bad thing.
First: USA would be without a army or be able to pull a military response in some time. Second all the world economy would go down. Third and best part...No more Michael Bay movies.
You think the US citizens would wait for the army? Really? We got a bunch of guns, we got a bunch of bullets and, now, we have a bunch of targets. What more needs to be said?

The economy wouldn't be too big of a hurdle to get over for us. I mean, long term it would suck, but with the monetary policy of the current and former administration have more or less destroyed the economy anyway. A nuke would just be a fitting end.
The economy right now is not bad. Did you read the story of the great depression? This is nowhere close.

Also think clearly. No Michael Bay. WHos going to make a movie about it years later? NO ONE!! Can you live with that? I don't think so.
The economy, at least in America, has not seen the next shoe drop. We still have to deal with the Commercial Realestate bubble, not to mention the fact that unemployment numbers are higher than anyone in Washington would have even considered would happen. They said we'd hit 8% unemployment if we didn't pass the stimulus. We passed it, and now the numbers are around 9%. We still have a lot to go through.

I'm not sure the people fighting the war will really care if anyone will be around to film the victory or not.

War? Haha. What War? We would just Nuke you again. And again. And Again. Till no building is left standing. Then we leave you with nuclear radiation to sumther you, till you all Super Mutants and start killing the rest.

Ahhh...Evil plans.

I believe it could.
War of 1812.

It WAS invaded.
I was going to say it has happened before. <.<

There is nothing to debate here.
Yes I believe that invading America would be very difficult too.

The question is why would anyone want to or even consider it a possibility?

You could invade the more coastal areas but places like denver would become strongholds.
Not necessarily. The coastal regions have the densest population, so they would probably face the largest amount of resistance on the coasts.
true, but nowadays if a small armarda of warships managed too get past the US Navy, they could quite easily soften up targets in the coast. you dont have those liberty's in central regions.
Only to a certain extent. Nowadays the "coastal" regions extend several hundred miles inward, as does their population density. For example the western most areas of New York are well out of range of a traditional naval bombardment, and it is still as heavily populated as the majority of the east coast.

You realize that with our Super Mutant powers we'll just become even stronger and destroy you with them, right?

Seriously, though, I think it can happen. It would require Russia and China to attack together, and pincer the US. Russia taking the east coast, China taking the west. I have faith that they could do it. They'd lose an awful lot of people in the process, though, and can't imagine why they'd bother.

Could America be invaded... eventually ? Yes.
Could the United States be invaded today or in 20 years ? No.

The problem isn't the geography of the land, the amount of resistance put up by the soldiers, it's simple numbers. How could any armed forces get close enough to even strike the United States with anything that isn't an intercontinental ballistic missile ? (not counting Mexico and Canada)
Well, it's impossible because the United States have something that is called the US Navy, and which is the largest fleet in the World, by far. And the best fleet in the world in case you were wondering.
And except if the US Navy was lead by a bunch of idiots, there is no way they would let an ennemy fleet get close enough to the US coast to invade or even strike it.

Even an invasion in Alaska would be easely repelled with the amount of forces stationned there and the possibility of sending an carrier group within a few weeks.

The scenario in World in Conflict is nice to see but could not happen. Even if soviet forces were hidden in civilian boats, the US Air Force would quickly take care of both the troups and the boats, while the US Navy would make sure that no additionnal forces could approach the coast. Because in that case, the US forces would still have a huge air and naval superiority that would enable them to take care easely of any ground forces.

As long as the US Air Force still has bases all over the country, and as long as the US Navy still rules the see, an invasion of the United States is impossible.

By the way, in case you were concerned by my over-confidence in the United States military, I'm french.

In France, we have another strategy in the case of a real invasion of the territory (besides taking care of it with our forces stationned in the country) : The use of a nuclear weapon on the attacker. :D

Yeah, unfortunately our options consist of Idiot A and Idiot B. Then there is always Idiot C with all 200 of his followers.

They can't deflect a surprise attack (But they would detect it and have something between 15 and 30 minutes to evacuate the most important people), but I wouldn't like to be the attacker because of the massive retailiation that would follow.

Anyone attacking the United States with Nuclear weapons would suffer complete annihilation within the same day.

Dude this is no longer the XX Century. None of those countries will bother to take actual land. They will just reduce a country to ashes. Like I said. Its easier and cheaper to just nuke/missile barrage.

Why would they waste billions and billions of cash in transporting troops and then try to mantain a country that size. And the Super Mutants wouldn't cross the sea.

This.

Also, we could be invaded, just not necessarily successfully. Though China might have a shot.

First, this isn't about nuking and moving on with your life. This is about invasion.

Second, anyone that decides to nuke America is going to wind up with a face full of split atom at the same time we're getting ours. We have ways of knowing who's nuking us and ways of nuking them back just as fast. It's called "Mutually Assured Destruction."

You don't know that. They are Super Mutants after all.
Exactly. They Super Mutants. They Super Stupid.
Which could be the exact reason that they all mindlessly run into the ocean and just keep swimming until they hit another land mass. (I'm done now)

It shoots undetected nukes from its gatling gun. No one would know where it they would come from.
