The US are still completely unassailable militarily and economically. But a few spicy memes did the trick.
still regurgitating the same tired old nationalist propaganda. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq: are these evidences of "unassailable" military might? just looking at one indicator, how is the dollar doing these days, comparatively speaking?
Unassailable as in "nobody can realistically attack them on their own territory".
Fair enough. At least, nobody seems willing to try.
Geography alone makes an invasion of the US mainland practically impossible. No army in the world has the means to even try. I mean the Canadians and Mexicans could, but that's a bit of a stretch.
Incorrect. The U.S. Army has the means to try.
That would be tough because many or most people living close to the borders tend to see the people on the immediate other side of the border as friends, relations, allies.
