America is at no risk of being invaded. However, should it let its allies go unaided, it will loose its footholds in Europe and Asia from which it projects its power (militarily, culturally, economically, etc). Geopolitics is not so simple as to be zero sum, but when it comes to Russian and US interests, it may as well be.
- sam_goody 3y agoWas 9/11 a "invasion"? Iran has turned "Death to the Americans and Israelis" into a motto. If we stop projecting power, they will certainly attack again. Which may not justify Ukraine, but exiting world politics will just turn us into a target.

- yieldcrv 3y agoIran didn't attack us, so who is "they" we're a target because of our recent approaches of the last 70 years. there are other approaches that other superpowers have taken that have been even more beneficial for them and don't turn them into a target from anyone, or an amorphous "they" nobody is after "our way of life" as some of our leaders famously said, and if they are they already live in the US "death to America" is a reaction to American intervention, it isn't arbitrarily created because of our ... alliances or predominant religion or musings or freedoms or anything else. the same for 9/11 which can easily be seen as a double crossing by someone the US courted who became disillusioned with America. America's "national security" approach is its biggest threat to national security.
