This kind of thinking, the same of Fox News and the media uses, is what support this "war on terror". All of great empires thought they would never been invaded or destroyed. Until they were. It would not be that impossible to invade USA if the country's foreign policy keep turning every country in the world into an enemy. A full war against Americans (which is not impossible to happen, as the US is doing bad even to european countries) would put US in a very fragile situation.

No, the USA would not survive a global war versus every other power. The US has enough missile subs, secret launch bases, and distributed silos to make it impossible to do a joint strike to eliminate the entire American nuclear arsenal. But very few would survive that war - most of the planet would be an irradiated uninhabitable wasteland. I would expect you would have survivors of a global nuclear war, but it would not be a pleasant world to live in. There is no situation where you could do a ground invasion and takeover of any sufficiently nuclear armed first world country where that country would not use nukes as a final measure. That is what they are for. I mean go ahead, try taking over Pakistan and see if they don't nuke you for it, for example.
- seesomesense 11y ago"All the great empires did not have weapons that could render the planet uninhabitable a hundred times over" Like Ukraine's nuclear weapons protected it from Russia ? Here is a clue. As the world situation changed, Ukraine lost its nuclear weapons. Want to bet that will NEVER happen to the USA or the successor of the USA ?
