If you approach main land USA for invasion via sea, you will not only find US military in front of you, but you will also find them behind you coming from all over the world. Thanx to their massive Navy.

If the US naval power is still intact.

Imagine if US get all out military conflict with China in western pacific, they will put most of her military asset (Air Force) in Guam, Okinawa, South Korea, and most navy asset in western pacific. Those military asset including GPS and other US satellite will be destroyed by China during the conflict, and vice versa most China military asset destroyed by US. Soon after that Russia can project her military to US soil through north pole by sea and air without a lot of trouble.

Even if all the nations combined their firepower it would still not stand any chance against the USA. A single Ohio class submarine is enough to annihilate a single continent.

But that will also end USA so not possible.

You’ll also have to deal with NATO and Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. It’s not as easy as it seems as they’ve created a network of allies and over the last Cold War which will still hold.

US will always have massive second-strike capability. Nuff said..

And you think Russia and other will not have that capability in OP said scenario?? USA will be finished if OP said scenario become nuclear, USN will be the first to go.

Fret not because, historically it's US regime that invades other nations under some quasi false pretext

Combined with Covid-19, could

They dont need to conquer all US region, just strategic area such as US government area, command and military base.

Taking out strategically important states will cut down US like UK after WW-2, also their USAF, USN have to be destroyed to level they can not be rebuilt again to its glorious time.

If you approach main land USA for invasion via sea, you will not only find US military in front of you, but you will also find them behind you coming from all over the world. Thanx to their massive Navy.

Wars are not fought like you said, any world war against USA will start in space, then sea and boots on mainland USA will be last step after destroying USAF, USN and US marines, while hitting US army hard too specially on mainland USA from air.

Hey you never know. Virus spreading, causing the U.S. to be diverted its attention to elsewhere. EMPs or cyber attacks. These are something not mentioned in the video from the op. Shipping containers that can be disguised to carry troops and vehicles or helos. Ships with containers carrying cruise missiles in disguise to preemptive strike to knock out command and control. Naval bases and airbases knocked out.

Anyone who has played Fallout New Vegas will know that there is 1 only country in the world that can logistically n realistically land a huge, substantial invasion force onto the United States homeland.

The US is an impenetrable fortress, that was its geographical blessing that allowed it to keep growing and become a superpower.

It has a weakness.

Hint: its northwest

no idea. Only time US would be invaded is in a video game and that’s about it lol

If its fallout new Vegas, its akin a stimulation.

I find it realistic

https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/China

The Chinese can hug the northwest pacific coast from staging grounds in Northeast china for both men n material, embarking from ports in north Korea(which would probably be on china's side)on the Japan sea- n sail across cross the Bering strait into Alaska- if the American navy r still that formidable to render the open Pacific waters a high risk for transporting Chinese manpower n equipment.

From there, the invasion force will then sweep through down the North American pacific coast into Washington state n the rest of the US Heartland.

Whether or not china wins is another story- I'm saying China is the only country today, that is capable of accomplishing this feat by invading the US homeland. Russia lacks the funds, logistics n equipment to do these.
