the article states that since the invasion would come either from mexico or from the inhospitable no-man's land of the north, building the southern wall makes a lot of sense. thanks for sharing

the logistics involved in an invasion of the americas from outside of the americas is so immense that it wouldn't happen

GINA has been really antogonistic. lets say we go to war. unless nuclear weapons are exchanged the chinese have no way of projecting force against the united states home territories, even if china takes out US satelite superiority, while the US can impose a lot on the chinese. still, america is prone to war exhaustion, and would rather just go home -- mostly for the same reason why chinese can't touch us... the chinese can't touch us so why are we even bothering

but lets say RED DAWN II happens. while very precious few of us have actual military weapons, many of us have "military style weapons" and will be able to fight light infantry with some effectiveness in a guerilla style resistance. an invasion and occupation of the united states would be the surest way for your country to lose all its manpower, go bankrupt, and have its own neighbors destroy it

Geography, military might, truculent population, etc...all these things would make a successful invasion of North American pretty much impossible. (I guess if the whole world ganged up on us and were willing to work at it for a few generations AND all the nukes went away maybe they could do it)

But if the US were to break up or there were to be massive civil un-rest and one or more major international powers were to come in and "help" one of the various factions then it becomes much more possible.

There is already ample historical precedence, such as French intervention in the American Revolution.
