    I was doing some idle musing on this, and I have come
    to
    the conclusion that, barring significant advances in
    technology, the kind of military it would take to
    defeat
    a determined US invasion, would require the kind of
    industrial support, and thus the kind of country, that
    the US would tend not to invade in the first place.
    (Or, at least, which would be very low on the list of
    countries to invade.)
