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.)
