Lmao this bro's never even heard of France alone. To put things into perspective France has the second largest Navy on earth, second only to the USA, even bigger than Russia or China's individual naval capabilities, and them being a part of NATO allows the less mobile troops and equipment of other nations across the Atlantic. Even then, the UK has comparable capabilities over sea and air.

    I don't think even the US could invade and occupy the US. If all of NATO (including the US somehow) attempted to invade and occupy the US, it wouldn't work. The US is too big. The US military is too powerful. Sustained operations that far from home is logistically difficult.

    The entirety of the USA doesn't need to be occupied, federal leadership is concentrated in one location. Trump's too incompetent to lead the nation from elsewhere if he fled D.C. and the nation is already split 46:54 against him which would plummet if he got our ass invaded by our own allies.

    They basically could lock down New York and it would be over quickly, if the USA didn't depose Trump and surrender before then.

    I think you're overestimating how much support there would be for the invasion. I think even the Trump haters would not be in favor of a foreign military taking over.

    I'm the Trump haters in the USA

    I would not only be in favor of NATO occupying DC, I would provide support on the ground to help them accomplish it, fight alongside them if they asked me to, and I expect a large portion of the US Military might as well because we've been training and coordinating with our fellow NATO members for more than a lifetime.

    Perhaps an anonymous poll would be appreciated on this matter, but we're talking about better happier countries cooperating to end war and suffering, it's not like we're asking some foreign dictatorship like China to invade us.

    I'm also a Trump hater in the USA and I wouldn't support it. I don't think a military occupation is a good start to a bright future, even when compared to US fascism. Militarism and imposing your will through force are not suddenly better because the leader drinks wine.
