I think by the time they get to us they'll be spread so thin in Venezuela, Greenland, Mexico, Cuba, etc... that they may not be able to mount enough of a force.

But who knows? It being a completely moronic idea never stopped Trump before.

    US military spending is $895,000,000,000

    Venezuela $3,920,000
    Greenland $0
    Denmark $9,780,000,000
    Mexico $16,450,000,000
    Cuba unknown
    Canada $29,070,000,000

    That's $895 billion for the US compared to $55.3 billion for all those countries combined. There is no way the US will ever been spread thin enough to prevent them from doing whatever they want.

    And the US spent much more than the Taliban. Who's in charge in Afghanistan these days?

    We're talking about invading, not controlling.

    If their dollar is worthless and the troops aren’t getting paid then it doesn’t matter how many trillions they spend on the military. Canada, the EU, China, Japan all own US debt and treasury bonds. A coordinated sell off would end Amerikkka.
