Ah, now the nukes come into play. There's only one way the US will launch her nukes. That is if someone launches at us, we'll retaliate. And I believe everyone in the world knows that, so they probably won't launch against us, as that would defeat the purpose of trying to conquer America. (Notice I said launching, and not using, right now, the only people who would possibly use nukes are terrorists, and they would be planted, not launched, so we'd have no targets to hit.)

You also have to look at this in a Economic way.
The United States is a Economic Superpower(the only economic superpower)
... I know everyone will say China, Japan, and India are as well... You're wrong..
The reason that they doing so well in the Economic Depart is... The United States has supreme purchasing power over every country in the world. With a per captia GDP(Per Person Income) of 37,000$ each. That is crazy!! That basically means on average the normal everyday American makes 37,000 dollars a year.

Compare Japan($28,000), China($4,400), India($2,540)
Tell me, why would you destroy the biggest money making country in the world.. People may hate the United States. But they sure as hell love our dollar..
The United States is in a rare state with modern countries, we hold too much economic power to destroy, and in turn.... We provide that power to other countries. Yes we are a economic bully, but hey. They would be to if they were as powerful as we are.

Well Mr. RnderSafe if my history is right the japs landed and held 2 american islands from the state of Alaska. But that is just what the History Channel says. So your statement is false. Thanks for your time :m1:

Well, Mr. Goaliedude, I am so happy you've put me into my place. How silly of me. You're right, their "invasions" of the Kiska and Attu islands were very important factors in the war, and almost made the entire US collapse from fear of the "invasion." :lol:
I invaded Jamaica once. Got off the plane and just walked right onto the island.

I didn't say that they were important factors, but they did have an effect on moral of the American people. Im glad that you know about them!! You said that they didn't invade and they did. that was my point!! Thats all!!

Because not everyone cares now. As people arent to found of the war right now so people dont want to hear about it. With the events in Iraq the public is less and less happy with the military!

no sir, heres why: the russians had a surperior production rate due to their huge forced work system and an incredible number of factories, also they had an good and very large tank force, practically unlimited soldiers, and their enormous country had unlimited resources, making it so that they could mass produce rather than super quality weapons and men. and besides alaska was only 50 miles awy from them(The alueisions are part of alaska). and they have retained that ability to this day, despite the destruction of the U.S.S.R. :cowb: :firedevi:

I disagree with you on many many levels (Russia's current involvement in Chechnya, the complete distaste of her citizens for a resumption of hostilities between our nations, the lack of available resources in Russia in the enormous amounts required for such an invasion, and the near complete lack of a bluewater navy on their eastern side are among them), but I do not believe they had the ability to successfully invade even at the height of the Cold War. If they couldn't take on Afghanistan (as much due to poor morale as to poor tactics/warfighting if what I have heard is correct), how the devil could they take on America?
Now in my opinion, if they somehow got a fleet of magic Harpoon-proof transports, China would have the greatest chance of successfully invading, and even they wouldn't stand the chance of Frosty the Snowman in hell in July.
