Do you think the U.S. will be invaded in the near future??
Not like terrorist attacking us
But like another countries military blowing things up, gun fire, you know like a real invasion.
I honestly think so with how big of bullies the U.S. govt is being lately and for how we attack countries for no other reason other then revenge (which isn't really a reason)
ALL opinions and comments are always welcome
And feel free to bash the U.S. lol
I don't think we have like the best Military personally
I think like as a comfort thing we THINK we do
For all we know Russia (for example) could kick our asses in an invasion
Or maybe even Pakistan's military, there are alot of smart military powers out there that I think are capable of destroying us :/
This may have been a mistake and may have not been from another country, but still. Something could have happened and I don't think many people would care. It would just go to show how clumsy and lazy the U.S. can be.
You've got a point there. But I really don't believe that the US would be attacked directly. Of course, there's a first time for everything, but I seriously doubt it. We may not have the greatest military power, but we've got more money. And money means more than forces in war.

Internal corruption would be the root cause in any case, the typical american has a very look down the nose attitude which will get the nation in trouble soon enough
You know what's kind of sad is we have a bunch of teenagers to young adults here talking about how stupid Bush and the government are and in reality you all probably have NO FREAKING CLUE what's going on in the government. You may think you do but in the end there's so much junk being thrown out by a media that hardly knows the details themselves. And also, you all bash Bush for not being PERFECT and you fail to see he is another human being and will make mistakes and you all couldn't even do half as good of a job as him anyways.
I don't claim to know more than all of you about the government but I think you are all repeating what you've been told by the media and other people and don't really get as much as you think you do. I guess personally I just find political debates to be a waste of time. Since we all aren't going to actually do anything about it and are just talking about the failings of other people.
And in answer to your original question, I suppose someday the US will fall since all great nations do eventually. Although I don't think it will be in my lifetime or even my great great great great grandchildren's lifetime.
And I'm sorry if I offended you all but I really needed to let that out.
i must agree with 007 to a point. it does, in fact, sound to me like many people (and no i'm not just referring to the people who have posted in this thread) have become skilled at the art of regurgitation. the media is often horribly wrong about pretty much everything, not just politics. to quote them or even rehash their statements is often a rather unwise choice. i will admit that there ARE some pundits and figures who do get things right fairly often, but i have yet to see one that is always right all the time. period.
that being said, i also have to acknowledge the fact that the current state of affairs is certainly nothing to brag about. public support for the current government is quite low these days and that's why i believe that a democrat will more than likely win the next election. so there are certainly two sides to this debate.
to answer the OP, there is no way that we would ever be invaded. this isn't me being naive, it's just me being realistic. there is no other country out there that could ever hope to invade us by means of ground/air forces. yes, other countries have formidable armies, but most if not all of them are in some way allied with us. could another SURPRISE attack happen? possibly. but to think that an all-out war could ever be waged on our soil is ludicrous. our defenses are backed by an unfathomable amount of money and, as such, prevent others from launching a large-scale attack against us.
however, as many of you have said, a nuclear strike is always on the minds of those in charge of worrying about such things. once again, countless dollars are spent on systems aimed at preventing such an attack. IF we were to be attacked, i feel that this would probably be the means used. ground forces will never set foot on American soil, plain and simple.
No way. America's too powerful, and any country who attacks it is instantly antagonizing half the world. Japan, Canada, England, China, etc are all America's allies and no matter how much a few of the citizens hate america, the government is going to do the wise thing and ally with the US.
Do you think....
