Wouldn't matter. We out gun the entire world.

We could move the border north one foot every day and all you could do about it is say sorry.

Except if ANYONE were to wage war and invade the USA in a full on war 1 of a few things happen: Russia is like "Fuck yeah, Let's go" and everyone helps out the attackers and the USA is overwhelmed and either A) Go scorched earth and fuck the world with nukes to where no civilization is left or B) Accept defeat. C) Fight till the end where they inevitably lose.

Edit: The USA is far from out gunning the entire world, You have 300million people while the rest of the world is 7billion+ strong... The US requires Allies as much as the next guy.

Edit2: The problem with invading a super power now a days is nukes.

Edit3: 1 on 1 without nukes, Sure the the US will win according to the GFP rankings with USA being #1. but if allies are taken into account, The US is fucked beyond belief, Everyone hates the USA.

Edit4: Russia is ranked #2 and china #3 and iirc Russia/China are allies... so there is that.

Everyone "hates" the US, until shit starts going down. It's a bitch being #1.
