      Canada may be considered weak but it's also one of the largest and most difficult terrain in the world with only one or possibly two major highways going across the country that are easily disabled. It would be almost impossible too try to take Canada for means of attacking the US. Also canadians records in war tend too terrify most adversaries they have alot of hunters and hold the record for the longest sniper kill.

    Correction on US gun count. We have over 400,000,000 new gun sales since we started counting and doing background checks in 1996.
    We have no clue on how many guns were made and sold prior to 96.
    Serial numbers on domestic rifles and shotgun were not required until 1986.
    Based on gun manufacturer profit records divided by average cost of their weapons at the time estimates exceed 1 Billion. Then there are home made guns, a surprisingly popular hobby, there is no way to estimate the number of these weapons. We do know that many gun buyback programs go broke quickly after boxes of $15 home made guns are turned in for $300 Walmart gift cards, which then presumably are used to hit up hardware isles and make more guns as well as getting some groceries and ammo. A beautiful example of American cobra farming.
    Also 2/3s of Republicans admit to surveyors that they own at least one gun.
    All told the US civilian population owns more guns than the combined militaries and police of the earth. Yet has only a 0.003% higher homicide rate (3 per 100,000) compared to the UK.

      @@George83_Thomas and we need more. 2/3 of conservative households admit to owning at least one gun. Many of us have basically family armories.
      It shouldn’t be surprising to those familiar with rural life. My town for example has no police except the odd statey rolling through our mostly desolate highway and a county Sheriff office that seldom has more than three deputies on duty (and one is on the radio) covering about a thousand square miles. If you call 911 you can expect 45 minutes to an hour response time. If someone meaning harm pulls off the highway or if a bear, moose, cougar of wolf pack is threatening us or livestock we are on our own and since the days of the pioneer and lone fur trapper we have preferred this self sufficient life style and been armed to the teeth with every kind of weapon available to meet any threat.
      When you drive through a small rural town you see people watching your unfamiliar car because we all watch out for ourselves and each other.
      The result is some of the safest areas on the map. My town for example has had two homicides in the last 120 years, both killers were stopped with armed townsfolk. One of these was a early 1900’s fight over a woman that was ended with a .45 bullet from the woman’s brother, the other was about five years ago when a crazy drug addled out of towner veered off the road into a random home and attacked the homeowner which was stopped by the homeowners wife with a “bear gun.”
      This armament makes small towns safe, quiet, and very polite.

    The thing about invading the mainland US is this:
    Not only is our road system DESIGNED with rapid mass military deployment to ANY godforsaken corner of our continent in mind.
    But there are about 333,000,000 people in the US. Possibly above 400,000,000.
    And about 32% of our country... AT LEAST... is a registered or unregistered firearm owner.
    This means that there are 106 MILLION PLUS armed people in our country.
    If even TEN PERCENT of that chose to resist the invasion as militia because only that many were more than just bluster.
    That would be 10,000,000 militia members.
    Ten. Million.
    TEN MILLION.
    IF JUST 3.2 PERCENT OF THE US CITIZENRY FOUGHT BACK, the invader would be facing down FIVE TIMES THE NUMBER OF THE STANDING ARMY OF CHINA.
    In just CIVILIAN MILITIA ALONE... That is not even LOOKING at the military forces and equipment that would soon be deploying alongside them. 3.2 percent of the US CITIZENRY resisting results in an opposing force TEN MILLION STRONG.
    All with access to a road network allowing said numbers to move easily from one side of the country to another IN LESS THAN A WEEK.
    Invading the US is a terrible idea for THESE REASONS ALONE.

And for drone swarm, if that is actually a viable strategy, Russia would easily conquered Ukraine and China would've conquered Taiwan for now. Small drones have poor range, so you have to be able to deploy them relatively close to the frontline anyway. Plus, you literally could be spending tens of millions of an equivalent of 155 mm round a month, which is too heavy for cheap commercial drones to carry, and your chance at conquering a medium-sized country by the end of the year would still be unlikely. And no countries can produce an equivalent of 155 mm shell fast enough to sustain spending a few hundred thousands rounds a month, let alone tens of millions.

    Strange that one of the reasons for not being able to invade Afghanistan wasn't mentioned: U.S. armed the "rebels" to fight the Soviets- then were attacked by those same "rebels" when US decided to invade. That's got to be one of the top 5 stupidest military decisions of all time.

    Honorable mention about Alaska. If anyone can recall. The Aleutian Islands had some taken over by the Japanese in World War 2. Also dring World War 2, they also conquered Guam and the Philippines before they became an independent country (the Philippines). So, in general. Yes, the United States of America is a difficult country to invade, but they don't teach your everyday person in our country about this.

    There's a common misinformation about admiral Isoroku Yamamoto saying the US is impossible to invade is because "A rifle behind every blade of grass."
    While Isoroku known full well that the US isn't possible to invade and even suggested to the higher-ups that they shouldn't do it, there's no evidence he said this quote. Alongside with the popular "I fear that I may have awaken a sleeping giant." Which is from a movie.
    The closest thing he ever said was "I shall run wild for 6 months to a year, victory after victory. After that, I have no expectation of success."

I can confirm that we are stubborn enough to fight mother nature herself. That scene of an American firing a hail of bullets at a tornado is accurate. The planet itself tries to kill us.

    It's kind of interesting how Russia is kind of a graveyard of empires too - at least, kind of in the same sense as Afghanistan - but that Russia/the Soviet Union was one of the failed invaders of Afghanistan. Like a graveyard versus a graveyard type of deal. But those types of situations are interesting: where inexplicable, almost miraculous things happen over and over again in military situations to the benefit of a nation's defense and the detriment of another's invasion.
    Like with the Spanish armada trying to attack England - and John Dee advising Elizabeth I to do nothing only to have the armada destroyed in a storm (I don't know if that says more about John Dee's supernatural abilities, Queen Elizabeth's trust in him, nature or providence) or like with the Nazis never gaining a foothold in Britain despite the strong desire, superior forces, numbers, tactics, the element of relative surprise, intense bombing, etc. - as an aside, it's also interesting how Britain has basically been completely taken over repeatedly by foreign forces - the Saxons vs the Britons, Norse Vikings vs the Saxons and then the Normans vs the assimilated and unified English - but managed to mostly retain their continuity, culture, heritage, etc. with only relatively minor changes.
    But also with the Mongols repeatedly trying to invade mainland Japan and being destroyed by storms (Kamikaze/Divine Wind), major superpowers and some of the greatest conquerors in world history turned back by smaller forces like with Napoleon among others being stopped by the Russian weather and the Afghan terrain and guerilla forces holding off multiple superior forces, etc.
    I know war has been virtually non-stop in human history, so there are plenty of chances for unlikely things to happen and plenty of examples where these things _didn't_ happen - but it's just interesting how these events seemed to happen for some nations frequently enough for it to become a topic of discussion. I don't know - just some observations. History - and especially military/warfare history (which really encompass the vast majority of general history) - is very interesting to me.
