    Who is going to invade the US? Canada? Mexico? Running a cross-ocean invasion is an enormous undertaking. Russia is already committed to Ukraine, and mostly focused on their European border anyway, there’s no way they’d shift everything east to invade across the Pacific. China could, except for all the US presence in Japan, Korea, the Philippines… Even if the US pulls out of those countries entirely, China would have more to gain by invading them, not the US.

      Oh. I wouldn’t expect a proper invasion of USA, no way. I’d expect something of a much smaller scale that has a huge aggressive response from Trump so he could stay in government.

      Probably not his intentions though. Just saw news about the Texas gerrymandering changes which makes it more likely to be the start of the path he can use to stay in government permanently
