"Are the world's combined forces enough to conquer the United States? Here the answer is no, for it is much harder to project force. It requires logistical resources that the rest of the world simply does not have.

I think the guy answering the questions was a little biased. But truthfully, I bet America would be pretty darn hard to completely conquer right now. Maybe if some countries built an ass ton of nukes, then used those. I don't really know much about that kind of stuff, but it's crazy to think about.

If America were to be nuked, America would retaliate long before the missiles reached their target, so I'm gonna go ahead and say that Mutually Assured Destruction =/= conquering anything. Let's take nukes out of this equation entirely.

yeah i think one of the most important aspects is our location-- we're so far from everyone else, but we have unparalleled projected power that no one else comes close to

America spends more on their military every year than Canada's entire federal budget

Seems like you're compensating for something

well its not



According to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey – the leading source of international public information about firearms – the U.S. has the best-armed civilian population in the world, with an estimated 270 million total guns. That’s an average of 89 firearms for every 100 residents — far ahead of Yemen, which comes in second with about 55 firearms for every 100 people, or Switzerland, which is third with 46 guns for every 100 people.


fuck you.

And to all the people trying to be patriotic by wearing their favorite American flag apparel, it's against the flag code.

270 million total guns.


Doesn't the average gun owner have something like 5 guns? So 270 million divided by 5 gives us 54 million gun owners. That's still a lot but it's also less than 20% of the population of America. Sooo there's that

not every owner has 5 though there are a lot of people who only have one gun, for example many people only keep one gun in there house solely for the purpose of home safety.

Valid point but the number of 89 guns per 100 residents or households or whatever you said is a little skewed. I think the actual average is closer to 3 guns per owner so to get to that number there must be a lot of people owning 5 to offset the people owning 1. That still puts us under 30% of the population. While America might own more guns I think Swtizerland does have the highest percentage of gun owners, or at least they were the last time I checked

Yup. I'm pretty sure Switzerland doesn't really have a (significant) military because they're supported by the militia. They're basically trained every once in a while and that's that.

We would absolutely wreck Russia or China. I'm sick of when people try to say that China could invade and conquer the U.S. NO THEY COULDN'T. We spend more than the 26 nations after us combined on the list of nations by highest military spending.
