Kansas City laughing in it's impenetrable fortress, which nobody can hear.
US: our geography makes us invincible China: what about balloons?
Midwesterners: Casts tornado spell at enemy
As a Texan, I think you're REALLY overstating the difficulty of the waist-high slow-moving creek that is the Rio Grande "River."
I'm in southern New Mexico. The Rio Grande river is a dry river bed most of the year. Once the yearly irrigation allotment is met, the shallow river dries up. Easy for walking and driving vehicles.
So basically we got the luckiest spawn in a game of Civ
โWe can never invade America, There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.โ - Japanese Admiral Yamamoto
100 years ago, that would've been the case, but the interstate highway network and huge rail network negate most of the internal geographic obstacles. The biggest reasons are Admiral Pacific and Admiral Atlantic - it's almost impossible to move a huge invasion force across either ocean without it being spotted and attacked.
The US doesn't have a creamy center. The majority of our population and influence is located near our borders..
Imagine just like anime, USA shouting โ CANADIAN SHIELD ๐ก๏ธ โ ๐๐๐
Any invasion in the Northeast would be immediately thwarted by sheer expense and rugged man-made barriers; you have to stop and pay tolls every 5 miles.
Pro tip: "If you invade me I will release Diddy into your country"
Yon forgot Missouri in the summer, any invaders without air conditioning instantly dissolve in the hot humid air
East coast : Washington, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, etc. West coast : Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, maybe Las Vegas Invader : "Good enough"
Except most of the population are on the coastline outside of those barriers
This is why the aliens always invaded America in the movies. Clearly, we provide the largest geographical and tactical challenge.
Invaders into Minnesota in January.... Minnesota laughs in triumph as it says, "Invaders! Taste my polar vortex!"
In the southern marshlands: โWhy do I hear banjos and a fiddle playingโ
US - Impossible to invade Mexico - Hold my border
