If we have no military and hardware in USA what do we defend US soil with?
An armed populace with about 300 million rifles and plenty of ammo.
There is only one question - will Russia interrupt these deliveries of weapons to the Ukrainian army of NATO, or not. The future of Russia and the future of the whole world depends on the answer to this question.
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov called the possible delivery of Abrams tanks to Kyiv a blatant provocation against the Russian Federation. If the United States decides to supply tanks, then justifying such a step with arguments about “defensive weapons” will definitely not work.
“No one should have any illusions about who is the real aggressor in the current conflict,” Antonov said. https://t.me/smotri_z/10465
🗣’They don’t represent an offensive threat to Russia,’ said John Kirby, White House National Security Council Spokesperson, on the Abrams battle tanks delivery to Ukraine. On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden announced that Washington would be sending 31 of its M-1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.
Former Trump adviser, US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor on the use of Abrams M1 tanks in Ukraine: We have known for 30 years that a gas turbine engine is a disaster. As well as for reasons of fuel consumption, and because of the ingress of any dirt into it. This is an engine designed for jet aircraft at 15,000 feet, not for use on the ground. And this is an engine that should send the tank toward the enemy at a speed of 50-60 kilometers per hour, but the tank does not need to go at that speed. The Abrams M1 has a lot of problems and people don’t want to see it used for fear of being confused by its performance. Not a gun, not a crew, but a tank as a whole.
Both the Europeans nor we do not have enough capacity to wage a major conflict. We just don’t have it! The Russians have it. Their factories operate 24 hours a day. And contrary to popular belief, they never run out of anything, they have more than they need. So it’s all very dangerous.

You sure Biden thinks that US soil is worth defending? Ask the Border Guards’ opinion in TX.
It’s World Soil now.
The US Army has 20 divisions in its regular establishment, half of which is National Guard. These days nearly all of this force is at home.
I am speaking here of combat maneuver units, not including supporting arms, which are usually assigned proportionally.
There is about one division-equivalent in Europe right now, and a brigade (1/3 of a division) in South Korea.
There are a disproportionate number of supporting arms (artillery, helicopters, etc.) and service personnel in South Korea however. There are also support and logistics units in other countries, like Japan.
So, out of the whole establishment of the combat units of the US Army, @ 92% are in the US.
As for equipment, there is a considerable amount prepositioned in various places abroad. What and where is not disclosed AFAIK. Much of it is in Europe (Germany, and Poland, probably) South Korea, and the Middle East or Diego Garcia, probably.
Whats been sent to Ukraine or is likely to be is a tiny proportion of US equipment holdings. Much more is on its way to Poland, proportionately - as a proxy for total arms transfers, 350 out of the 6000+ M1 Abrams tanks as of 2022 are in or on their way to Polish service.
Compare to the Cold War days.
Advice - do not be fooled by the buzz. Look for the details on your own.

The US military has no role in defending US soil. The US military’s role is solely to engage in foreign adventure on foreign soil.
Defending the US soil is the role of the Department of Homeland Security.
Dirty Little secret about so-called Defense? Nobody is coming to America to invade us militarily. The invasion we get is across the open border, in Chinese and Saudi‘s and Europeans practicing elite capture in DC with bribery of one kind or another. No military force is on its way to invade us.
You misread - there is no exportable M1A1 tanks in US inventory. To go to another country they have to either be made new or come from some other partner country using them. For instance, Poland could donate some of its M1A2Ms as the first ones are set to arrive by the end of the year.
US M1s have classified armor since the mid 80s. They cannot be exported, but they all could be used to defend the country (or take out the Mexican Cartels).
I think the point is that we be conquered.
