Why bother invading? Our government will hand you the keys to the treasury and demand that the people who are already here accept you. Any resistance will be labelled as a “phobia”. Oh sure, this method takes longer than a D-Day, but it is relatively bloodless and, if you have a generation or two, guaranteed to succeed.
I dated a Serbian woman for a while. She says we’re screwed.
“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
