I wonder if China has similar plans? They could set off their prepositioned nukes just as the invasion was happening. You could cram lot of soldiers into the giant container and super tankers and who would know what was in them till they debarked at New York or Los Angeles? Also, they could come in through Mexico and Canada. How many of the Chinese students here aren't also reservists? I know it sounds crazy but crazier things have happened.

So how do you keep them supplied afterwards?

There's a lot more to an invasion than simply putting a bunch of guys on ships. Same reason an invasion of Taiwan would fail.
