Actual answer: Somehow build a navy stronger and more advanced than the US's, and use it to dominate both oceans. An invasion of the CONUS would still be a logistical nightmare, but you can from this point blockade the US and nab its overseas possessions and wait until it surrenders.

The problem is that the US Navy could probably beat every other navy in the world combined.

you cant, even if you somehow beat the us navy completely and blockaded the fuck out of them, and even assuming large portions of the rest of the world weren't no America's side you still run into insurmountable problems.

1 the US still has the ability to be self sufficient food wise, especially if they can still buy food from Canada, so they wont starve, and as teh German economy in both world wars shows, even a country with drastically less self sufficiency can still maintain massive military strength when blockaded.

2 even discounting allies, such a large portion of the world is so dependent on US trade, or benefits from it so much, it is difficult to imagine a scenario where international community abides such a blockade for long.

3 "Should hostilities once break out between Japan and the United States, it is not enough that we take Guam and the Philippines, nor even Hawaii and San Francisco. To make victory certain, we would have to march into Washington and dictate the terms of peace in the White House." -Isoroku Yamamoto
in order to force a peace you kind of have to actually hold some important parts of the mainland US, good luck with that.

4 it has a massive nuclear arsenal, even if you built a similar one to prevent them from using it offensively, they could still make huge use of it to annihilate any attempt at landing on the mainland.

Divide and conquer

Separate the weak from the herd, stroke their inferiority complexes, convince them that you have their best interests in mind, gradually introduce more extremist and separatist ways of thinking disguised as patriotism, spend lots of treasure getting them into positions of authority while waging a campaign of subversion delegitimizing its historic institutions and educated classes. The goal is getting Americans to fight themselves while investing heavily in the side promoting your interests. The best part about this strategy is that America beats itself for you, and then struts off thinking that it was the winner while the new ruling dynasty quietly pays off its obligations and lets you continue seizing various segments of its economy

It's literally impossible. You'd have to occupy a massive landmass with armed militias and insurgencies everywhere. The only option for an invasion is by sea because the U.S. is on relatively good terms with it's neighbors. A naval invasion of the U.S. is not realistic in any form, the US navy is not only the largest navy by far, but also the 2nd largest Air Force by a considerable margin. (2nd only to the US Air Force)

There's a very significant difference between casually discussing a hypothetical and actively plotting an outcome.

If you were caught selling a very well-thought out hypothetical to a hostile country from a position of confidence (IE access to non-public documents) there'd be a case for treason, but casually discussing it on a Vietnamese woodcarving forum isn't gonna cut it.

/k/ once calculated a first wave based in Newfoundland of some 10 mil landing on the east coast and a second and third of 7 mil each with constant bombardment of the west coast and threat of invasion there. Also enslavement, dna mapping and relocation of some of the populace to overseas work camps to ensure cooperation of the remaining civilians.

This was of course assuming the whole world declared war on the US (USA having grown in territory to encompass all of N. America but gotten bogged down in jungle fighting in central America and contain it) and a USN that had been rendered ineffective either through attrition or some other means.

I've heard this said before but at the admitted risk of sounding like an armchair faggot; quantity has a quality of its own.

Establishing a fleet equal in number to the USN out of the worlds ships could be done easily with enough left over to to make 2 or 3 equally sized fleets with which to envelop the USN in any conflict.

There's actually a nifty future concept that could solve that little problem. Disposable UACV's that have a rocket assisted launch and are one time use. They launch from units the size of cargo containers and can momentarily give a fleet the force of a carrier at a fraction of the cost and upkeep.

Theoretically you could even make the UACV recoverable if it could land on water or simply float long enough for manual recovery.

The system would clearly have limitations and be less versatile than an actual carrier but to give a fleet immediate power projection capabilities it would do it.
>>
The best way to defeat a country is to make sure it is not self sustaining or to limit its capacity to trade. The US has pretty genetically similar agriculture. With some planning years in advance, you can breed invasive species that can wipe out farms within a decade, hindering the US economy, and weakening its army. Stir up enough unrest, and then maybe even some US citizens will support you in your invasion.

you can do that without declaring war first, you can come to America ya know as long as you're not from Syria :^)

If it was that easy to genetically engineered a virus that only kills one group of people, it would have been done by now. However, because people are pretty much exactly the same on a cellular level and America is a melting pot of hundreds of different cultures, good luck developing a virus that can somehow detect nationality even though there's nothing racial or biological about nationality.

You can't defeat the US in a conventional war. The WORLD couldn't beat the US in a conventional war if combined. Your best bet is to cause the US to fracture internally and then fight the individual nations. Messing with Texas alone is on about the same level of difficulty as messing with France.

Every state has national guard, and in the even of a breakup stuff will probably stay where it is for the most part.

Texas has NASA, weapons manufacturing, a strong national guard and a GDP similar to France. Without Federal support due to national collapse they'd rapidly emerge as the center of a new power. Fighting entirely on their own they'd be similarly difficult to defeat as France.

You'd also want to look out for California, Cascadia (which might merge with California or perhaps Canada) and the old colony states to be strong powers as well. A lot of the middle of America would be divided up and fought over, with the Appalachian mountains, major rivers and Rocky mountains serving as natural borders.

Some of the largest Indian tribes might expand beyond the reservations in the event of national collapse, like the Navajo, but it's really iffy. Few have the infrastructure in place to expand outward and manage anyone other than themselves.

>>2931756
You actually are. You've also got tons of oil even now and would be capable of projecting power quite capably. So would California for that matter.

No, because they'd nuke each other and the world would end.

Texas might be able to fight Russian armed forces over seas, repel invasions, and so on, but I don't think either could ever expect to invade the other and win. Texas has too few people and Russia doesn't have enough power projection these days. Russia is also in a shit state while Texas is currently doing great as a part of the US.

Realistically Texas wouldn't win in a real war between the two, but they'd do better the more neighboring states they absorbed. They'd probably be a pretty strong naval power and could win limited wars over influence, though. Of course they'd probably be fighting other Americans more than anyone else when it comes to wars of influence.

Submarine warfare. Destroy America's capacity to trade, and it will take at least a decade before they can build up their domestic economy enough to replace all the lost cargo. Individually the states are rather weak, it's only when united do we see the unimaginable power of these United States. So if one dares to invade the country through, say, Mexico; one would have to strike quickly, and isolate major sectors from each other. The most obvious one would be pushing from New Mexico to Colorado, so as to separate California from Texas. This wouldn't isolate them completely. But resources would have to be shipped through the Rocky mountains, great plains, and all of that devastatingly undeveloped infrastructure up north.

Missiles are also an excellent way to attack the United States. Most of the population is in crowded buildings along the coast line; just a single missile could kill thousands. Imagine the chaos that would ensue if thousands of missiles rained down upon vital infrastructure and civilian areas alike. And the United States would simply not have the ability to stop all of these missiles. It would be a genuine disaster.

As an American I can attest to our great perseverance. This won't be enough to take out our great nation. The conquest of America is already a herculean task. The extended occupation of America is virtually impossible. It's too ideologically diverse/divided to submit to a new ruler. It's overflowing with guns, that will surely be put to use. And many areas can only maintain order through government oversight, a single mishandling of these areas would result in massive riots. There are so many different subgroups in America that it would take thousands of sociologists to figure out how to appease them, so they don't revolt.

Just like Greece and Rome. You can defeat our armies, and occupy our land. But culturally, we will slaughter you.

Serious answer? Invade the Arabian gulf states and Israel. The gulf states and Israel have the American economy by the balls and could start a great American depression of Biblical proportions. There are many Americans, that delude themselves into thinking their military is Invincible and has no weakpoints that could be exploited. They are wrong. The American military has one fatal weakpoint. It's how goddamn EXPENSIVE the American military is to maintain. The Iraq and Afghanistan wars on their own have cost America more than 5 Trillion dollars. Every Empire no matter how formerly great, has ended. Lets not fool ourselves into thinking America will be any different.

There really isn't, unless the US somehow loses all of its carrier groups and its air force, which is extremely unlikely, considering how each CBG is the equivalent of a national navy for everyone else.

Modern tech and education methods pairing up with the upswing of industrial technology and the fact that we are the size of an entire continent. A continent which had natives that conveniently died out for the most part so there was a minimum of conflict taking it. That conflict led to us becoming a militaristic culture, however, having fought basically every few decades since we first came into existence fighting in the 1700's.

We were direct successors of the greatest empire of the world at the time, with all their same knowledge and processes that frankly still worked. We then decided to import two of every kind of human and used them to expand that knowledge base we started with.

We caught up to European military power with 100 years and exceeded it because of our technological advantages in the Spanish American war and our superior logistical might in the two world wars. Again, we are a continent. We have a continent's resources.

Because we have a low population relative to our size and high education we train elite soldiers and use top tier war machines to compensate, backed with inexhaustible industrial might and economic power because, oh yeah, we inherited a lot of trade skill from Europe and got even better at it because of our education.

Our model of government was the top of the line the 1700's could make. Shame it's starting to show its age now.

America's ability to produce it's own Oil doesn't matter because the Gulf states could literally Raise the price of Oil simply by pulling out of the market. and Expensive Oil is basically like no Oil at all. They have done this in the 1973 Arab Oil embargo. They could do it again.

Idk how useful CEOs are anyways. They certainly aren't without value, but i think its a replaceable position.

It's just not possible buddy. Places like Europe have higher GDPs per capita but they don't spend that money on soldiers, they chose welfare. They chose to reinvest that money into 'their' citizens to mixed results.

America chose to spend that money on destruction. They take billions... hundreds of billions of quality greenbacks - enough to dwarf most national budgets and certainly enough to house every 'refugee' on the planet and literally blow them up.

Every year they do this. They transmute enough money to feed every starving african (bugs atleast) into explosives that are blown up and lost forever. No other country on Earth would ever even consider doing this.

I helped come up with one of these with a few friends as a fun thought-exercise back in highschool.

0. Have a good Navy to keep most of USA's navy distracted and tied up in as many theaters of ocean battle as you can. Doesn't matter if you lose the pacific, just as long as you're able to get into the Gulf of Mexico.
1. Capture one or two small islands in the carribean to act as your base of operations.
2. Large amphibious assault on New Orleans. It's an important port.
3. From New Orleans, start sending transports full of troops up the Mississippi River and its tributaries, trying to split the country in half. Tear shit up and try to make as many cities surrender as possible. Any city with an airport if worth capturing because now you have a new place to extract and drop off troops from New Orleans. Really, be more interested in capturing airports than cities.
4. Once you're able to advance your army northward enough, send troops down the Ohio river toward Pennsylvania. Have another group go north toward Chicago, because it has a really nice airport (ignore if Americans have wised up and started wrecking their own airports before they get captured)
5. If you have Chicago, you can turn that into a new base and start tearing up the Great Lakes area and advance to Canada if desired. If not, simply continue eastward toward Washington DC. There are a few spots the rivers don't connect but by then everything is within ground distance and if you capture a nearby airport you can move some planes over there and soften things up with bombers and shit.

How the Americans can foil this: Dry up or reroute the Mississippi, disrupt the Gulf of Mexico to keep me from moving troops and supplies to New Orleans

Note: this plan only applies if nukes are not involved, otherwise whatever home-country is doing all this will probably get nuked to hell shortly after New Orleans is captured.

As a preamble to the attack, you need backdoors into intelligence satellite systems. Before you launch your physical attack, you need a cyber attack to disable spying and communication.
First you have to draw out and destroy the two nearest Carrier Groups. The way tests suggest for this is to draw them near a coastline and then use shallow water boats and land based man portable installations to "fill the air with lead" using Surface to Surface missiles.
At the same time, you need air and covert strikes on part warehouses for air force and army planes and fuel depots. Semi-bearing bridges over the Mississippi River are targets of opportunity.
>>
>>2934383
Invading from the South is just as retarded as invading from any other vantage point. You have swamps and dense forests fucking FILLED with armed civilians, and not just regular civilians but the highest concentration of veterans in the Union. Invading up the Mississippi is especially bad because you're invading through a vantage point where you can easily get hammer and anvil'd.

The US could easily, and I mean easily, divert troops from military bases located in the gulf region to quickly smash any attack up the Mississippi from both sides. Highways and railroads mean that the bulk of the US army could swarm into the region within a few days at worst, and you bet your fucking ass that the US would immediately start fortifying that river as soon as it was apparent that New Orleans was going to fall, assuming you could actually take it. By the time the city fell, the stretch of river immediately upstream would be lined on both sides with hidden artillery installation and other fortifications, and more would be moving into place every hour.

Taking New Orleans would be about as far as you could get in this scenario, and then you'd get bogged down in a siege when you've taken the low ground and the enemy can drag in a nearly limitless supply of artillery and bombers to shell the city with. If push came to shove they could end the whole thing in a day by bombing the dam holding the Mississippi and just flood the whole city out. Oh and enjoy your endless insurgency and urban warfare from a dense and highly armed population until then, unless you feel like going full extermination mode and give the US army a reason to not hold back. The second step of your plan alone is already a suicide mission.

I remember someone from a different land coming to the US and stating how amazed he was as to how warlike everyone in the US was. As a US citizen, I've never really noticed it. Is it true?

Pic related.

Nothing because this thread is about attacking the USA, not the USA attacking another nation. Also you really don't think they'd try something different after the very first landing was a spectacular failure? And which singular country would even be able to establish naval and air superiority to the degree that they could freely dig into the coast? Are you talking about the entire planet simultaneously fortifying the world's coastlines at equal measure? Your strategy doesn't even work from a defensive point of view.

Well one way is through Canada/Mexico, though this is easier said than done for logistic reasons and I doubt they would let you concentrate your forces.
Alternative would be seizing major ports and pushing from there but that is the harder solution.
USA is basically an island, surrounded by vast oceans and their navy is pretty powerful.
While most of USA is not as hostile as Russian environment is, it's still a huge space and that would complicate things. They are also pretty numerous, and population is armed.
Best way to do it would be support some separatist movements or stuff like that and using their region as a springboard.
Still, crippling their navy is the most important thing in any scenario.
Of course, you could just use nukes and what not, but that's not really an interesting discussion is it.

The perfect anti-ballistic missile tech has to be developed first and deployed in sufficient number. Otherwise you risk gettin nuke'd. A single nuke can stop the war.

Then you would need to achieve air supremacy. I believe this can only be achieved when drones get developed enough to compete with man-piloted aircraft in air to air combat.

Then it depends on the goal of the war. Are you trying to embargo? Topple the government? Total war? They all require very different things.

well in case war would break out, it would be russia and china vs europe and america, so the naval and air superiority could end either way
>>
Why do people keep using nuke argument? If WW3 ever breaks out it will be fought by conventional means. The classic infantry vs infantry, tanks vs tanks etc... You cant just nuke someone because you dont feel like sending your soldiers to die.
>>
>>2935780
Yeah, no. Russia and China combined would not be able to establish air superiority over America.

Barring nukes (in which case everybody loses) there is simply no coalition of countries that could defeat America in a war of aggression. It's not just the strength of its military, its geographical advantages are also simply too great.

naval superiority is basically also air superiority. There are currently 19 aircraft carriers currently operating in the worlf. 1 of those belongs to Russia, 2 belong to China. In comparison, 10 belong to the US, with 2 in reserve and 9 currently under construction. In total, the US has made over 200 aircraft carriers and decommissioned most of them. The US fleet dwarfs all other fleets combined, and they could shit out another dozen in a wartime scenario. Europe would actually be fairly irrelevsnt in that regard, the US carries most of the naval and air weight of NATO. China and Russia have large standing armies but their airforce and naval forces are completely outmatched in both quality and quantity.

Do you think all those fat obese lardasses who survive on mcdonald's meals are going to engage in a long drawn out guerilla war?

>one carrier
>isn't even operational
>has a fucking RAMP

>>2925058
Yeah but almost none of the population is armed to actually resist if a foreign power lands there.

Use hard core drugs on the people. They couldn't win agents those or just use some Vietnamese local farmers, they can do the job as well.

And then you get nuked into oblivion yourself

This would work, but then you'd literally just become king of the ashes.

I read about something like the 'Indian-Cowboy' attitude that pretty much differentiates America from other Western culture. Forgot the details, though. Maybe such attitude evolved into something new in recent times.

They could also flood New Orleans if needed. You could scuttle a whole fucking city.

When it comes to USA, I could only speak from a point of how can USA defend itself, as opposed to how to defeat them!

However I doubt that it would be something they have not considered previously!
>>
>>2932442
It's worth pointing out that a majority of the US military budget is spent on health care and education.

Still, 10/10

>>2934180
The amount of time and resources it would take to actually CATCH up to and surpass the US would would take too long, especially if the US went all "Arsenal of Democracy" like it did in WW2
>>
>>2936269
Do you think the obese lard asses would be fighting? All it takes is like 3 months of rations and they are a fit, well armed guerilla force.

Doesnt America have that rocket shield or whatever the hell.

Canada's military is not shit despite memes. Its operation standards are on par with the US, UK, France, Australia, etc...

>>2935780
Neither the Russians or Chinese have true blue water navies unlike the Americans, Canadians, Brits, French, etc...
