Is america invicible?

Question

my brother says america could take over the world if they wanted to is this true i believe other wise

Answer 1

to take over the world.... we would have to defeat the worlds army, navies, air forces, and marines, AT THE SAME TIME... couldn't be done. one by one..... sure, we could defeat any ONE nation as long as we weren't fighting on more than one or two fronts.

but even after defeating the worlds militaries, we would have to occupy those countries to ensure they were following our doctrine... again, the entire world at once, never. but one by one, sure. Plus after we wupped up on most nations, they would join us and in turn, help us fight the others. so it would be slow, one by one, maybe, all at once, no.

but... if we nuked everyone.... we could win (but really loose)

Answer 2

Not invincible and while capable of destroying the rest of the world or very close too it could not conquer and hold it-manpower is the problem with that.

Answer 3

America is not invincible and there is no way we could take over the world  

Answer 4

Destroy it with a couple of H-bombs but probaly not conquer it as nobody would be left

Answer 5

What does invicible?

We are bad, but why start a war that no one would win.  Also, why would we want to rule the world, thats mostly the Putins and Chavez types that dream of world conquest.

Answer 6

This questions has two sides. Are you asking could America militantly take over the world? I believe if enough of "us" joined and were trained in the military we could. AS long as in the process we didn't lose our key Allies. Wars are won on a political bases more than on a military bases.

China of course would be our biggest challenge. they are heavily populated and have a pretty good war technology. However if needed (or wanted by our Leaders of the U.S.  I am sure our expert military leaders could devise a plan to "conquer" China and the world. If your definition of conquer is take hold of a government. much like we have accomplished in Iraq. No one power has ever Forced there ideals on any body of people and held control Long.

Our principles are invincible and America would last forever if by majority we believed and lived them. Our recent (the last twenty years) greed and selfishness makes me believe that some of the worlds hatred for us is some what justified and makes me believe we are not invincible. But it's not to late for us to change.

Answer 7

Your brother is wrong. No country is capable of taking over the world, including China even if they mobilized half of their total population. Just too much land and too many natural barriers. Now, if you brother said the U.S. could destroy the world he would be correct. And he would also be correct if he said the same thing about Russia.

America is not invincible. No country is nowadays with the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Answer 8

Probably can't take over the world, but we are one of the worlds largest powers.  

Answer 9

Nothing is invincible.  

Answer 10

No.  We have a formidable military but it's nowhere near invincible.
