One word. China. They are the only credible threat to U.S. soil. They are growing their blue water navy at an alarming rate, they already have more than a million men under arms and their political leadership, even in its currently "enlightened" outlook wouldn't think twice about a limited nuclear exchange. Granted, aside from small amphibious assaults and some airborne attacks, they would have to go overland and cross the bearing strait. But its possible if they really want to. |

interesting question.
For that scenario to happen we would most likely have to have several nations attacking us simultaneously. Any single nation would be utterly destroyed.
...(with the way our foreign policy is going, I wouldn't be surprised...) |

If do not change our foreign policies it very well might happen in the nearest future. The whole world is fed up with America. |

I do not think that another country would ever attack the united states but recently i have thought about America being broken up into warring factions. There is a good book out called "Are We Rome" that goes into the future of America and it talks about war within our own country i found it very interesting and it sounds like you might like it as well |

I dont know, it seems like generations are raised dumber and dumber today so who knows what America will be like in 100 years. All I have to say is Im glad Ill be dead and wont have to worry about it. |

I think a civil war is more likely. |

China could do it. China could start marching men into the sea and have enough soldiers left to walk across the bodies to travel to our soil. |

USA had a war with Mexico in the past, and I could see them having a war in the next 100 years.
So i'll say Mexico will. |

Nope, we've got nukes, we'd threaten, then force MAD at the slightest appearance of an attack. |

A lot of people think the troops are here All ready.
The borders are wide open Who is not to say that
we are not being all ready invaded. Most of the
people Who speak of this say their will not be A shot fired to defend THE USA . Due to the fact that all the invaders will be elected in to office in the
First PLACE!!!!!!!!! I mind you this is not my personal view it is those of older people I know. |

No offense but I would never think of such a thing....
still I don't mean that I think it is impossible nor would think it unthinkable. I certainly hope our presidents and generals don't think "it could never happen".
a nation or a group of nations might think it possible, I can think of a few candidates but would rather not mention them by name in case they might read this and say "good idea"
by the way have you ever heard of movie "the mouse that roared"
its about a tiny poor country attacking USA with a little boat and bows and arrows because they realize that after the "war" they will get all kinds of 'Aid" kinda funny. |

Well out of all the nations that I know of, China is the only one that could wage war on us at home but its less likely to happen. |

Gotta have more explosions!

There was that time America invaded Canada, then the Canadian militia beat them out and the British went on an offensive.
If America were to go into another economic depression, it's not implausible that one of the other blue water navies of the world could sail across, or invade from Alaska or Mexico, then proceed to mop up a poorly budgeted US Military of the future and the assorted ineffective militias. Yeah, the British though they'd be top dog forever too. |

The way this country is going you may see the whole world at war with the US and we can't fight the world |

You're assuming the USA will exist in 100 years !!
We will be partitioned between China, Mexico, and Canada. |

Good Answer

we need to stop using oil and making russia and other countries so rich to buy arms to fight us one day, i think china is a future problem. although again we are buying everything from them and financing their military. crazy |

As another poster mentioned... A second civil war is much more likely than a large-scale invasion of the United States... |

Not unless we really manage to diss Russia...but it's unlikely. |

Doubtful ... Our citizens can bare arms, so no country is crazy enough to come in and fight us on the ground. Now dropping a bomb is a different story, but of course we would retaliate. |

Lets look at this scenario. McCain wins the presidency, and Iran continues their rant about making nuclear weapons. We invade Iran committing more of our armed forces into the Middle East. Meanwhile we are also threatening China with trade sanctions due to their human rights violations. China decides to do a preemptive strike against the west coast. (take out the military bases in California, attack quickly and then go through less densely populated areas.) Should take around five to ten days to pull our troops back home to effectively launch a counter attack. By this time it China would have a strong foothold on the west.
Don't be fooled into thinking that because we are the strongest nation in the world we are invinsible. |

It is highly unlikely that any nation will try to actually invade the contentinal US. First of all, it costs too much money and manpower. Second of all, the amount of planning and lodgistics simply would not go unnoticed. With the age of spy satellies, we can keep track of individual ten man military teams, we would probably notice that an entire army (close to 100 thousand men, plus equipment, plus transport) jockeying for position for movement and we would take notice and react.
Also, at this time in history, no nation in the world has the lodgistics, supplies or transport available currenly located throughout the world in order to try to pull this off. Years ago, there was only two nations in the world able to actually pull trained troops from their base in their respective countries, transport them, and land them in a foreign country ready to fight. Those two nations were The Soviet Union and The United States. TWO SUPERPOWERS. Now the USSR no longer exists, so that leaves the US. |

I would not call 100 years being in a near future considering the current pace at what the world evolve today. So many political movements worldwide, so many financial changes...
We hear a possible depression that could occur in the USA within 10 years, that can lead to serious changes into civil liberties, governing and democracy. Try figuring 80% people without jobs for 8 to 10 years, living in tents, maybe this is exagerated, yet very notoriousts economist are depicting this in a near future.
It is not probable that a war would be engaged from outside to the US, however, who knows, a revolution can occur in the case that civil liberties and freedoms would be lost, hence creating a revolution that could be with help from outside.
If you look at the world at today´s perspective and compare it to 1908, clearly lots of things changed since then. |

We'll never know what might happen in the future. Maybe the States will be different as it is today?
But for now, the only possibilities of a successful war on American soil is that several nation have to attack simultaneously together or the next American Civil War broke out. |

If the liberals get into office, it could happen or attempted a lot sooner than what people think. Most likely a domestic attack. Like you said, they wouldn't even make halfway across the ocean without being detected and destroyed. No chance for a pre-emptive strike. |

a full on war with the US is not something any one nation would be able to do alone. if a war that led to attacking on usa soil it would be a world war that would end up wiping out the entire world poulation since any nations that would have the resorces to do so would have nulcear weapons, now what your thinking is probably soldier killing soldiers on land type combat, that type of combat is only possible with countries with no nuclear weapons and have very little air power. the usa is feared most because they have the most advance air and naval power on the planet, land forces are also top gun so messing with the usa is not going to happen unless it some how has an overthrow of the government, also many people are saying china is a threat to the usa, this is not true china may be building up militatry power but they couldn't even keep up with Russia let alone any country allied with the usa and before china would attack the usa they would have to deal with russia since the usa and russia have stronger bonds than china and russia. now for a per-emptive strike yet again unless it was from not only above below and on the both west and east coast the usa would be able to rebel any forgien attack. so no not in the next hundred years will the usa be attacked by another country |
