re: #71 Anymouse

Such forces in a pincer movement from Canada and Mexico would meet up somewhere around my house.

The bad part of such an invasion would be all the ICBMs that would be between two putative salients. I’m guessing it would come down to “use em or lose em,” which is precisely why no sane nation would try to invade us even if they had the wherewithal to do it. (The numbers of amphibious forces that would have to come from Europe and or Asia to North America would be staggering and rather quickly detected by our military.)

“Iron Rain” aka “Rods from God”. Orbital tungsten rods, a dozen per silo. The ESA has all the ability needed.
