Short and simple no. Russia would not want america THAT close so they would most likely get involved

I'll bring the tritium laser cutters if you bring the beer!

Funny story.

Invade and siege are two different things.

We work in the dark to serve the light.

Yeah. Our navy would tear theirs apart. Oh, wait. They barely have one.

No, the logistics would be a nightmare and they would win in a war of attrition.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Siege? Absolutely. An all-out war with China as of now would take weeks. They have a sizable military but "sizable" doesn't stack up against the American military.

Invade and hold? Yes. Would it be worth it? Probably not.

What if we put a blind fold on the leaders eyes and told them to count to 1 million and then invaded without them knowing.

Of course. Blockade the harbors, destroy coastal military bases, set up a no-fly zone to prevent supplies from coming in.

There'd be no reason to do it though.

Long story short: no, and anybody who says yes has no clue what they're talking about.

No. They have Russia, North Korea and plenty of other eastern countries on their side. Even without their assistance we could never successfully take the country unless our military got a buff of about a million people.

To those of you saying it'd be easy...go read a damn history book, Japan had a -blam!- of a time and they sent over a million men.
