I didn't say they'd invade, although they've clearly ALREADY done that to some extent, via our Southern and Northern borders, among other things. But there are plenty of other things they could do that would distract, weaken, or even devastate the US, ranging from widespread sabotage (utilities, roads, railways, etc), terrorist attacks, and on up to a continent-wide EMP strike that would send America and much of Canada and Mexico back to the stone age for long enough to kill 90% of the population within a year due to starvation, violence, lack of medical care, etc.
A bit of commentary from the 1800s that I think all of us here will resonate with --
from Thus Spoke Zarathustra (first part, written and published in 1883). Walter Kaufmann translation. Excerpt from On the Flies of the Market Place:
Where solitude ceases the market place begins; and where the market place begins the noise of the great actors and the buzzing of the poisonous flies begins too.
In the world even the best things amount to nothing without someone to make a show of them: great men the people call these showmen.
Little do the people comprehend the great -- that is, the creating. But they have a mind for all showmen and actors of great things.
Around the inventors of new values the world revolves: invisibly it revolves. But around the actors revolve the people and fame: that is "the way of the world."
The actor has spirit but little conscience of the spirit.
Personally, I LOVE movie "spoilers" -- in fact I enjoy almost any GOOD movie better the second time, partly because I don't have to worry about what's going to happen to the characters; I already know.
But I see your point, and know that many (most?) people dislike spoilers, so at least giving a heads-up before a spoiler makes sense.
An attack (of almost any type) on the US would divert and/or destroy resources that could be used to project power halfway around the Earth to fight against a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. If we're fighting to protect the American population and infrastructure HERE, we'd have that much less to send overseas to fight the Chinese THERE.
Since long before Henry Ford came along -- machines that replaced muscle power (steam-power sledgehammers, cotton gin machines) or human skill (in the fabric or textile industry for instance).
A good overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution
Mechanization brought higher productivity per worker, and "Higher productivity" = fewer workers needed to do the same work.
The pic looks like something the "Elite" would pose for, but in the Truth Social post MTG says:

This was so much fun! 🔥
Thank you Forgiato Blow!
Can’t wait to see it come out!

Forgiato is a MAGA rapper who has been exposing Target's grooming of children. I assume that this pic, with MTG on a throne, is related to or part of a promotion by Forgiato.
The_Watcher, that's an excellent description of the toxic nature of Power.
Power over others attracts psychopaths and sociopaths almost hypnotically AND is hellishly addictive and corrupting once attained.
"That government is best, which governs not at all." ~ Henry David Thoreau, in Civil Disobedience.
Radical? Yes, in the sense of going to the heart of the matter. Forcible government is the worst way to do ANYTHING.
Not a popular opinion on this board, but true nonetheless.

Worse than I'd even imagined.
I've read Death by Government, and seen the image pages. I've read The Black Book of Communism: Crime, Terror, Repression -- and seen THOSE image pages. In both cases, the photos and descriptions are beyond anything remotely sane.
I can't say this posted excerpt (from where, by the way?) is worse, but it's every bit as bad as the worst of what I've seen and read in those two horrific books.
There's no "false equivalency" here: both fission bombs and nuclear power plants use fissionable material AND use the same natural process -- radioactive decay -- to generate heat. One is designed to create a runaway process that generates an explosion, the other moderates the process to PREVENT an explosion and instead uses the heat to boil water to spin a turbine to create electricity.
As far as relying on an appeal to authority -- so far, I don't have any reason to believe that's not what you're doing, because you've said nothing about where your opinion comes from. Did you read something on the internet and decide it had to be true? I'm relying on data from a number of sources, as I pointed out, ranging from university physics to historical accounts and more.
I could ask you the same thing.
Also: If atomic bombs aren't real, why do nuclear power plants work?
Is there any real evidence that nuclear fission isn't real? A LOT of scientific theory AND real-world data, "scientific" and otherwise, support the facts of nuclear fission and of actual, functioning atomic fission bombs.
Many of the survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings suffered (and some died) of radiation sickness, but a single ~20k bomb contains a LOT less radioactive material than a nuclear power plant.
Yes, actual atomic bombs were used on those two cities.
You are correct, Radwoody: There were no honest justifications for dropping nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, non-military targets that also had Allied POWs interned. (Of course, the Allies had already incinerated numerous cities both in Japan, including Tokyo, and in Europe, using incendiary bombs, but that's not the point).
Japan was already TRYING to surrender; the only sticking point was that they wanted to retain their Emperor in a ceremonial mode, and we said "no, you have to surrender unconditionally." Then after they surrendered, we let them KEEP their Emperor, which they still have today.
In other words, we could have ended the war EARLIER -- under the SAME TERMS, unconditional but with the ceremonial position of Emperor retained -- but we chose not to.
Japan was fully broken and could NOT have won at that point regardless, and the "500,000 Allied deaths from a necessary invasion" were fantasy.
Those two atomic bombs were dropped on civilian populations TO PROVE WE HAD THEM AND WOULD USE THEM CALLOUSLY. They cemented our status as the unbeatable bully in the schoolyard.
Thanks! I went ahead and visited https://renz-law.com/ despite the warning, to see the data, but a PDF at Catbox is better.
In another comment from over a month ago, I included a link to a study that found spike protein in the vaxxed even 12 months after the injection -- but that was as long as the study went. So, probably longer.
Possible remedies include Nattokinase, an enzyme that degrades the spike protein:
In particular, nattokinase shows great promise. From Dr. McCullough:
I have found nattokinase, the Japanese product derived from natto (a traditional Japanese food made from whole soybeans that have been fermented with Bacillus subtilis var. natto.) to be the most compelling and scientifically supported approach to clear Spike protein out of the body via proteolytic degradation. https://dailycaller.com/2023/04/04/dr-peter-mccullough-3-things-you-need-to-know-about-treating-spike-post-covid-syndrome/
Also, ivermectin, the amino acid Taurine -- which has been getting press recently both for help with vax problems and for longevity benefits -- and the MK-7 fraction of vitamin K2, which is found in only some of the Vitamin K supplements on the market.
