    Of course not a neighbor but needs enemies to justify its existence. If he can order that, he might as well launch a strike upon Mexico.

      Nazi Germany had a bad geographical location. Strong powers to the east and west, including the UK as unsinkable aircraft carrier and staging ground for invasion. The USA has none of these issues. It’s surrounded by big oceans and militarily weak neighbors. A naval invasion of the USA is basically impossible.

      The USA can do whatever they want in all countries in the Americas. Not even a worldwide coalition could stop that.

      The USA could invade and annex Mexico and Canada quite easily.

      The USA can also afford to intervene military across the globe, get stuck in a quagmire for years, and it doesn’t endanger their control over their own country.
