If anyone ever tries to invade the United States, they'll be in for a world of hurt. You need to 1, defeat the finest military to ever exist. You need to 2, deal with the fact that you're occupying a country of well over 70 million irate gun owners, and finally 3, understand that we've got fucking subs roaming the seas with nukes on them.
In short, to those who want to invade America, suck it. Indeed, they can suck it hard and sexily, just the way their mother does.

Well, I'd assume the state (or coalition) would probably be comparable in military might before it ventured such an attack.
Hegemonic War Theory deals with such an event. Hegemony cannot be sustained as it is expensive and detoriates over time. Eventually another state will rise, creating a bipolar system and then the hegemonic power will lash out in order to maintain its declining status. It's happened with every empire in history (their decline that is), and it will happen with the US. It's already happening. The only problem is, the US has nukes and will most likely justify their use, perhaps destroying the world in the process.
