What would happen if the United States was suddenly invaded by another country?

Yes, even with all of the soldiers deployed to other hot spots, we have plenty of troops here in the US that would be able to effectively defend this country against almost any invading force.  I say almost because if China ever decided to invade, we'd be screwed.

No, we won't attack either of them.  We'd win a war against either country, but it would degenerate into a hell of a mess after that.  Kind of like what we're seeing in Iraq right now.

The U.S. will not attack Iran until Iran uses military force on another country.  The U.S. will, however, impose economic sanctions preventing Iran's economy from emerging from the recession it finds itself in.  As to the second part of your question, yes, a U.S. invasion of Iran will inflict many casualties on the U.S. forces.  However, if you assume that Iran could actually defeat the U.S. in an armed conflict, you are mistaken.

no, with the US here now, there is no world peace. It would be more violent though

The US/Mexico war was going to happen anyway.  There was room for only one major continental power.  The US also was sure of its Manifest Destiny Doctrine and that meant that the two nations had to duke it out.  We won and took the legitimate spoils of war in the eyes of the people of that era.  There was even some debate about annexing ALL of Mexico but it was not viable at that time.

How would you feel if some foregion nation came in and invaded and installed their puppet?

It is a possibility but the consequence would probably be third world war. I hope that it never happens.

Not likely. The U.S has made a bad thing worse. Bush is a war-monger, and as long as he's in power, war is inevitable.

2nd amendment, baby!  In the 1950s, the USSR determined that a land invasion of the US would be impossible not because of the US Army, but because of armed citizens.  If you think the insurgency in Iraq is bad, you ain't seen nothing - 300 million armed Americans - look out!\n\nOf course, the US Navy would likely reap havoc on the invading forces - the Atlantic and Pacific fleets would intercept the invading fleets and destroy many of the forces before they arrived.  They can't handle aircraft carrier battle groups, and many of their capital ships and troop ships would be sunk, with tens of thousands of foreign soldiers drowning on the high seas.\n\nMeanwhile, US forces currently in Afghanistan and Iraq turn north and invade Kazhakhstan, easily overrunning local resistance and breaking into Russian territory in the Crimean penninsula.  America takes the Caucuses, cutting off 70% of Russia's oil supply and dealing a major blow to the invading nations.  At the same time, US Navy SEALs are dispatched to take over Britian's North Sea offshore oil platorms, cutting Western Europe's oil supply.\n\nBecause the world's internet is under US control, America immediately turns off servers supporting any web sites in the invading nations, dealing a major blow to foreign communication and propeganda efforts that could have been used to their advantage.  Additionally, US military intelligence flicks a switch, cutting off all satellite communications and disabling the operation of any US-made arms and aircraft used by the invading powers.  Suddenly the US manufactured missiles on the French jets can't track their targets, rendering them and countless other weapons useless\n\nBut these are the tactical responses.  The Strategic response is much more engaging.  As we hit DEF-CON 3 and DEF-CON 2 rather quickly, the TRIAD is put into motion - land, air, and sea based nuclear weapons, baby!  US nuclear bombers are airborne and circling over Alaska, waiting for orders to strike anywhere in the world.  Nuclear missile submarines are at launch depth, and the Intercontinental Balistic Missiles are ready for launch.  America assures Russia that it will not be nuked, and proceeds to demand the immediate surrender of all other invading powers under threat of nuclear war.  Countries like UK and France have about 5 nuclear weapons capable of hitting America - but they are likely powered by US manufactured rockets and guidance systems, again rendering them useless.  These countries capitulate almost immediately.  Russia, it's invading force nearly destroyed and it's allies surrendered and beaten, must decide whether to resort to nuclear war, or to call off the attack.  Russia knows that it has nothing to gain by using nukes, so it calls off the invasion.\n\nAmerica 1, Everyone Else 0.  Don't mess with the red, white, and blue.  And do stand as we play the Star Spangled Banner at the formal surrender ceremony.  God bless America!

America rules! All countries wouldn't be jack without us. Every country in Europe would be speaking German. Australians would be speaking Japanese. Either join us or prepare to get bombed as well.

Well that depends on two scenarios.\n\nFirst is no invasion of either countries mainland. In that case, America would absolutely win due to the fact that they have more nuclear and ICBM missiles and they are technologically superior. America would suffer a lot of damage but then again, China would probably be destroyed.\n\nThe second scenario is an invasion of one mainland. then you have to look at the fact that the Chinese do have the largest army in the world though not as superior as the US Army. The US navy and Air Force would definitely triumph over any the Chinese could throw at them ( I mean the USA does have 10-12 Aircraft carriers). The Army and Marines are a different question as it would be a contest of quality vs. quantity.\n\nIn both scenarios, I believe that the USA would win though with extrememly heavy casualties. It has the foremost economy of the world and the most technologically advanced, a very skilled workforce, good communication networks and freedom of information.\n\nIt does depend largely on who declares war first because if the USA did, then no one American or anyone else would support it except Japan but if China declared war, then that would just motivate the Americans even more.

That would never happen.  The US is not known to annex lands that are not white.

The killings will continue if he is dead or not.  We invaded their country.  If another country invaded us to take out our evil president whom we do not like, do you think our country would stop fighting back from the take over and let them dictate to us on how we should run it?
