    US military spending is $895,000,000,000

    Venezuela $3,920,000
    Greenland $0
    Denmark $9,780,000,000
    Mexico $16,450,000,000
    Cuba unknown
    Canada $29,070,000,000

    That’s $895 billion for the US compared to $55.3 billion for all those countries combined. There is no way the US will ever been spread thin enough to prevent them from doing whatever they want.

      And the US spent much more than the Taliban. Who’s in charge in Afghanistan these days?

        We’re talking about invading, not controlling.

            No, you brought up Afghanistan yourself. They’ll invade, kill a pile of people, attempt to rule for 20 years before giving up. The important thing is the years of misery and destruction before they do.

      If their dollar is worthless and the troops aren’t getting paid then it doesn’t matter how many trillions they spend on the military. Canada, the EU, China, Japan all own US debt and treasury bonds. A coordinated sell off would end Amerikkka.
