There are a lot of good reasons why foreign countries can't invade the US homeland.
First off, we have oceans on either side of us. The one and only country that has enough ships, and the right kind of ships, to transfer enough soldiers to have an actual, military fighting force in the United States itself. Even Russia and China do not have the physical capability to ship enough troops over water to have an actual, fighting force capable of fighting against a country.
Even if they used magic powers to get those troops over here, they wouldn't stand any chance of winning a war. For starters, the United States is an absolutely massive country. Just the logistics of trying to get supplies across an ocean by sea and then across a continent by land when surrounded by enemies is outright impossible. There are mountains on either side of the country which would either need to be crossed or traveled hundreds of miles to get around. There are tons of choke points in the country which are almost all located in Red states, states which the people would be more likely to fight against such invaders. That's not to mention the fact that the American people are more armed than any other group of people on the planet.
The Untied States is, geographically speaking, the most defensible nation on the planet.
Can agree with the moat defense. Biggest moats on the planet. It’s why we weren’t whittled down in WWI and WWII. Others were borrowing our money and stuff instead of the other way around.
