In a shoot war, the US pulls back its fleets and global maritime trade grinds to a complete halt without the US Navy's assurance of safety. Big companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, ect are forced to pull the plug on overseas customers. The US has the natural resources to support itself; much of the resources we are importing and cannot replace yet, we have been fixing (see LAC, PPTA, UAMY. TSM's new plant, ect).
Militarily it's even worse because the only blue water navy in the world is the US' navy. Nobody else can project the kind of power needed for an invasion across open ocean. Then once you cross the Atlantic/Pacific (with ships and logistics capability you don't have), you have to fight inland. Either up from Mexico where all your stuff breaks down in the vast open deserts as you can't fuel or ship in enough water, down through Canada which is just barren taiga and dense forest with next to no infrastructure except near the US border, from the east through some of the most heavily urbanized environments on the planet into the Appalchian mountains which turns into Vietnam mountain edition, or from the west through one of half a dozen landing zones that exist, through narrow paths of the Rocky Mountains (there's only a handful) into open plains. Also the Mississippi river is a mile long river crossing in the middle of the United States.
It gets worse though because while invaders struggle to get a foothold, the US' infrastructure is second to none in moving vast numbers of supplies and military personal quickly via the highway system, rail system, or vast interconnected water ways. Also we have over 30 million hunters who are basically trained snipers who know the land better than you do (most are MAGA by the way). Then there's the fact that decapitation strikes don't work as the US is not one government; it is 51 governments in a *trench coat*.
Lincoln once said the following: “From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.”
This is still true today.
