seriously, WWII was fought off=shore. so was Korea, and South Vietnam, and Iraq and Afghanistan, and maybe others.
so, if we were attacked on domestic shores, who would be on the short-list to call at 3am in the morning, roust them out of bed, and ask for assistance?

Canada and England. Mexico if we'd offer up citizenship. China if we would assure them that we'd pay off our debt, but they may be the next invading world power.

we'd sink their transport ships and shoot down the planes, before they ever got here.

It's a dumb question Gus but I oughta be used to that by now.There ain't a lot of us(quality not quantity!)But I could not ever see Canada standing by while the US fought a foreign enemy on your own territory.If we we were needed we'd be there,your enemies are OUR enemies as well.The same goes for the other countries that make up what's left of the "Free World"(GB,Australia,NZ,etc.)If it was ever needed these nations would stand with you,as you have stood with us.

Still, impossible as it may be, it's an interesting question. Is there a country that would risk its blood and treasure on our behalf?

so, y'all are suggesting not to bother the UN, but to try and keep it all in the family, so to speak? i agree.
but, i'll match and then raise ya one. i think Mother Russia is in play. and i have no knowledge or evidence of that. i think they are our nearest neighbor beyond Canada on the North and Mexico on the South. but, i digress.
this is just the internet. a time and place to have a lot of fun, ok?

Seriously it's a seriously stupid question, then again... Given time, it's not stupid at all. With present technology, the bulk of the damage in the next world war will not likely be a product of troop carriers and aircraft. Parties will pound population and industrial centers until countries beg for peace.

I think NATO treaty gets invoked by all members with an attack on one. Which ones actually show up would be another, more valid question.

Why would we need to ask for any help?
Any country or coalition that invaded us in the traditional military sense, would know they make a strategic error, in very short order.
Our enemies know this very well. That's why they use asymetric warfare.

The only way the USA will ever be destroyed is from within. I believe there are some voting shenanigans going on which have allowed the Usurper to sit in the Whitehouse. There is still no getting around the fact that a lot of people in this country have voted for a Muslim during a time that we were fighting two wars with them. If it is indeed a "War on Terror" and not a war on the Iraqi or Afghani people, as Dubya said, then "terror" has to be synonymous with "Muslim". And the people of the USA elected one. Whether Obama is an American really doesn't matter as much as it matters that millions of real Americans voted for him.
