I've never understood the bizarre negative reaction to speculative fiction or games involving an invasion of the US. I guess, you're right, we're just so damn awesome that it would likely never happen, right? That's probably not what you wanted to hear, though. I think a tenacious enough enemy, if they could hold out long enough (especially in the absence of strategic nuclear weapons), could at least require a full scale military response. If they managed to sabotage the national highway system at crucial junctions, it would delay American response even further.
But a United Europe then coming to America's rescue (having a pitifully small sea lift capability at present), that makes perfect sense, right? I'll see your paranoid military fantasies and raise you a wistful desire for a return to empire.
Maybe Crytek can do the sequel about the EU falling apart in the aftermath of the American invasion, since it's headed that way quite swiftly as we speak. Destroying Europe (again) is such a retread, but I guess it's what you people want.
Europe was never an Empire, a lot of nations have had an Empire in Europe but there has never been a European Empire, so it could never return to one.
There will never be a United Europe ever there has never been such a thing, but I think NATO would have a good chance of rescuing America from an invasion that would never happen.
Speculation about invasions and so forth are pretty silly, it would probably be another cold war if any and most likely between America and China because the Chinese want their money back.
Doesn't sell games though I suppose.
I wouldn't say Europe is collapsing though, perhaps as a federal entity yes, Greece is done, Italy is done, it's more like a reform where European nations indebt smaller European nations in order to "save Europe" then kick them out of the Euro/force them to pull out of it anyway. I'll be suprised if Greece doesn't default.
