Human actions and behaviors are cyclical, but 'history repeats itself' is a myth. The United States aren't likely to look anything different post-invasion as they do now. They are the most powerful nation on the planet, and they have the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons apart from Russia. There is no coalition of economic or military strength that is going to stop them without some type of nuclear intervention...and guess where that leaves us all.

It's a bit naive to think our reputation and relationships with other nations will magically save us. The only thing that may, IMO, is a military coup or civil war that disrupts the beast from within. And I actually (maybe naively) think that could be a likely scenario.
Canada would get steamrolled in a conventional war. However, generations of guerilla warfare and violence against the civilian population will change the way that the USers live their lives.
