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.

The United States is being isolated from all the countries and institutions that make it the most powerful nation on the planet.
Russia has a ####Zillion nukes, and their economy is a joke.
They couldn’t hold Afghanistan or Iraq.
They don’t have the two million troops they’d need to hold the country.
They don’t have a mechanism to stop Canadians flooding south and buying weapons and setting their cities on fire.
They don’t have the political will within the country to go to war with Canada.
But never mind all that.
Don’t be so sure nobody is coming to help.
Canada is a NATO member. Just because the president doesn’t give a #### about it doesn’t mean Article 5 doesn’t exist for the other countries in the alliance who are sworn to defend one another.
France and the UK are nuclear powers. They have the same invisible submarines with the h-bombs that the Americans do.
They will not just let the United States take Canada.
