    Vietnam represented an ideological threat to the US. never an invasion or attack threat.

    in fact, the only time Soldiers engaged was on Vietnamese territory.

    And one could argue that 1492 was the first time the United States was invaded

Any oil or natural gas going to Europe outside of their control weakens their influence.

    I would recall that Russia is the largest importer of minerals, including oil. And ways of delivering enough. The pipeline in Georgia, no longer plays any role for the Russians. For oil fighting other countries that buy it.

    All because of a shipping error. Damn shipping company didn't get us the letter in time.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    A very good point. But if we're talking land mass, it still stands

    looks like the ruskies are holding onto the territories they have gained.
    A woman goes to the doctor to figure out why she is having breathing problems...The doctor tells her she is overweight. She says she wants a second opinion...the doctor says, "your ugly".

    Well actually the Vikings discovered and settled in North America back in the 10th century. However, they decided it was a bit rubbish so went home again.

    Oh right. Sheet... I should really take my brain in for the 100,000 mi service soon.

    But I guess you neglected to mention the other time we were invaded during the war- a Japanese balloon killed a teacher and I think one of his students.

    edit- Technically, Hawaii was not a state until 1959. As only our bases were attacked, it was only an American territory that was attacked; not the United States of America itself. Therefore, my original point still stands (well, I also include 9/11, but I should have said the 1st too).

    It was more "island off the coast" than actual land mass. Hell, it was more Cuba than US.

    ok here it is,Japanese forces landed on Attu and the neighboring island of Kiska Alaska on June 7, 1942, in the only land invasion of the United States during World War II.

    Name any country - let alone a small "bitch-@ass" one - which has literally attacked the USA since WWII?

    Can you name all those small "bitch-@ss" countries which the US has attacked, merely since WWII?
