The US will be divided up amongst the victors - probably Europe and China - sort of like east and west Germany.
From California: hey New York, your place or ours?
I mean, good luck making a landing on American soil in the first place. America is too big and too strong for the Germany ending to work; best you can do is probably a negotiated peace. Imagine if Japan had real industrial capacity. Sorry Americans but nobody's gonna save you from yourselves.
The US will tear itself apart. Nothing is impenetrable either. Difficult maybe, but the US alone couldn't withstand the world.
This is plausible.
World? What world? Even in the best-case scenario for your main fronts you're looking at Canada, China, a few European countries (I certainly doubt AfD Germany would join), South Korea and Japan. Everyone else either has better problems, is pro-America or sincerely doesn't give a fuck. This is certainly an impressive force (though again this is an absolute best-case scenario of dubious likelihood), but not quite "launch a successful invasion on America" impressive.
The US is a failing empire that lacks any sense of unifying cultural identity. It's going to (or is actively) be torn apart from within and what's left will be a cold war front for what superpowers and allys exist. I don't see the west coast or north east wanting to participate in the fascist state, especially over the long run. In the fall of the union, powers with more direct reading routes will be more likely to find partnerships in what ever the reformed north America looks like. This isn't a prediction of invasion, but I also wouldn't take that off the table.
China knows this wouldn’t work. Even if they had the military power, nobody would put up with that. Because of racism mainly.
Canada otoh many of us might welcome as liberators. But they don’t have the military to do it.
