Hardest US state to invade?
- Thread starter HROT
- Start date
Contiguous I'd say probably Texas would be the toughest. California would be easiest with everyone sleeping and nodding off.
CA has tall mountains all across the eastern boundary. Would only have to defend the passes.
Texas you could drive for days and not see anyone.
That's fair. What percentage of the population of CA would be willing to take up arms and defend though?
Impossible question to answer. And if you think people in Texas would be any more resilient to invasion than any other state, I’d say you’ve got a serious bias. Texas is full of fat lazy rednecks. Doesn’t make for a great soldier.
The answer is Idaho. Ruby Ridge types.
That’s true of any state. I’m pretty fvcking liberal and I have more guns and ammo than they had at the Alamo in my residence lol. MERICA!
Illinois. The urban warfare in Chicago would be a bitch. Hell 50 people get shot every weekend without an invasion.
#IOWANICEAlso, what would be easiest?

If any RW'er says Texas while also complaining about "illegals" invading us...you might want to rethink your position
“Well, there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldn’t advise you to try to invade.”
General David Farragut didn’t seem to have an issue. Boom. Roasted. #UnionLife
No doubt he conquered New Orleans but my thoughts were those swamp folk can take care of business.
just going by topography, colorado has the potential to be like afghanistan. an initial cakewalk because of many pleasantly stoned (mj) residents slowly morphs into death for invaders by million cuts.
Iowa. Besides the impenetrable Mississippi to the east and the Missouri to the west, all the southern counties have the latest high tech anti drone armament...
The square heads from up nordt are too nice too attack anyway. Most are out fishing or ice fishing...

The largest ammo depot in the world is the Army depot at Hawthorn NV.
The town is surrounded by over 2400 underground bunkers. Looks like giant prairie dog hills.
FTR not sure how much is small arms. Lot of artillery rds.
Solid point. I'm looking at the geographic advantage of being mountain people shooting down hill. But I suppose if we we are getting invaded, those mountains are going to take a ton of airborne attacks.
Indiana. All the road construction would slow down any advancing infantry.
This is an Iowa site, that word is forbade!
I would just go with Nevada in the summer…got to deal with the heat, drunk tourists, and keep your guys doing the attacking out of the cat houses and off the slot machines.
Naw, those are largely drive-bys and quick encounters. The gangsters couldn't put together a sustained defense or counterattack. They'd just empty their clip and be sitting ducks.
West Virginia, Idaho and Louisiana all offer unique geographic challenges where the locals are well-armed and have their own brand of guerrilla warfare.
Why would anyone want it?
I’m partial to Arkansas. One massive river on the eastern border. Swamps and endless forests along the southern border. Semi rugged hills along most of the western and northern borders. The largest civilian ammo supply in the US at the Walmart DC in Searcy, and tons of stringy, angry anti-government types who believe in lost causes and that Jesus is their co-pilot in life.
Probably the same percentage as every where else. Do you live somewhere more willing?
Defend your answer.
Didn't know we were assuming everyone would help defend their state. I feel a very good percentage of Texans would grab a gun and defend over some others. Chill out
*Assuming lower 48
Florida being a peninsula would have some advantages. Michigan, same idea and you would get the freeze of winter to help you. The problem with the mountain places, other than Alaska, is they are all landlocked. Mountains suck but swampy land stops people.
I'm completely basing this off thr land, not the people, you would have to be mildy ****ing stupid to go try to take out Appalachia on their home turf.

You think for some reason other states would not stand up?
Texas has infiltrated your thoughts, suggesting they are more ready to defend themselves. Maybe because the loudmouths from that state catch your attention…
