Would anyone try to stop the US from invading and conquering another country?

Say we decided to conquer Peru or Chile or somewhere like that. Would anyone send armies to try and stop us?

Yes.

It's called an insurgency.

no other country would oppose our military

however the news media, academia, and Hollywood would do everything they could to harm and hamper our troops

If the US started invading some bullshite country for no reason, I would hope that the average American would stand up to the government.

If it were Central America, the citenzry would fall on their knees and wave white towels.

Central America would support it. It would save them the trouble of having to come here.

Yeah, America... checks and balances, and all that other crap written forever ago that no one is paying attention to nowadays.

Now, if we invaded Argentina/islands off Argentina, it would only take a cruise ship of soldiers to get the job done.

I don't think any country would send troops to stop us, particularly if we framed it up with some bullshite reason like Russia does. However, of we became imperialistic and started taking over countries with any kind of regularity, I think the rest of the world would oppose us and eventually use military strength to stop the progression.

No one would send a uniformed military force to fight us in the Western Hemisphere - not even a theoretical opposition country's neighbors or allies. That would be suicide. I think it's probably possible to one degree or another that it would happen in Asia/Africa/Europe, but not likely.

What countries would do is send loads of money, weapons, and "advisers" to oppose us in such a theoretical fight (think Iran's activities in Iraq circa 2003 - 2010).

No one would want to engage in a direct fight. We have a harder time nation building after the conquest than we do winning a war.

Anyone who wanted to hurt the US in that scenario would try to take advantage of the power void after we took over by destabilizing the government we backed.

I’d hope somebody would stop us. We already subsidize 1 non-state shithole and that’s plenty.
