They think the US should basically react to nothing unless foreign troops literally land boots on our soil.

Who is this mythical force that could land troops on US soil? What in heavens name could they hope to accomplish? Even if they could get past our Navy and Air Force how will they get past the National Guard, the hundreds of thousands of armed local, state, and federal cops. How will they overcome the 80,000,000 private gun owners in this country? How will they absorb our nuclear retaliatory strike? I guess Paul plans to get rid of all the US armed forces and the 2nd Amendment.

How much more damage could this fantasy invasion do than the very real invasion of tens of millions of illegal aliens that Clinton/Bush/Obama have encouraged the past twenty years? How much damage could they do than the Banksters have already done to our economy.

Red China is a totalitarian slave gulag that murders and tortures its own people and the US government doesn't do anything except send them our industry and manufacturing and go into debt into them. The North Koreans are pretty awful too but we only sent them a couple of nuclear reactors. When are we going to invade North Korea and liberate those poor people?

FYI, Ron Paul feels that the US is a bigger currency manipulator than China, despite the $300b bilateral trade deficit, and opposes the imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods. Paul also gets an F on immigration from NumbersUSA, a lobbying group that wants to zero out immigration (legal and illegal), due to his stance that zeroing out entitlements, rather than immigration enforcement, is the way to deal with immigration issues. The problem, of course, is that entitlements are popular. If we have to wait for entitlements to be abolished, mass immigration will never end.

You realize we are in this position because we have a powerful military that can project power and we tend to snuff out most threats before they become critical. Were it up to Ron Paul, things would be quite different. The last time we had a hollow military and a very weak foreign policy under Jimmy Carter, the dominoes were falling all over the world from Nicaragua to Angola to Afghanistan.

Last I checked, Ron Paul opposed a wall on the southern border because of some goofy idea that it would be used to prevent Americans from escaping to Mexico. I highly doubt Paul would be any more effective against illegal immigration than any of those you listed.

Err, what is a "bankster" exactly? The only place I ever hear the term is from leftists who blame everything on some loopy globalist, "bankster" conspiracy. Do you find yourself worrying about The Bilderberger Group by chance?

Ah, the old fallacy that we can't do anything until we do everything. Heard it a million times, standard left wing boilerplate talking point. Can't do anything about Afghanistan unless we do something about Iran and North Korea. Can't do anything about Iraq, unless we do something about Syria and Somalia. This is standard left wing thinking, which is not surprising coming from Paul supporters considering Ron Paul basically argues for a leftist foreign and defense policies.

First they have to get past the mental block of even getting such an idea broadly enough accepted to initiate such a massive invasion. Then, second, and non-trivially, contributing largely to the first, they have to get past geography, like 7,000 miles of pacific ocean. Of course they could bypass some of that and island hope a million man army through the Kuriles and Aleutians.

And then you have to do all of that while the Navy and Air Force are shooting at you. Oh, and there would be this little itty bitty problem that your capital city, ports and major bases would be smoking radioactive craters.
