Maybe its better to first summarize what would be needed for a successful invasion.
What you need is at least the following:
1. A bloc that has enough political determination to continue it to the end.
2. That also has enough economic leverage to trash the us economy.
3. A North American staging area, where you can build up forces, and can have logistics & repair facilities, plus enough airbase capacity for air support.
4. Enough logistics to transport the troops there
5. 2 was needed, so there would be us govt/economy that was in such a bad shape so it would let the build up happen, or simply doesn’t have the power/money to act.
So essentially before the war goes hot, you need a devastating trade/economic war. Just to cause the same thing what happened to Russia at the end of the cold war.
The tricky part is the economics, to pull this off the bloc that does this needs to have a certain economic independence, because when this great economic war starts happening global trade will collapse and countries that depend largely on exports are in a lot of trouble. Due to the fact that global trade is so much interconnected causing this amount of mischief has a huge chance of shooting the bloc that does it in the foot. Therefore reducing chances of success.
