What are you asking outside forces to do? Invade America and install a foreign government because americans are unable to maintain their freedom?

Perhaps we can ask the Taliban for help

You're saying that like it's a bad thing? If that's what needs to happen so that Elon Musk doesn't irreparably damage our country and cause the deaths of millions, then yes. Please. Invade us. We've done it to plenty of other countries, maybe it's our turn.

Also yeah, that's pretty much what NATO does when shit really hits the fan.

There is no way to invade you.

military spending

Your military is 37% of the whole world. It would require literally you vs the whole rest of the world, and even then with you being a literal island, an invasion would probably still not be possible because of the supply line advantage.
