The US could be really weak. There are ways to get there.
Higher civilian deaths.
Spetnaz and perhaps Mexican nationals performing effective sabotage and assassinations.
Bioweapons on crops.
Regional Schisms
States seceding
National Guard troops refusing to leave their home states after nuclear strikes and other mutinies.
Natural Disasters
I just have a problem with it being portrayed as worse than Poland which had armies go over every inch two or three times, chemical weapons, strategic and tactical nuclear weapons, carpet bombings, rail-lines destroyed, minefields, not a single prewar bridge or powerplant standing, etc.
