Why would the aliens/hybrids elect to begin their efforts in the United States? It seems counter intuitive. There are other nations that would be far better places to begin. Pick a disadvantaged nation, with an impoverished population. Spread out, leverage humans internecine conflicts as a method of self preservation. And if alliances can't be built with the human population, go with the AI, or even other species. The US exceptionalism and single minded focus on the human species does the story a disservice.
