In a ground to ground fight i'd say we'd put up a solid fight, though their personal shields would be a severe problem. I mean a M1 Abrams would trump a Wraith anyday and we can easily bunker-bust a Scarab.

But if we are factoring ships in the equation then we are hosed. Being glassed from orbit we would have no defenses. But then again we do have enough nukes to blow up the earth a few times so we may be able to take a few down perhaps.

But in the long run i'd say were doomed.
