You make it sound like all the US can do is nuke. Having a powerful military involves much more than nuclear warfare. If the US decided to take over Canada, nukes wouldn't need to be used...same for Mexico. Your land would still be usable...preventing the "slowly dying". Sure, nukes can be used on Russia, China, or some other huge threats...but it's not like the entire world needs to be nuked.
Well that's not what I was trying to make it sound like, but the point still stands... If you're going to start taking over land in such a situation, then you might want to start using nukes, because at that point, it's whoever hits the other first...

And really, if the US were to take over Canada and Mexico, how would you use all that land or even keep control over it?

We're getting into really stupid scenarios now -_-
