EVERYTHING will get nuked before America was seriously 'defeated' via a land invasion, you scenario is unfeasible so long as WMD exist and are in the hand of the US.

What the latest wars have shown is that foreign occupation is damn expensive.

Really Occupation? Okay. 

If WMD's come into play in Americas own homeland America loses. If they bomb China and Chinese military is already attacking America, America loses.

China is the main guys that can beat the US. US knows it that is why there is an almost Iron tight Alliance even though China is a communist nation. If China and the US goes to war neither China nor US will win

If Nth and Sth Korea combine and then they take Japan who knows. Or even an alliance, then they allied with China, the world would be run by these 4 nations, that is almost factual, hence why Homefront can work.

This is of course my opinion. Can the scenario work? hell yes, Do a lot of factors need to go right? Hell yes Is it likely? Probably not.

Sorry the use of 'foreign occupation' is incorrect, the phrase is too tied to colonialism and has too much negative connotation, I apologise if anyone is offended.

With respect to your response on WMD in America soil... Why nuke American soil?

It's call a no win scenario because once WMD is used then nobody wins. Before it comes to the point that's been shown in homefront, you can bet your ass that a sub full of nuke will rain hell in the invader's homeland. It won't take a lot of multi-megaton nuke to reduce North Korea into no-man land. When a country loses its production and manufactoring capability it cannot sustain a war, the frontline is only half the reason wars are won and lost and it's often not the most important half.

Again any scenario involving a successful invasion of US in unfeasible.

Before everyone makes their conclusion without actually playing the game or understanding how they deal with such issues, I suggest that they wait and see how the plot comes out.  The problem with Americans is that we believe we are untouchable, which lead to 911.  Do not forget that our country is very vunerable to a ground war especially with how easy it is to knock out most of America power infrastructure.  There are a few books out there that talks about this and the fact we have nukes doesn't mean we are safe.  I can see a bunch of scenerios where the US could find itself in such a situation described in Homefront.  If the US economy falls, we would be selling nukes left and right like Russia to keep our economy stable.  The plot is not far reaching if you think what would happen if the US economy tanked.
