*laughs* Yes! Historically that's gone well as a first step.
An armed invasion would present some logistical challenges. I'd imagine that current EU hosts of US bases would attempt to deny the US use of them for the purpose ... but probably only the UK would be in a position to enforce that, and we probably wouldn't try. Come to think of it, they could probably just move a few carrier groups in to the Adriatic and just tell Slovenia (and perhaps Italy) to STFU if they have a problem with it.
