Unless the Russians or Chinese developed some sort of Cylon-like weapon to disable all our defense systems like radar, sonar, missiles, ships, airplanes, etc, there is less than the proverbial snowball's chance in hell of it happening like that.

If you go back to 1944 technology (which would take nukes out of the mix, which you can't really do) and Germany & Japan had combined to conquer Europe & China respectively (saying that Germany never invaded Russia & Japan hadn't bombed Pearl Harbor) the Axis likely would have snagged Hawaii, Alaska & maybe eastern Canada or Mexico to launch air raids on the US industrial base in the mainland... after months of bombardment, they'd invade through Canada and/or Mexico.
