It might be said that the aliens have been coming to Earth for so
long that, if they were going to take over Earth, they would have
taken over by now. But it could be that Earth getting technologised
to the point where Earth could stop alien raids, would encourage the
aliens to knock Earth technology down far enough to stop that risk.
With whatever time lag is caused by flight time from the alien
homeworld to Earth and back.
