I wouldn't rule out them being carbon based because water is apparently really common in the universe
I'm thinking the problem will be their DNA, because unless they evolved in an environment that's almost exactly the same as ours then their DNA (or whatever they use to pass genetic information) is going to be too different from ours
I think this would only rule out the effects of things like Viruses, and how Viral DNA exists in biological environments that aren’t DNA based isn’t really well known since, well, DNA is foundational to terrestrial life.
Bacteria could still propagate and multiply in those foreign entities if they provide nutrients and no immune response

You might be right, I might have only been thinking about viruses this whole time

Why would they control us they’d just kill us and take our stuff

Can’t take our labor if they kill us
I’d say a violent alien incursion would play out like the colonization of Africa most realistically
Local leaders would provide cooperation, access to resources, and blind eyes in exchange for security and relative stability, especially after initial violent confrontations that went badly for other belligerents
Lmao what if aliens came and just used neoliberal policy to outcompete against the west and neocolonize the earth
