  • Americas end as global leader? FICTIONAL

    This is just a question from a ''fictional'' point of view.

    Let's say that France, Germany, Russia and China declare war on the U.S. would they be able to win? Do you think america would resist?

    I think they'd be overwhelmed and wouldn't be able to compensate.

    They'd lose. They're just a big bunch of Euroasiawussies, afetr all.

      Such a war would probably eventually result in America splintering into a handful of different nations and yes, it would spell the end of it's reign as global imperator.

        Tsk, tsk tsk, Spectator, you're in violation of the two thread per day limit. Any further attempts will result in suspension.

          Got your PM. THIS time i'll close the other one and reopen this one. The rule is not intended for people to shotgun and then see what sticks and then decide which one they want opened. It's to reduce CLUTTER and spamming. But I'm feeling generous today and you were nice about it, so I did as you asked and didn't restrict you. Please remember for future reference.

            No. It's one of the beauties of having an ocean between your nearest potential military rivals. Water is a superb barrier to invasion.

                Yea, ok. But I think that with todays thecnology the planet is so small that it doesn't make that much of a difference.
                Understand me well, I think it does make a difference but not as much as in world war 2.

                    I've yet to see any convincing evidence of that though.

                      Just stealth weapons for example, satellites, long range missiles....etc....

                        . this doesn't explain how they win an allout war against the US.

                        I imagine they probably could, but not using those.

                        Oh, and NO NUKES.

                          Spec: The only countries to have much of that are the US and Russia.

                          None of our potential adversaries have much by way of navies.
                          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                            Can be detected. In addition to that air power alone have never won a war against a Great power. I'd even dispute its efectiveness as a sole weapon against minor powers.
                            satellites,

                            Don't win wars.
                            long range missiles

                            Again they don't win wars. If you are going to invade the territory of a Great Power, you have to occupy it with troops.

                              Ummmmm, I think...no, I'm pretty damn sure China has those, as for Germany they DOES have those. Germany is one if not the most richest country in the world.
                              China has 4 million soldiers ready for action.
