If the Russians invaded US. Would stand and fight or flee??

Question

For myself I would stay and fight. Use urban building as high ground advantage points...

Answer 1

russia are more bothered about sending nuclear missiles to Great britain than start a war with the USA. they make threats everyday and send war planes over england five times in a week!

Answer 2

The Russian military lacks any real amphibious ability and the Russian Navy is no match for the US Navy. Russia could not afford a supply line that long. Since Mexico and Canada are friendly to the US, Russia would have to perform a direct assault upon the American mainland, a feat never successfully performed.

Russia may choose to invade through the Bering Strait into Alasaka, the shortest point between our two countries, but it would have to be in warm, clear weather. Even if they landed in Alaska, they would have to move through Canada, and that would be a very long and difficult supply line to secure and maintain.

The US has a great deal of forces in the Alaska area, based in Japan, Korea, Washington, Hawaii and Alaska. Russia would be crippled in the attack. We also have mutual defense pacts in the Pacific.

In addition, since we are NATO, an attack on one us , is an attack on all of us. France alone, could sink the Russian Navy, now add the Royal Navy, Italian Navy etc. The Russian Navy would be contained in the North Sea, Baltic Sea and Black Sea, with no ability to break through.

Assuming the war stayed conventional, Russia would have a war on many fronts.

Pacific: The US would launch attacks on Siberia from Japan and South Korea.

Central Asia: The US would attack through Afghanistan, Tajikistan etc.

Crimea: The US and Turkey would attack from Anatolia into the Caucus.

Europe: The US could gain a toe hold through the Baltic Republics, forcing Russia to keep forces in the northwest. The US/NATO could launch attacks from Germany, through Poland and all along Eastern Europe, no Warsaw Pact buffer states anymore. Forces in Norway would hammer the Russians in the Artic north. Ukraine would probably be persuaded to join the NATO cause or at the very least would step aside. Belarus would most likey stand aside.

Internally: The US would lead the Chechens, Dagestanis, and Inguish in guerilla warfare (we would pay later though).

The US military is larger, more combat experienced, more advanced, better led, and better trained. Our troops would be better motivated. The Russian military, although improving is still light years behind the US. The Russian military would be junked in no time.

The US, when fully mobilized, is a fearsome thing. We can afford the mobilization, and we can muster hundreds of combat divisions. We also have tons of equipment in storage that is still usable.

I' m not saying it would be easy and not all Russian gear is junk, it would be a terrible war. We were assuming of course that the US would not attempt to conquer and occupy Russia, that would be foolish and when pushed we see what Russia can do when given time to mobilize. However, I don't think many Russians would be as motivated to fight if it was an aggressive war rather than a defensive "Great Patriot War".

The goal of the US would be to be eliminate the Russians ability to make war, and destabilize the regime, allowing for change. Russia would be wrecked and it's status in the world diminished. Russia would also most likely be excluded from the UN Security Council.

But to be honest, the war would most likely go nuclear.

Let's assume somehow we find ourselves in a "Red Dawn" situation today. Say Russia could get here somehow, say NATO did not exist, say Russia was fully mobilized, say their technology was 21rst century, say they had the food and oil, fighting in America would be costly beyond all hope.

America is a mix of heavy urban areas...tough places to fight, and vast wilderness areas...not easy either. A great number of Americans are privately armed with some very heavy weapons and the insurgency combined with conventional military forces, would make victory impossible.

Would we fight? Oh yes! Look at our history...we fight constantly! we fight with ourselves! Americans, most anyway, love fighting.

Wolverines!!!

Answer 3

let me see russia cant invade usa cause they r in another Continent

and its extremely hard to reach them but on the other hand russia have a really strong soldiers that don't care about their live if it comes to save their motherland unlike americans who prefer to live than to die for their own country and if it comes to nuke all the world will burn in h**l

and u americans cant even win against russia and invade it .as u can see u cant even handle a small country like (iraq) ask ur self's can u handle the biggest country in the world? or 1 of the strongest armies in the world

ohh btw can u destroy 23000 tanks and 16000 nukes without even mensioning submarines aircrafts and soldiers

ahh i almost forgot if u go into a war with russia do u espect  china wont do anything .they r defenitly going to help russia against u

maybe russia have some old equipments but today they r renewing every single 1

Answer 4

How would the Russians get here?

They would be shot out of the sky or sank to the bottom of the ocean before they even got close

Answer 5

Why do you think that we want to get your country,

we sometimes do not know what to do with our land :D :D :D :D

Answer 6

An extremely unlikely scenario.  Since our military and economy have been decimated over the past seven years, I'd expect many Americans to fight guerrilla style.  We might expect some military help from China and Saudi Arabia since they own the U.S. now and probably wouldn't want to just hand it over to the Russians.

Answer 7

the marines would flee, the airforce would fight, normal american p***y combat style lol

Answer 8

i would stay and fight but a war on our land would never happen and if it does ever happen we r assed outed not because we can't fight but beause i don't think we can handle a war over here, just think about a all out war in NYC or DC, even if we win we will never be the same

Answer 9

Yeah...the U.S. would flee our own country.  Right...that's a legit scenario.  By the time Russia even thought about invading us, I'm sure Bush would already have his finger on the button, waiting to get at Russia first.  But...don't expect any of that to happen.

Answer 10

Russians couldn't conquer Afghanistan, how do they expect to conquer U.S? lol

Answer 11

i would stay and own some russian invaders like in red dawn

Answer 12

US couldn't conquer Afganistan either -_-

Answer 13

don't blame russian people only. we don't want this war as well.  

Answer 14

I'd learn to speak russian and grab an AK

Answer 15

of course i'd fight!!

i think most americans would fight. i think we'd whip some butt too!!

russia isn't that stupid though.

Answer 16

Where are we going to go?

By the time Russia wants to come get us we will have made the rest of the world hate us.

We will have no where to go.

Answer 17

I would stay and fight and kill all the Russians

Answer 18

Stay and fight ! It would be like that movie Red Dawn.

We could all rally together and call our selves the wolverines.

I'm serious s***w Russia if they try to become the USSR again.  

Answer 19

Any real American would stand and fight

Answer 20

That's tough.

I would stay and fight though,  I'd rather die in an epic way than live in depression.

Answer 21

I would head to Appalachia. That is where all the gun owners are and the high ground. We kick some Russian a**.

Answer 22

High ground buildings would be bombed quickly. Your best bet would be to do sniping where you can be mobile.

Answer 23

I would run, i have a family who i love and i couldn't stand to see them die, and also, it's easy to say you would stand and fight now, but that answer might chance very quickly if this were to actually happen.

Answer 24

Fight of course, But that's not going to happen. Russia need us more than we need them!

Answer 25

If it was a successful invasion then I wouldn't bother. No point continuing the death and suffering for no reason.

Russians are people too.

Answer 26

If obama wins it could be a legit scenario - he will implement gun control the Russians could march right in and take us over... otherwise they couldn't do it on their best day.

With all the gun owners here in the USA this would be a battle worse than Afghanistan was for the Russians - we'd show them a battle they never dreamed of in their worst nightmares.

Another argument for the Second Amendment...

Answer 27

*stares at everybody* now wht the fck is with tht kill-all-russians stuff goin on here? :\

i thought china and korea are the evil ones in the bond movies now :(

why on earth wud russia want to invade us? especially with the land forces lol

2 The dude: so ur tryin to say, tht ur doin better in afganistan right now, yeah? uh huh...  

Answer 28

I along with many other British and other NATO Countries would come, and find for you. We would fight along side you're Military and we wouldn't stop until Russia ran home with there tail's between there leg's. We wouldn't allow Russia to take con troll of the US, they may be powerful but they simply can't win against the whole of NATO.

bradley w Member believe me, if they did Nuke Britain they would seriously regret it. They would then be attacked by all of NATO and the Nuke's would be destroyed mid air before they could hit us. I would love to see where you get your information from that they fly over 5 time's a week.
