The usa vs russia and china?

Question

if the usa was to go to war with these russia and china would they be able to handle them.

Also if this does happen does it almost definatley mean britain will be dragged in.

Answer 1

It all depends on where the war was fought.  All three nations are massive and are 3 of the 4 biggest in the world in land mass (India being #2).

To fight on USA soil Russia and China would have to vastly improve their logistics in order to fight  a war here.  In the of modern history only two nation, the USA and UK have fought signicant wars abroad.  (USA WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq 1 and 2, UK defending her empire till the 1960's and WW2).  During this time the USA developed what it takes to lead your military in conflict thousands of miles from home.  The Chinese and Russians do not have the ability to fight a prolonged attack on American soil as the time it takes to reinforce and build troops that far away takes months.  It took the USA months to build up troops to liberate Iraq.

Fighting over seas on Chinese and Russian soil, the USA's best bet would be to blockade both nations into submission,  while pounding both nations army's into the ground using Carrier based planes and long range bombers such as the B-2 and B-52.  Eventually the USA would have to land troops somewhere to establish a base for land operations to begin, but that would take time to soften an area up.

Answer 2

Cannot.. usa have shown their weakness in iraq war.. the 9/11 is headed by osama which is in Afghanistan , but usa mislead everyone and hit and conquered iraq instead.

so if usa at war .. maybe they will mislead everyone again and attack iran instead of china n russia.

Answer 3

Are you guys not happy with being safe and sound here in U.S? the last thing you need is ww3, technically it will be the last thing we see if the war happens.

Answer 4

china won't side with russia since china depends on the usa economic market and china fears the russians as much as the USA do

Answer 5

the 9/11 was headed by osama? is tht so? :)

Answer 6

Yes we'd be able to handle them, but its not gonna happen.  

Answer 7

It would be hard to see Russia and China allied against the USA, but stranger things have happened (see: Russian-US alliance, WW2).

You can't look at this in a vacuum, because such a conflict wouldn't be limited to just three nations.  Most countries with any ability to project power internationally would pick one side or the other (reminiscent of the Eurasia/East Asia/Oceania perpetual war in George Orwell's 1984) .  The UK would likely join the US, as I'm sure would the rest of NATO.  I think South America would be fairly split, although some (Brazil?) might even remain entirely neutral.  Southwest Asia and Africa?  My guess is they'd mostly side with the Eurasian alliance.

In the end, a whole lot of people would die on either side, and the war would never escalate to a war of annihilation.  Neither side would have an objective so critical that it would be willing to sacrifice millions of its own people for the sake of accomplishing a political objective, and the best anyone could hope to see would be more detente.  This is why such a war would not happen.

Answer 8

The two combined equal about one fifth the annual expenditures of the US military budget.

China would be a threat, but not a serious one because they lack logistics capabilities, and have no projection powers.

Russia is a joke. The past 5 days proved that. They can't defend their fleet, they can't defend their armor. Their pilots are so inexperienced that they cannot even fly below the minimum ceiling. They have no drone capability. No rolled bar armor. They have no defense against the h**l fire. They're just in bad, bad shape.  

Answer 9

First American missiles will be deployed in Poland and the Check Republic. This will prevent effective Russian counter nuke strike. And the play can start. Which will be sad because I live in Moscow:-)

Answer 10

nope the U.S wont be able to handle both alone.  I lol'ed at the guy who was talking c**p about the Russian Army lol, the U.S spends about $500 million( or is it billion?) a year on its military, but it cant even completely pacify afghanistan and iraq.

Now Russia on the other hand spends only $30 million( or is it billion?)

( makes you wonder why the U.S is all freaking mad when a country like Russia or China increase its military spending when they spend more then 10 times the military spending of Russia and China)a year on its military and it got the same result that the U.S got when it invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.

Add in China which has the largest population in the world in the biggest army in the world( note: i said biggest not strongest) and it pretty much evens the scale or maybe even puts the scale in favor of the Sino-Ruski alliance.  To those that might say that numbers aint ****, well look  back in history during the Korean war, the US with UN forces and together with the south korean forces pretty much had the whole of present day North Korea then suddenly half a million chinese( or was it a million?) came to reinforce the North Koreans, and suddenly the tide of the war change and all was history.

Russia still has about the same amount of nukes as the U.S and China has its Nukes too, Nukes vs Nukes= Death for us all.

No one would win
