My god... you are so full of you countryes military "powr" that you have absolutly no idea. Its far not as powerfull as they want you to bealive, just that its so overly advertised that people actually bealive it. Shore, you can start the discussion that when they attacked Iraq not one US tank was destroyed and over 500 Iraqi was, but then you just have to look at the facts and see just how big of a BS that is. The Iraqis for instance used 60's Soviet tanks and half of the military perosnel operating it had basicly no training...
China is arguably more powerfull heaving far less advanced weapons, but far more brute force and a far better economical sittuation. Than there is Russia whom is sitting on the worlds largest nuclear stockpile, and heaving by far the most raw matterial in the world. Niether of the two makes any "commercials" about their army outside of their state, but when they have an issue they resolve it in a much more brutal, faster and more efficiant way ;)
And now about WW3... well unfortunatly the only scenario I could imagine is a nuclear war, and then it would be all over anyways. And yes, if conflicts will continuasly start in the next decade we could arguably call the current sittuation a WW... |
Seriously, the US and UK forces are some of the very best if not *the* best forces in the world. Just look how much better the joint US and UK coalition is doing in Afghanistan compared to the USSR just 10 years previously, when they probably has similar weaponry to what they have nowadays, given Russia is a lot weaker than the USSR. That's also an example of them not sorting out something quickly, also see the whole China Tibet issue, Chechyna, etc
That's not to say they can't be taken on, but the numbers and technology required would have to be massive just to overcome the training that US and especially UK soliders get, most other countries bother with little battle training. I mean juast look at the budgets, the US takes up a half of the entire worlds military budget, with UK second, though quite a bit less (like a 10th or something haha).
