General - USA vs the World - View Post

The question really is too generic, as people have said it really depends on where the war is being fought, who its against, the state of the world economy, the political context within the countries involved etc. Obviously if a war is fought conventionally then the US would win, no doubt about it, but wars are never fought only on conventional levels. If we assume the US is projecting its power in the war then eventually the US would have to pull out as their military would get bogged down by guerilla fighters etc, we've seen how difficult its been for the US just in two relatively small middle eastern countries. Imagine how hard it'd be in Russia, China or Britain. Not to mention how expensive it'd be.

On the other hand if the group of countries involved were going to invade the US then at this point in time the US would win hands down as the other countries probably wouldn't even hit American soil thus forcing the war to remain conventional ensuring a win for the US.

If the war is nuclear with someone like Russia then everybody losses. Too many nukes = huge devestation.

Lets hope the US doesn't ever actually have a war with a proper opponent, the results would be horrendous for everyone involved.
