Even with Russia AND China it's rough, just due to ridiculious US naval superiority.
What I find funny is how everyone complains about how much the US spends on the military vs other stuff, why the US has such a big military compaired to the EU that it can use everywhere and is stationed everywhere etc...
but as soon as the question boils down into a "Who would win in a fight" everyones liberal predalictions disapear because nobody wants to be on the side that loses in a war that will never be fought.
Suddenly Europeons want to have an army just as good, even though a combined EU is really only about the size of the US in GDP terms, and a combined EU and Russia still smaller then USA, Canada Mexico.... Sort of reminds me of the guys who are "totally cool" with homosexuality, except have to act exageratidly grossed out if they see two dudes kissing. At the end of the day, no matter how enlightened most guys are, it all still boils down to one big pissing contest for most people. Outside which a EU + Russia army that was superior to the US army would actually cost a hell of a lot more as a percentage of GDP. Christ the fact that the US would pretty handily defeat a combined Europe+Russia should be seen as something upsetting... for Americans. Not Europeons. Because it shows just how freaking wasteful military spending in the US is, that a combined fictional superthreat isn't even really any threat at all. |
Never mind I am certain I read this wrong.
I really wanted to challenge Europeans to make an arguement.It would make he thread more than just a defeat by all the reasoning given why North America does appear to have the dominant power.
