| Zax said: This gets asked a lot on War forums and is usually always unanimously agreed that Europe would win and without much difficulty either. North America just wouldn't have anywhere near the numbers to be able to win. Europe would have many times the amount of special forces who would wipe out all of the important US leaders, this would include the SAS who are the best special forces unit there is. If US lost to Vietnam and had trouble with the middle east there's no they'd win against Europe. |
I wonder what war forums you visit... because that's just wrong... if you have the most basic knowledge of the militarys at play and warfare.
I mean... how does the SAS even get to North America? Europe doesn't have the hardware or force projection needed to invade.
The USA had trouble against Vietnam... because it was a war that was never fought all out because of the fear of Vietnam.
Still Vietnam is a great example, because that's sort of what a war between NA and Europe would look like.
A North America vs Europe war is basically just the North American Navies wiping out the Europeon ones fairly quickly, followed by a protracted air campaign which europe would eventually lose.
Followed by the USA more or less just bombing/missling any europeon factories for decades until one side loses it's will to fight.
Which, lets be honest, is far more likely to be europe under stalemate conditions, let alone losing conditions, what with the greater aversion to war, and many many different countries who will start blaming each other, argueing with each other, and lets be honest....
sell each other out...
and on the off chance the US people decided to give up first....?
Just like vietnam, the only damages would be far outside of the USA and the casualties would be far worse on the non-american side.
Besides, it's not like various europeon countries haven't had worse losses then vietnam.
Hell. Look at the recent EU sponsored wars like Libya, they basically had to drag in the US kicking and screaming to do all the heavy lifting because the EU wasn't confident it could handle LIBYA without trouble, because they just didn't have the technology to bomb Libya good enough.
Considering the thread rules though... it's pretty much just the US navy destroying the Europeon navy, then bombing the EU army to a managable size, then the US army comes over and finishes the job.
