would the US win?
yes. america rules and the enemy would face terrible losses
yes, but barely. the coasts would occupied but cruz would be holding out in the rural areas
no, america would be wiped out.

also do you realize how many tanks and planes we could start making

true, back in ww2 america didnt even have the best hardware or most advanced weapons across the board, they weren't necessarily strategic geniuses or anything, they just pumped out fucktons of weaponry like it was corn

the russians also did this

Soon enough America will have laser weapons on all the borders of the defendable empire and literally nothing will be able to pass without our permission.

Total dominance is immanent, friends.

This is only true for the parts of the country where us REAL Americans live.

I'm sure the Chinese and/or Euros could successfully occupy their sissy American counterparts in festering poo poo holes teeming with liberals like New York City. Those loving pussies bent over for daddy govt. already and let their 2nd amendment rights get trashed. If they'll take it up the rear end from their current masters, they'll do the same with some foreign horde.

Carolinas/Georgia/Alabama/Tennessee/etc.??? Hahahahaha. That's the stuff my sweetest wet dreams are made of. Black, white, Republican, Democrat - we're all armed to the teeth down here and would kill the poo poo out of anyone dumb enough to try and occupy our land. loving grannys and cubscouts would be racking up video-game death counts.

Beg to differ my fine Southern gentleman. Us New Yorkers have & love our 2nd amendment rights as much as proud sons of Texas do. As a former NYC resident of over 20+ years I've owned shotguns & other long rifles without a problem. Pistols? That's different in the city. Now outside the city? Go get all the Glocks/S&W your little heart wants.

Teeming with liberal pussies in NYC? The NYPD alone is about 30,000 officers strong give or take. Not including hundreds of deputies, State Police, tens of thousands of correction officers and other assorted city/state police agencies inside the city. Not gonna mention all the federal alphabet groups headquarters inside NYC because god-drat that's a lot of pork! So can we say NYC alone has over 60,000+- law enforcement officers just to keep the teeming, liberals pussies in line?

I would suggest that any invading foreign horde that attempted to pacify NYC would be better off strategically nuking the entire city off the planet than attempting to win our hearts & minds.

it is in the savage americans heart to take up weapons and murder with great glee at the slightest provocation

good luck hypothetical invading army


also I think you have to take as a given assumption that the other nations of the world would be allowed to unify and amass hardware for like 15 years without us doing anything

like our war-horny politicians would allow that to happen

The USA could have easily won both wars on terror if they were willing to play by 1800s anti insurgency rules. For an idea of what those look like look up the Boer War, or what Spain was doing in Cuba before the Spanish American war.

FYI for invading armies: you may not want to cut off our horrible junk food supplies as it may actually result in a more fit and less lethargic fighting force

that american defense budget is a good and true reflection of military capacity and definitely not a grossly overinflated example of abuse inherent to a capitalist system designed to siphon tax dollars to rich corporations who provide no benefit to the actual people of the nation

Also america hasn't really won a war since 1945 (which was only cause of the help from the rest of the world), and only chose to pick fights with people who were armed with stones and religion/communism.

Basically what I'm saying is that p much any other modern country would wreck america's poo poo 1v1

Hey guys, what's up?
You dont have the will to fight.
USA is not controlled by your president but by the corporations and they are only interested in seeing stocks go up. You would surrender so fast when the stockmarket crashes that it isnt even funny.

Do you really think an american president could do what Putin is up to now? He has tanked the economy by playing superpower, being stubborn and trying to save face.
