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.

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

The US navy would just hammerfuck everyone else. People saying that carriers would be taken down by barrages of cruise missiles are missing two important concepts. The ocean is big and simply finding the carrier groups would be a huge challenge, and the entire concept of an American carrier group is built around defending against incoming swarms of commie missiles. The whole conversation starts and ends with the navy if we're talking a defensive war against the world

From pages ago sorry but:

The US produces a lot of its own oil actually; we are one of the top oil producers in the world. In a total war economy I think we'd have enough for an extended defensive war.

King of Kings Ozysandwich am I. If any want to know how great I am and where I lie, let him outdo me in my work.



Okay, so we're assuming that nukes are totally gone, but everyone's conventional military stays the same? :confused:

IMO there's no way anyone's giving up nukes without first building up a conventional force to replace their deterrent factor. Especially if the USA is openly descending into fascism.

Really this is a silly hypothetical from the get-go. Like hell Russia's getting rid of their nukes.

The United States has such a poo poo infrastructure system moving our ground forces around would probably be extremely hard, and our ability to deal with a invasion force once they got past the coasts would be extremely limited. This of course assumes that our enemies have similar equipment or higher numbers than us, and that of course they got past the laser ships.
