Realistically

[Ultramarine]

No nukes involved, then the US would win, Russia lacks the naval capabilities to launch a naval invasion of North America, And Modern Warfare's Scenario is so fucked up and full of holes it aint even funny. In no way would an air borne invasion, like the one used in that game, would work.

Well apparently none of you have read Tom Clancy's book the Bear and the Dragon. Russia's military is not well trained and they do not have the technological advances of the United States Military. The United States would win unless the Chinese or nukes got involved.

If Nuclear weapons were involved, no one would win. It will just be a massive shit storm. But Guinness world record 2010 claims China is the strongest atm.

...You get your facts about political and military standings from Guinness?

Well apparently you haven't read the post in this thread, only a couple of people have hinted towards Russia even remotely winning.

As for those of you saying China would win, this is USA vs Russia, not USA and allies vs Russia and allies.

I'm not saying that, but there would be to many possibilities to think of if that happened. Say China does get involved on Russia's side, Which European countries will come to our aid? And which side will the UN take? All of these would be major factors in a war between the US and Russia, just like who invades who, or if nuclear weapons are used.

To be completely honest, I think we should be worrying less about Russia and more about the rouge nations that have nuclear weapons, like North Korea, and Iran.

Because Tom Clancy is the go to place for military information, I totally forgot it was just a bunch of crappy books made for 40 year old dads.

Iran's space program is still focusing on sending classroom pets into space. I think we'll be a'ight for awhile.


And on a side-note, no matter what happens in World War 3, I think we can all agree Canada won't do shit.

why is chinas army so powerful?? They put one out of 3 babies in the armed forces or something?
The US has by far the most advanced technology in warfare! The f22 by it self would kick some serious ass.. the f15 and fa18 were already the best planes in the world and the f22 has like 8 to 10 times their killing power according to some stuff Ive read/seen..

That and other things would lead me to believe that russia has no chance..
China, I dont know about them but they seem they would have a huge amount of people making it quite advantageous to them

Remember though the US spends on defense more than 128 countries together or something close to that... thats a lot of money!!!

Wikipedia for the win?

Shows that the USA spends a ton-load more than the 2nd most, which is China. Mind you, this is 2008..

Apparently Iran has the most, then China, although Iran has 11 million people classified as Paramilitary... If you class it by active troops, China is first, US second.
