USA- Most advanced. A jet can shoot a target halfway across the country and still hit it. Tanks have computer controlled aiming that measures drop, speed, etc so the tank almost never misses. Infantry have all sorts of cool gadgets.

China- Biggest numbers. For every US soldier, there is 3 Chinese soldiers. Who needs technology when you can just overwhelm the enemy?

Russia- Cheap, fast andreliable. A Russian mig cost nowhere as much as a USA F-18. Russia can produce 10 missiles in an instant. Although Russia can't stand alone, army isn't big enough.Russia would be a great friend for producing weaponry.

u honesty don't think if the us invaded china that china would not take everyone available and try to stop it? this is china u do what ur told

NicktehImperial

And you're doing one of two things...training or sending untrained soldiers into combat. Either way...doesn't matter. In addition, we'd have allies if it came to it.

You just worded my thoughts.

Depends, if China attacks first then yes if US attacks first then they probably have most of the world against them

Their really is no other answer to this question than the US military. How many other countries in the world sport god damn FLEETS of carriersin peace time and maintain more than 6% GDP-to-military spending at all times? It's not even a question.

The light is starting to come to me and I'm thinking that if we got in a war with China( assuming it was like pre-iraq when we could support a fresh war), we would loose because of their sheer numbers ASSUMING that it was a war on their land.

I'm talking on the infantry front though. I know for a fact that our airforce would be unparalleled. My dad said on the news a couple days ago, US and Israel did an airstrike over Kuwait and took out their AA system which was supposed to be the best in the world and we didn't loose a single jet. Thats pretty good...

Guiltfeeder566

In my personel opinion. China would lose, because it would just be more soldiers for our guys to kill.

In fact, it would almost be like the perfect war for the US and its allies....

The perfect war? What the hell does that mean?

You don't understand, the Chinese probably aren't horrible like the terrorists in Iraq. they're probably average, and an average skill force with TONS of men can over run EXCELLENT men with smaller numbers in comparison.

How about when we bomb them to oblivion, close in on em with our legions of carriers, then send elite Marines, Rangers, Airborne ETC into their country,our guys are designed for that....

China's Second Artillery Corps has over 1000 ballestic missiles and 70% of them can be nuclear tipped and thus China CAN retaliate. You will need a lot more than just bombs to defeat China, the country is huge. If America couldn't bomb Vietnam to submission, how can it bomb China which is like 30 times the size.

You forget that the US is tied for 3rd with China in size. Raw numbers mean little in modern warfare, where infentry is as reliant on tanks as they are on infentry. If the US got a stable foot hold in China and a solid supply chain running it would steam roll anything short of an equal quality force. We were outnumbered in Iraq tank for tank and still decimated them with almost no heavy armor losses.

Ah then the Chinese would use guerilla tactics which would OWN the Americans

Not as important, since an automatic Grenade Launcher is more relevant to tactics rather than strategy. Though note worthy indeed.

Dude you really need to stop. If you're doubting on guerilla tactics, then look to a prime example where it favored us: the revolutionary war.

Um, dude. Insurgency is an issue of occupation. If your enemy has forced you into a position where you need to resort to guerilla tactics to merely SURVIVE, then you definantly haven't won the "Best Military" title.

It's also rather stupid to judge the capabilites of the US military upon wars which they clearly forced themselves to fight with both arms tied behind their back.

During a major war with a draft...it would undoubtedly be shorter...depending on how quickly they needed troops. I was Military Intelligence.....and as such...that is what I did.

The Romans never had problems ith insurgencies, but they ****ing nailed people to the cross and set them on fire... So harsherness=no insurgencies.

If the US was harch though, the world would turn on us...

[QUOTE="CaptHawkeye"]we're talking about the insurgency too?

if there was an insurgency then the US WOULD lose.

Um, dude. Insurgency is an issue of occupation. Ifyour enemy has forced you into a position where you need to resort to guerilla tactics to merely SURVIVE, then you definantly haven't won the "Best Military" title.

It's also rather stupid to judge the capabilites of the US military upon wars which they clearly forced themselves to fight with both armstied behind their back.

The Romans never had problems ith insurgencies, but they ****ing nailed people to the cross and set them on fire... So harsherness=no insurgencies.

If the US was harch though, the world would turn on us...

so we're just discussing a conventional war?

The US military is by far the most powerful on Earth. Nothing else even comes close. The size of it's Navy and Air capabilities is unmatched, along with one of the largest and best trained army's as well.

I would say Russia is the first, followed by the brits and the US. Sure looking statistically you might disagree. But look at it this way, russian military machine is more efficient, reliable, and much cheaper. a Mig-29 is still a better plane than the F-15, F-16 and F18, and costs 2x less to produce, same goes to the AK-74. Then Russia has more military history than the US, The US is too young to have a comparable military history to Europe. Europe has long standing traditions and proven standards for its generals. Than the Russians aren't afraid to get dirty, I mean look at Iraq vs Afganistan, The Russians didn't care a lot about civilians, if they got info that there were enemies hiding in a village they would just bomb it. This thread is really pro American, and it is clearly visible that the American propaganda machine is doing its job pretty well.

this is what would happen in this order

1: US military defeats chinese military with very few casualties

2: Insurgency involving millions of people expels US military occupation forces

3: China is thrown into another bloody civil war

4: chinese defectors invade Taiwan

5: US navy carries out strikes in south east china

6: this goes on until another government is established

The most efficient? The Russians are notorious for being incomptetant, reason being why they fell apart.

I second that. But I could aimagine a bit of a larger scale land war for some reason, IDK.

And yet russia can't do the same to chechnya...

The US has already defeated the Iraq military, if you want to talk about guerrilla warfare, that's for another thread. Go troll somewhere else.

Beating a country to its knees, then try and getting cooperation from those people by putting them in government isn't the easiest task in the world.
