What do you think about the two bombs atomic about Japan?

Well I mean with putin in power of Russia, we could have a third world war. There is this oil field in Ukraine that the Russians want to get as it most of it's oil is being sold to USA. That is a potenial motive for an actual cold war.

You mean a war? A cold war is basically an arms race.

FilipALFA · Sep 26th 2015, 12:46am

That and that. First there would be a cold war but for the oil when it starts running low which it soon would and then just when Russia wants to get their hands on the oil fields, USA wants it too and BOOM a war.

I would bet heavily on the US winning.

FilipALFA · Sep 26th 2015, 12:51am

Yeah, dude check out DARPA. Amazing things are made there.

Butter Ball Bill · Sep 26th 2015, 12:56am

Oh yeah. Was it them that made the lasers and railgun?

You sure about that? The US hasn't fought a world power in a long time.

Have you heard about the T-14 Armata?

It's faster, a lot lighter, and has equal or more firepower to an M1-Abrams, and there's supposed to be several thousand of these things by 2020.

The last war that the powers fought was WW2, there some skirmishes but a modern war will be unprecedented.

Sir McSquiggles · Sep 26th 2015, 1:53am

So who would win then? Shall we vote?

I agree the U.S. has converted to combating guerrilla warfare and has not fought a conventional war in a while the rule of Air superiority remains the same and the U.S. is pretty good at that.

kingjoe1077 · Sep 26th 2015, 2:57am

Peace must be made through assertive action.

V1nd1cat0r · Sep 26th 2015, 3:26am

Are we going to rule out nukes in the vote? The winner is meaningless if civilization is wiped out and the human race is at the tip of extinction.

GreatbigHippo · Sep 26th 2015, 3:29am

If you put MAD in the vote, everybody would vote for it. I'd just do "Russia wins," "US wins," or "I don't know.'

V1nd1cat0r · Sep 26th 2015, 3:33am

With second strike capabilities no one will be celebrating a victory either way.
Guess it will be based on conventional means than nukes, huh.

This is true. Take Davis Monthan AFB for example. In that one facility there are 4,000 decommissioned aircraft, enough to create the 2nd largest air force in the world. The first largest would be the U.S.

Don't forget all those ships lying in mothball yards. The US have enough ships in just one to potentially beat the entire British navy.
