Think about it. The ONLY way they could really give us a run for our money would be if we invaded them.

Does anyone even think anyone right now (Exluding EU/NATO countries) could possibly stand a chance in a conventional war?

I'm not exactly an expert on the topic, but I get the feeling that even EU/NATO countries would end up getting their asses whooped....

But that's just my personal opinion.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart Mill

Lol. I think we could own EU and i KNOW we can handle any single NATO nation.... just ya know, they're not really against us. But i do believe EU could give us a run for our money (As i'm hearing its combining all of europes army). Not to mention france germany and britian together would be tough to oppose.

How could China defeat us when we are China? They're an investment. Why fight the country that hired you to build it's GI Joes? They work for us.

I am sure if the time was right Putin(USSR) would like to catch us above the 38th Parell then we would have to deal with USSR N Korea and Red China.I saw on the news where Putin has only one thing on his mind and that is to become a Zar and it will probley happen.It just might happen if China attempts to overun Tawian.

It's their structures to unwind, yet how is a war with us going to happen if we once again start pointing our massive nukes at both of these ex-supposed great whatevers. China is not what people think it is and land erosion, overpolulation and pollution can back me up on that.

There are wars and there are wars. One could argue that a China/North Vietnam alliance beat the US already in the 60's.

If it helps, let's imagine a scenario where ABM technology becomes so cheap and effective that ICBMs are effectively neutralized.

They did'nt beat America in Vietnam. Read up and also ponder as to why we could'nt pursue those dim bulbs as with Germany.
