Don't know why everyone is thumbing down people who say the Western powers would win.



1. Europe contains three major powers (UK, Germany and France) which by themselves would be more than a match for a sino-russian alliance. Add the dozens of smaller countries and you a massive army.



2. China's military is VASTLY overrated. Yes they have millions of men but they do not have nearly the logistic capabilities to support even a fraction of those men outside their own borders.



3. Numbers count for **** in modern warfare. Just look at Iraq, they had one of the largest armies on earth but they were destroyed easily. What counts in modern days is training and equipment, both of which are abundant in Europe/US/Australia and is lacking in Russia/China (but to a lesser extent in Russia).



4. The Western countries are as of now very experienced due to the recent conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. Russian and Chinese forces have not been engaged in any major conflicts and experience is a MAJOR factor in deciding a battle.



TBH the only country that would prove a threat would be Russia but they despite having decent equipment and training could not stand up to 4 major powers and heaps of smaller countries.

The EU consists of most of europe that is the most powerful continent if it was combined and the US has numbers Europe has the muscle and Germany probably would have conquered russia if they were not fighting a two front war and the russians lost more than 25 million in the process of that war and china has the longest standing army however no where near as well trained as european countries in the end EU and USA would win due to technology, weapons, tactics, training and discipline

Without Nukes right?

The Red Army, although depleted, would take Europe entire within 7 days. Geographically, the "West" would have far too much scope of battle, you'd be asking a LOT to bomb the entire Asiatic.

The Russians have shown how they can fight from within and without, suffer huge losses and still remain a potent force. Anyone see what happened when New York lost a few buildings? Stock market crash, National Mourning and confusion. Pearl Harbour?

What about if the US was to lose NYC, Washington DC and LA? The US has never been tested in modern warfare fighting a defencive battle on their home soil. Defencive fighting has always proven to be the Achilles Heel of the US military take a look at recent history for proof of that.

That said, offensively they have to be the best at the moment, although facing a war of attrition and being a Democratic Free Republic will cost them dearly if they hope to fight and win against other more nationalistic nations.



If it was a bizarre fight to the death, then sheer numbers would count China and Russia winning hands down. In reality, it would all be over after a week with Europe being annexed as part of Russia and the US losing the will to fight a war at home.

Not so heard of Stalingrad ww2? 250000 Germans 100000 Nazi allies 2500 tanks total air superiority facing 30000 Russians 30 Tanks no air cover n held the Nazi armies when reinforcements came Russians counter attacked n took the German army prisoners today Russians are still massively outnumbered n only the British army is close to them the others are way down their Missiles are the Best both their ICBMs their SAMs their fighter planes are way better than us fighter jets, are they better than the Eurofighters with RAF pilots? not sure about this if war broke out its going nuclear Russians are vastly outnumbered over 10 to 1 n they will use their Superior missiles with Nukes I hope we all do no war breaks out for the sake of the globalist/bankers/elitist as so many innocent people will suffer but if God forbid it does its No winners only losers who can live in a nuclear winter that might last centuries? this is Not like ww2 that was fought for freedom from fascism this IS for control of the world for the benefits of he very few why should so many die for their benefits

China and Russia strictly because both countries have enormous amounts of people, and in WW2 russia won the battle of Stalingrad, not by superior fighting tactics but because the had sooooooo many soldiers to throw at the germans, and in total the russians lost around a million soldiers. Now combine their military and china and now you have the a military alliance which if they wanted to could raise an army that would be in the millions. So i strictly believe that china and russia would win, not because of their superior tech (which isnt the case, the U.S.'s tech is still more advanced) but because they would have so many soldiers to throw at us that wed be overwhelmed.

What worldwide places are in touch on your hypothetical international war? What worldwide places are aligned with what different worldwide places? while is this war happening? What led to the war? Does the war stay known or pass nuclear? devoid of different advice, i could ought to assert Greenland wins. (palms down)

The victor (no-one "wins") would be whichever side has the UK on it, and definitely that side if Germany and France are on it as well.

the US, EU and Austraila. china just has numbers but the US has the techonolgy, and with the EU thats practiclly all of Europe combined with the US. that would just be a tragedy for any other country. and Russia has some techonolgy but they arn't as powerful as they were in the USSR days

The West (including Australia and other allies). Our armies are well trained, sophisticated and disciplined. Fighting is what we do and we do it well, regardless of what others say. There is nothing more powerful than the alliance of Europe, UK, Australia, Canada and America.



Together we stand...divided we fall.
