Who would win WWIII?

In a conventional war, Russia and US would destroy the hell out of each other, Neither would win, only the media will state a winner, but really, there would be no winner, they are both well equipped and have state of the art technology. While I will always side (and fight) for Russia, I respect US and hope there won't be a war, and if there will be, both sides WILL suffer heavily, and NO good will come from it. And for those who underestimate Russia, why don't you do a little read on Russia's military and capabilities and its combat history. Is Russia at war right now? No! Wonder why? But US, too is very very powerful, they are two very powerful countries that should try to use their power for good, not destruction, work together to try to make the world at least slightly a better place.

In a nuclear war, I would run out in front of the nukes so that I would be the first to die, because anyone not dead will suffer the worst pain and suffering there is. Everything, sooner or later will be exterminated. If enough nukes are used (which is probably the case) EVERYTHING will be destroyed.

We hardly have enough info here to answer the question.

American/European hardware and doctrine have a fading edge but an edge none the less, but that's not the whole story.

It's been said that ameteurs study tactics, professionals study logistics. Logistics depend in large part on when and where the war is, who makes the first move and how succesful they are in that.

China, Russia, India, etc don't have the naval power to logistically support a long war outside of Asia. If they moved on Europe a second front in Central Asia would cut India and China at least partially out of the fight and force Russia to move any support from those nations across Sibera without the benefit of intact rail lines and the US would be able to fight a primarily defensive campaign on good terrain there with an economy of ground and air forces, and the Europeans would prove equal to the task in their theater.

Of course that's for armchair generals because Russia/China/(possibly)India wouldn't move on Europe.

A limited war to undermine US interest in Africa or Southern Asia or the Middle East would be concievable under extreme circumstances (they'd probably just use proxies and stay out themselves in most realistic circumstances though).
They couldn't win it in Africa for lack of the Naval forces at present to support a large operation there.

They'd have a better chance in Iran/Iraq/NE Saudi Arabia. They start to lose the homecourt advantage if they get too close to the Red Sea or the Med, or too far south on the Arabian peninsula.


On the flip side, while America could easily keep them in their corner of the world for the next 20 years or so, their corner of the world is slowly growing, and the US can't do as it pleases in their corner of the world. If China it is a given that China will get involved, the US can't take the offensive against North Korea anymore. The cost of defending Taiwan already outweighs the probable consequences for the US. US ability to defend South Korea could be undeniably gone within a decade in my view, and Japan could follow within another 5 or 10 years.

This is because of advances in China's brown water capabilities and missile forces, which hinders our logistics and protects their artillery from our airpower to a certain degree, meaning we can no long take good ground and expect to slaughter them at ratios in excess of 6:1, because they're gonna be able to lay off and pound on us without fearing that we will create a hole and seize control of the operational tempo and we won't always be able to provide enough munitions in a timely fashion to make a smaller force hold up against repeated efforts from a larger force.

When China develops a large nuclear submarine force, most of the world becomes a no-go zone for both sides whenever the other is willing to oppose- they really have to go nuclear even if their diesels are good simply because a diesel sub has to present itself as a target whenever it needs more fuel and intelligence is just too good to allow that anymore. That's the standoff point at which the hemispheres become divided and building up strong allies in the third world becomes absolutely critical. Whoever has friends in North Africa and Central Asia who can hold their own for a couple of months holds sway over the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Mexico and Brazil become the keys to to South America.

Of course, all that being said, it just plain won't happen. Soft power is in. Everybody gets it. I think even America gets it, but America thinks that the key to softpower is to derive influence over many weak nations through hard power, and consolidate their soft power along with ours in the future.

WWIII is scheduled to occur soon, and the winners will be the same big money globalists that won the first two, and indeed every war for the last 150 yrs or so. They will make a fortune off of the arms sold, and the money lent to purchase them. They will use the chaos created to consolidate their power and move us finally into the single world gov they’ve been dreaming of for so long. And those of us who survive will get to see it. Won’t that be fun? What will be fun is seeing them get the judgment they’re due, some 3.5 yrs later. I for one am willing to put up with all manner of deprivation to see that.
