World War III: USA vs. EU!

Lets imagine that some events happen that escalated between these two factions and war is declared months from now.

What would happen and what would be the outcome.

This country would erupt in revolution, or civil war. There is no way people would support a war with Europe. They are our friends and allies for crissake. The only way this would happen is if McCain was elected and he went completely over the edge. Personally, I find the question absurd.

[sushi]

Personally, I find the question absurd.
Completely agree.

[davidjearly]

Europe would win. :D

No, seriously I can't see this happening. Even if the US is stupid enough as a nation to vote in the republicans again.

[rasmasyean]

Lets imagine that some events happen that escalated between these two factions and war is declared months from now.

The question is not "Would USA and EU ever go to war?"

Besides, you never can predict the future. ;)

So put on your military/political/sociological caps and make some predictions!

[calculus]

We are quite safe here in the EU because the USA doesn't actually know where it is.

On a serious note though this question is just ridiculous. Do you not have anything better to do?


Edit - that wouldn't actually be a World War either would it, seeing as most of the world wouldn't be playing...

Couldn't you say the same about the previous world wars? I don't believe they involved every country in the world.

Because the European countries involved were all colonial "powers" WWI & II certainly were world wide wars…

[calculus]

There were indeed a fair few countries involved in WW2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participants_in_World_War_II).

But if the definition being applied to 'World' is the same as that for the Baseball World Series then I suppose that the proposed WWIII includes more than the world...

While it is a stupid question, no countries are on the same team. Each country is self-preserving. Foreign policy cares little for ideals.

Besides, I'd like to see anyone try to invade Glasgow. Good luck with that.

Russia and China would join the EU and nuclear bombs would rain from the sky across the planet. Most of the world would be wiped out but the USA would lose.

Far to much hubris from the US about how mighty they are. A declining empire with the tactical savy of a school child playing battleships.

Dead easy. Europe can just sit back and wait for the Americans to kill each other and thereby lose by default. After all, with no Brits on their side to shoot at who else are the Yanks going to take out in their famous friendly fire incidents?

Hahaha, so true. Reminds me when they shot at a British helicopter even though Iraq had no Airforce to speak of and certainly no Apaches. Muppets!

[takao]

if it stays a conventional war it sure would be quite costly within the first week for the americans with all the different units stationed throughout mainland europe + UK .. while the air force units perhaps can save their planes (and "only loose all the ground equipment and installations) to some degree, the ground units would very likely be forced to either surrender within a week (no supply routes possible.. thus no extra fuel) or completely annihilated

the US forces also don't have a huge technological advantage so it sure would be a different conflict

a huge plus on the US side would be it's navy which sure would toll EU surface forces in high sea waters but sure would keep out of coastal areas because of the more advanced small EU submarines

in terms of ground forces an initial technology advantage of the US forces would be very soon negated in a longer conflict since many US vehicles already are at the maximum of upgradability(M1 maxed out vs Leopard 2 having upgrade path to 140mm gun)

[Queso]

Let's be honest, the only winner of such a war would be China :D

There is this little thing called international trade too which is really what makes this perposterous...

Well sure, we could 'imagine' all we want but it's just such a bloody unlikely scenario. A more likely scenario would be USA and EU as allies in a war against Russia, or China vs the rest of the world.

As for the outcome of your imagined scenario, well... it's 500 million Europeans (and that's just the EU alone, not all of Europe) vs 300 million Americans. On top of that you have several other countries who would be itching to join the EU just to get the opportunity to kick some American butt. The arab world would be first in line, Russia would be second in line (adding in the nuclear capacity that the EU doesn't have). I'm sure North Korea would be happy to join as well. The only real question is what China would do.

[edesignuk]

Russia would be second in line (adding in the nuclear capacity that the EU doesn't have).The UK and France already have nukes, not as many as Russia or the US, but when it comes nukes numbers don't matter as much.

Hey guys what's going on in this farce of a thread?

The American who started this thread is losing. The Europeans are bringing it, and numerous Americans have decided to go with the Europeans.

I bet China would join the European side, regardless of what the war was about. Russia would side with China, and the EU. China's not going to fight with America, because if there's a chance to become the lone superpower, they may as well take it, no?

What about GPS and other space based weaponology? How would that change some of the Civ 3 military tactics mentioned above?

In this scenario, the most and stable advanced nations go to war. And what would it look like. No more 3rd world involvement. Do you know your country's and the world's defense/economic/political structure?

[Anuba]

Saudi Arabia is the USA's biggest ally. That's why US forces spend so much time enforcing Saudi's foreign policy.
Right, but Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Egypt are not Saudi Arabia. I said "the arab world" which includes the entire middle east and a large part of northern Africa. Apart from Israel and rich small oil states like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, the arab world is rabidly anti-american.

I agree. I cannot imagine the series of events it would take to create this situation. How many Americans do you think would ever support this? the EU would have to be landing troops on our shores before I would pick-up a weapon against them. And if the USA started the war, which would be the only conceivable way I could see this happen (and I still find that a silly-assed notion), I would support the EU. It would not be a matter of patriotism. It would be because I do not support an Imperial America. As we have seen over the past 8 years, the Imperial Presidency has led us to government, never imagined by our founders. One of the first things Obama should do, is meet with the Congressional leadership and restore the system of checks and balances and make it so this can never happen again.

And if we did go to all out war, and either side was winning(I'm inclined to think the EU would, although we do have a decent head start with troops already begin there, so maybe not), either side would use nukes, and then the other side would use them, and everyone would lose. MAD in action!

The USA has anti-missile capabilities I know. But what do some of the countries in EU have that can counter nuclear strikes? ...not counting the anti-missle force in US bases.

nothing is so uniting like an outward common enemy

ignoring the fact that with the EU contract there is already a clause which means EU have to support each other in a defensive attack


if such a conflict would escalate and one side uses nuclear weapons pretty much all sides would use them and the war would turn unwinable anyway
a conventional war on the other side is always worth a discussion since both sides have different strengths and abilities
