US this, US that. Russia this russia that.
If China went to war with Japan, US wouldn't give a toss. It'd sit back shitting itself unless called upon. Why? China is the new superpower. Every country knows this, if they were to go head-on with any country, they have the high probability of succeeding in war.
If China went to war, India, unless called upon, wouldn't help them. If called upon, it's a triangle. China calls india, who calls russia, who brings ww3. They're the deadly circle. However, on the other end, you have, US, UK, US influence on EU. So you're looking at a balance of power everywhere. Then again, the UK would be nothing in war, it's a fact.
Anyway back to the point at hand. China can strike at anytime, if it takes out Jap, America will be it's next target, or India. They'll go two faced on any country in a second, cause they can. If that happens, India and Russia like good ol

Your forgetting the 2 big underdog's in World War 3 scenario. If came down to a fight
US/ Europe/ Israel/ Japan
-----VS-----
Russia/China(Maybe India, thought they can been on either side but we siding them with china)
2 countries would join the US side and in the end win(granted it would take time but would come out in a win).
US is in military alliances with BOTH
Australia/New Zealand
They would be massive players in military support they are close enough to strike missiles into the mainland of Asia but far enough to prevent land troops from attacking. Also they would be good staging points for navies.
---AND---
Brazil
(Quote) "Major export products include aircraft, electrical equipment, automobiles, ethanol, textiles, footwear, iron ore, steel, coffee, orange juice, soybeans and corned beef."
That right there says they can in a total war scenario EASILY
I was going about the main countries that would be involved, but if we're talking about underdogs, you're forgetting a few.
Cuba, Saudia Arabia, Mexico and Iran.
Before i go any further, i don't have a grudge against the US, rather i'm just trying to predict the outcome by being unbaised.
Anyway, Cuba is already on the doorstep of the US, and is known to have been supplied heavy weaponry from the USSR. Maybe not a extensive amoount, but they have got enough to strike at the US, hard. Not to mention if they did start, Mexico and no doubt the drug cartels in colombia would aid them. Colo and Mexi don't have a good relation with the US, i wonder why... If Brazil got involved, they might become the secondary target, unless they sided with the Asia group. Granted they have economical goods, but i think if Colo and Mexi was involved, they'd be of no use. Mainly because they'd block the transport routes vi
Are you kidding me , China ,U.S ,Russia or japaan have no intention of going to war . China is on the verge of becoming a massive economic super power , they dont need a war . Russia is also on the up with there vast resources , they dont need or want a war . The U.S has far to much military in the middle east which are supplied from a very fragile line , they would be cut off and lost .
If there was a war no one would win , do you really think we could beat and occupy two vast nations like China and Russia , come on get real , a lot of people would die for nothing . As for the cooment that UK is nothing , 65 million people would disagree .
According to the Bible and prophecy, there will be wars and there will be rumor of wars. These must happen and we must not worry. Well unless you are an evil person. ha ha ha ha I put my faith in God and don't concern myself with anything else.
No one said they had the intention of going to war, we're talking about the probability of what would happen if something did spark off.
China isn't on the verge, it IS the superpower. Russia is a military run country. The vast majority of it's income comes from developing arms and selling them to other countries. The US as i stated before, could / may use those measures if a war was started.
You clearly don't have a grasp of what 'winning' a war could entail. You don't always have to occupy a country for it to be a win. Jeez, research some more before you type trash like that, or at least gain some common sense.
Your last comment ' As for the cooment that UK is nothing , 65 million people would disagree ' that truly is hilarious lol. You think we're actually, influential in a war? China would flick their boogie at us and we'd be stuck for a decade lol
Sunshine, are you from the UK? Where abouts?
Aye i am luv.
Wolverhampton - West Midlands.
Yourself? UK or US?
"65 million people would disagree ' that truly is hilarious lol. You think we're actually, influential in a war? " WoW I was pretty impressed with 2 para and the marines I served with as a US soldier not sure they would agree nor I
I'm on da other side of the big pond, in the US.
No war going happen.
China is never ever going to be an economic superpower, their government doesn't have an infrastructure for a very important resource needed, labor. Those that believe they are attempting to improve it, wages have actually been sinking lower despite news traveling Foxxcon and other reputable slave labor camps. The industries inside China have had a harsh first two quarters and so major crime is peeling back even more of that infrastructure. You can't run a country where the government decides people don't need any of life's essentials.
If their was a war, Mexico would side with the US. Cuba would be a wild card, and come down to bribes. Saudi Arabia would side with the US. Pakistan would be a better projection, there economy is solide (compared to most) and have a huge manpower with a larger emphasis on the big picture over their own lives.
South Korea and Japan are the most indus
Drew,
I'm not sure how you can actually emphasize that China is not going to become a superpower. It already IS. When it comes down to war, any country would sacrifice a few pennies / cents for the larger pound / dollar, thus, i can't agree on the statement 'You can't run a country where the government decides people don't need any of life's essentials'.
Mexico would NOT side with the US unless a large bribe was given. However, the US could call a clean slate or say it'd be a truce, by clearing Mexico officials from the 24th Aug 2012 shooting on their embassy vehicle if they agreed to become allies. Yes they have great ties economically, but not when it boils down to war. Cuba is with Russia, which is with China. End of discussion. No bribe could / would change that. Saudi Arabia wouldn't side with the US, unless heavily bribed. Again, they have good economic ties with the US, primarily through arms de
Palm, i might change my mind, if i get into the RAF as a pilot :P
Lore, come visit me!
If we were involved in a new world war then yes 65 millin people would be influential in a war ,just like they were in the last two world wars , read youre history eh .
The way i understood it , China is one of the biggest growing markets in the world , which is the reason why all the big corporatians wants in on it and the reason why they are doing so well at the present , while the rest off us are trying to stop the shrinking .
Listen, if The Cockney Army got involved it would be game over in a day.

So how would you invisage a win would look like with a war with China and Russia ?
Quote " China would flick their boogie at us and we'd be stuck for a decade lol "
So how would they flick there boogies ? by ship , plane or car ? Show me a war that did not have some form of land occupation ? I think you are very niave with youre comments .
Quote " Russia is a military run country. The vast majority of it's income comes from developing arms and selling them to other countries."
So what would happen if they cut off the Gas supply ? To say Russia ows must of its wealth to arms dealling is simply stupid .
Haven't you heard of China's new strategic weapon?
The giant booger catapault.
