How far do you all think the USA would be able to get in a year if we just started conscripting people and invading countries?
US vs the World?
Russia and China would immediately jump in to cockblock any US ambitions. Whoever upsets the power triangle first loses.
if it was against the whole world the US would undoubtedly be crushed within months
How exactly?
Probably do pretty well until we get to Vietnam.
Nuclear exchange.
We could take all of South America in 3 months with just the Maries we have now.
Send Army and Air to Canada. It falls in 12 days.
Navy surrounds and protects new territories.
>if we just started conscripting people
You would be fighting your own people in the streets
to many fronts, to many piece spread out and weakened, logistics threatened.
In a year they could only get north America some of maybe south completely, and Africa. Probably gain issue against Brazil and Chile.
>navy on the defense
so you essentially blocked yourself, weakened your homeland naval defense. declared war against France and UK.Making it a UN with chinks and rusians come to help.
I was asking user
America is a mutt nation which means during this hypothetical war it would rip itself inside out.
convetional war, USA vs the World, usa would eventually loose, they would resort to Nuclear and the world would too, nobody would win really.
USA on the offense would lose, however could likely defend itself from the world.
>to many fronts, to many piece spread out and weakened, logistics threatened.
Ironically this would be the rest of the world, not the USA.
The US's unrivaled naval power means that it can go anywhere it wants in the world, whenever it wants and annihilate shipping and infrastructure at will. China starves without food, Europe freezes without fuel, after that it's just a matter of slowly bombing EU and Asian industry back into the stone age so that they can't continue to resist in any form.
It takes more then a year just to train new conscripts to be ready for combat.
That's an army reserve unit
Yeah, but lets forget about that and act like every capable man in the USA is now in a branch of the US military, what would happen then?
So you're saying theres a chance?
fewer but better trained and equipped is better then a large herd of rookies
North America, Central and Perhaps southern 1/3 of Latin America.
Africa contested with China, Europe,Russia idkw since if it gets to full blown war it might go into M.A.D.
Europe impossible, maybe parts for countries that agree to host you like Britain and Analbania since that would lead Germany to hype up war effort and buy ton of arms from Russia, maybe even making alliance.
Asia impossible.
Indoasia yes, whole.
Australia yes, whole.
Antarctica yes, whole.
Question is, how much would US maintain so much occupied land and nations while fighting on multiple fronts before it collapses .
Or before nukes start flying around.
