    If no nukes are involved, and USA isn't trying to invade Russia, USA curbstomps this victory.

    If nukes are involved, USA still probably curbstomps.


    You have no idea how large the disparity is in US military spending and the rest of the world's military spending if you think this would even be a close contest. On top of that USA is allies with and has military bases in all of the top strategic places all over the world. China and Russia do not have that network.


    Russia and China's only chance is if USA is trying to invade and occupy Russia, as that country is historically impossible to invade. Even then, Russia and China would only have a slim chance.

    Individually, no. US ability to project power across the globe isn't something any other conventional force can match.

    I never understood this notion of Russia and China "teaming up" against us. Neither likes each other very much and each actually would rather be the sole superpower.

    Interesting. Always thought this was other way around.

    Why don't they like each other ?

    We could cut our military budget in half and still crush the rest of the world in no-holds bar warfare.

    Can only have one big kid on the block. Too close, ethnically and culturally very different.

    They aren't outwardly aggressive or antagonistic, but they're certainly competing for influence in the same neighborhood and have been for decades in the wake the USSR's collapse and abandonment of socialism. No one wants the biggest bully on the block right on their border.

    Yeah, the western hemisphere would be a scary place if even one of these countries had half the military and economy that we do.

    Russia/China

    Muricans like to prance around with their spending without realizing Russia/China have made/been making stuff that downs and sinks specifically their 1 trillion dollar jets and glorious carrier battlegroups in an incredibly cost efficient manner

    USA's military budget is so bloated because they're spread across the world with their armies which is exactly the reason they would lose to a juggernaut army of combined china and russia forces

    Why do people even think this is a possibility (beyond the political ties element), I mean, it's not like any parties involved can sneak up on each other, and nukes would prevent any real war. It's either a cold war, or we all get blown up.
