America could win a war against the entire world and here is why

[Wyatt earp]

Suppose the entire world declared war on America, the USA could beat them simply because the USA don't need the middle East oil, just shut down the shipping lanes they would run out of oil and the economies would crash and burn.


If we needed more oil just attack Canada or venezuela.

The world put together doesn't have an invasion fleet to land on American soil..


Discuss and no nukes allowed..

...there are not many examples [ if any ] of modern [ post 1900? ] of a country being totally defeated/unconditional surrender without ''total'' destruction/invasion...
..France WW2, but Germany lost that war
....a what if scenario that has to many ambiguities/etc
the US could not ''beat'' them [ define beat ] ...

 

[HenryBHough]

No need to fight a war. Simple removal of American armed forces from other countries would cause economic collapse. Germany first.

Crush the economies by holding the shipping lanes hostage from the middle East sink a few tankers and block the straight.

China gets 50% of it's oil now from the middle East.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Remember this is the entire world declaring war on the USA, how will they get here?

the US could not even defeat tiny North Vietnam
unless you invade a country and ''destroy'' it, you don't get a victory
....so England, France, Britain, Japan, Italy and the Russian [ etc ] Navies would just sit in their harbors??
..this scenario is too wild

 

[rightwinger]

We can nuke the world

That would show them

 

[harmonica]

We can nuke the world

That would show them

What the ever living fuck?


How did Americans of the 19th century go from not wanting to get involved in the worlds fucked up affairs, to Americans of the 20th century go from keeping the peace and security of the world, to Americans of the 21st century having the attitude of we can go to war with and conquer the planet?

Ho Chi Minh actually wanted the US to at least recognize a free Vietnam
....but then we were friends with France and helped France fight '''rebels''' in a Revolutionary War--like our own!!
...but they were ''EVIL'' communists--so we were fighting communism--but it was all for NOTHING:

the Dominoes:
Vietnam
Cuba/Bay of Pigs
Cambodia
Laos/etc
all LOST to the communists--but the USA is still here!!!!!!!

No nukes...my premise is holding the middle East oil shipping lanes hostage, so they run out of oil...

we don't have the ships available to fight AND guard the shipping lanes
what about land routes/etc?

....this is like a lot of ''what if'' scenarios where one side is a snowman = they just sit there and do nothing

 

[Wyatt earp]

Once again thread is all about the rest of the world declaring war on the USA ( Because they hate Trump so much)

A. How do the get troops to North America? They have no landing craft

B .How do they fight our military plus American miltia with 300 million guns?


Discuss..
