War scenario USA vs. Russia will clash Moscow military due to the invasion of Ukraine is very, very thin. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, and President Obama is unlikely to want to cause another war. But many of the neighbors Ukraine are members of NATO, including Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary. And so are the Baltic countries - Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and - further north and is right on the Russian border.
If one of the country came to help Ukraine and stuck in a war with Russia, NATO is obliged to intervene. It also works in reverse. If we learned anything from World War I, it was a big, bloody conflict could start with a small battles, notably in Eastern Europe.
Once again, the United States vs. Russia war rather unlikely. But what if they do?
If you ask a question that during the Cold War it would be like the freaks Godzilla vs. King Kong, or a big game Batman vs. Superman: More than superpower superpower would prevail in all-out battle? But Russia is no longer the Soviet Union, and military technology they already relatively worn and stopped in 1991. It appears in the budget expenditure militerkedua State.
The US is far richer than Russia and spends more on its military. However, it does not mean the war would be easy for the US to win. Like Napoleon and Hitler were desperately in any way untku win, Russia will sacrifice a lot to win the war, especially in its cage.
So, what would a war between the US and Russia look like? Here are some of the most horrible scenario:
War Scenarios USA vs. Russia # 1: Nuclear Armageddon tub
Even with nuclear disarmament since the end of the Cold War, the US and Russia each have thousands of nuclear warheads ready to launch. For the record, the entire US inventory of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) - 448 Active - basically aimed at Russia. In which hundreds of Russian ICBMs are ready to hit back.
According to the latest tally by the Federation of American Scientists, the US has about 7,700 nuclear warheads, including 1,950 warheads that are ready to be distributed via ICBMs, submarines, and aircraft, plus thousands more in various places waiting to be "cocked". Russia has a little more overall warheads - about 8,500 - but at least 1,800 of them ready to operate. China, in comparison, has about 250 nuclear warheads, less than France (300) and fewer still from England (225).
Clear nuclear war would kill both of them.
War Scenarios USA vs. Russia # 2: A conventional war in Eastern Europe
Let's assume a hypothetical US-Russian war broke out in Ukraine, and that more NATO troops for the troops, ships, and US aircraft. Unlike in Asia-Pacific, where the United States is often offset by China, NATO actually provide the strongest alliance for the US in the face of Russia.
The dynamics of the first is that Russia will have home field advantage: Russian navy has long called the Crimea as his home, and Russia was so close geographically to the Ukraine, one somersault up. But on the other hand, the United States and its allies around the Russian.
Along with a large number of bases in Germany, the US has a major military installation in Qatar and the Diego Garcia atoll in the south of Russia and Japan and South Korea to the east. NATO, France, and Britain even closer, because this map from The Telegraph shows:
Moreover, NATO has a base around the perimeter of western Russia and in Turkey, just across the Black Sea from Ukraine. What about Russia? They do not have a base outside the former Soviet Union.
Russia is estimated to have 845,000 active troops, with as many as 2.5 million more in reserve forces. But many military observers are not impressed, for the Russian military observers
