America is unable to function by itself and is on tour to implode. How are they going to win a war, no one in the country is willing to put up a real fight either.

It is the most divided political landscape on the planet right now, on the brink of a potentional civil war, which is the only fight they will do if they decide to grow a spine.

Which America are you referring to? North, meso, or south?

In case you are referring to the United States of, they are losing allies and partners fast. They would have to fight wars on many fronts and that never ends well.

Furthermore, they are moving towards a civil war, so one of their fronts will be on their own soil.

Their arrogance and entitlement will prolong the war, but in the end, they’ll lose.

I honestly don’t believe humanity survives WWIII.

The only winners will be the people selling the guns.

No one wins.

I can’t make head or tails of who would be fighting whom in that war.

If a WW was to break tomorrow, it would probably be because of Trump making true his threats to attack NATO in order gain definite control over Greenland?

Probably USA would be its own side without allies?
Then there would probably be NATO as one side, most likely with Australia and Japan on the same team as NATO. And, I’d say, probably all of Southern and Central America.
And the Russia and Iran with China? Pakistan would probably be on their side, so India would seek something else. More likely NATO than USA?

But then again, WWIII would be such a big deal that it feels weird imagining it might end up a three-sided war. The loosest piece on this board is USA… If it allies with one of the sides, will that side be that of NATO or that of the Russia?

Hm. Well, if it allies with China and the Russia, it gets super difficult for NATO to keep shit together. Then again, the Canadian border is not all that far away from DC, and Latvia is not far away from Moscow. We’d probably also have Ukraine on our side, and they can teach a lot about modern warfare!

All in all: If USA manages to ally with someone, that side is likely to win. If it remains alone, it will probably lose. I would say that in a situation where USA doesn’t ally with anyone, NATO would be the side losing the least.

But, in the end nobody wins in a war.

I’d get the Japanese American treatment. 👀

(I’m Chinese American)

So it depends on what you mean by “America”…

The constitution? Nah, its definitely dead and buried in a ww3 scenario.

Rich cis-het white conservative christian men? Yea they’d win, if you count living in a bunker¹ with trigger happy soldiers/security ready to overthrow them as a “win”; I bet the entire bunker will go into psychological breakdown after no outside + sunlight for a year.

¹Cuz Nukes went 💥🌇

Who are the allies of each side?

That’s a very complicated question.
Which nations are on which sides?
What’s the competing ideologies?
What was the inciting incident?

Without those details and many more, nobody could hope to predict.

The US would lose faster than most, as it is a higher priority target for nuclear weaponry.

Nobody wins. Someone just gets control of the official narrative.

But who’s the “you” you’re asking here?

The question shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of war. The purpose of war is to defeat your enemy and make them lose, it was never about making you win.

Its not like a video game where you just deal enough damage or accumulate enough points and your adversaies give up to grant you a victory.

War is an eternal conflict until the last man is standing. Its never been about winning always about not losing.

We should do our very best to make sure it doesn’t…
