Pener Kropoopkin posted:"In our games, when we fight Russia and China, 'blue' gets its rear end handed to it," David Ochmanek, a RAND warfare analyst, explained at the Center for a New American Security on Thursday, Breaking Defense first reported. US forces are typically color-coded blue in these simulations." Found the Project for the New American Century rebrand Also the only wargame that somewhat accurately simulates fighting Russia and China is literally Defcon

Seriously though, any serious military conflict between the major nuclear armed powers would be over in an hour, regardless of the state of the rest of their conventional military. And also in all seriousness, one hour is probably an exaggeration in the amount of time it would take. Like from what I understand, during the cold war, NATO policy on any invasion from beyond the iron curtain was to be retaliated with by immediately launching the missiles, end of question

The only concevible way I could think of where WWIII could start and not have things immediately light up is if there is a massive breakdown of society or revolution in one of the existing world powers which then devolves into basically a massive Syria style clusterfuck. All of the remaining powers would then give massive support to their own faction within the dying country and the whole thing would turn into a massive proxy war. In this way none of the other powers homelands would come directly under threat, but the power jockeying within the dying power would be used to affect the geopolitical and economic position of the rest of the planet. Basically, my vision of WWIII is a 21st century 30 Years War.

The best way to win a conventional war is to make fewer mistakes than your enemy

And now the M16 (well, the AR-15 civilian counterpart) is worshipped as a religious relic by half the country lol

There is still an open question on how the US will react if one of those carriers gets sunk though. Someone in another thread called them floating aquilas and I wonder how badly Biden or Trump would curse Quintilius Varus if they went down
