Poll: [If] England and America just went to war...

[Thaluikhain]

And even if we did think of using it, just what, three modern nukes would pretty much blanket the entire UK in lethal radiation whilst taking out all major cities.

No, initiating even a one megaton nuclear device in London would not leave much of London intact. On the other hand, the UK would be attacked by several hundred devices, and the attack doesn't need to kill everyone, only to destroy the society, which is much easier.

As an American, I would likely just hide in the mountains and just keep away from the war. Why? Chinese invasion. While the US and Britain are fighting, if the US does go full out (excepting nukes), that would leave the entire West Coast unguarded.

China cannot invade the US, or anyone else it does not share a land border with, as it has no deep water navy. But, yes, there should be an option for "support the UK/US after one week when both sides are crippled"

All I can say is that I bet our nuclear subs are probably hiding near the UK (as well as who knows how many other places). So... if anything happened, a few missiles could get launched before any sort of other attack even took place.

Wouldn't matter if they were, silos based missiles are quite capable of immediately destroying the UK as a nation. On the other hand, the UK also has this ability (IIRC, they also have to have a quicker response time, as missiles from the USSR would arrive earlier, their procedures were created with that in mind).

We have enough missiles and counter measures to knock them out of the sky, still wouldn't be pretty, still.

As I understand it, the US has sufficient counter measures to ensure the majority of potential targets survive, but it wouldn't take many successful attacks to destroy the US society.

America


Because the other side colonized us (UAE)

 

[redisforever]

What, again? They did this many, many years ago. Not the thread, but they had a war, I mean.

 

[Lethos]

Lets See. I'm American, so I'm pretty sure I know where my country's loyalties lie. XD

But thinking about it from an outside view. Canada cant really afford to side with either side when they're so close ot the US and one of their biggest allies is Britain, France hates both, Germany... toss up? Ireland would probably side with America, and we all know how good the IRA are at what they do.

I dont really know anyone who would side with anyone, outside of Ireland, just cause if the US is your ally, odds are Britain is too, and vice versa.

France doesn't hate us (Britain), we share a military now
Not to mention House is British. I'm pretty sure he could restore our entire military everyday.

In all honesty though, we'd be fucked.

 

[Lilani]

I'll side with the nation that has the largest air force in the world, the infrastructure to put those planes over any patch of dirt on this planet within 24 hours, men and women capable of getting them there, and the ordinace to level whatever the fuck is underneath those planes.


In short, sorry England, you're the 51st state. We'll leave Top Gear alone, though.

True that. I mean really, looking at it that way, it's like pitting middle schoolers against the Hell's Angels. There's not really any question as to who's going to win.

 

[Kenko]

Big Brother giving Little Brother a spanking? We shall remain neutral and laugh at both of you when we watch the news.

With love from Sweden, the biggest pussies of this century.

 

[ELD3RGoD]

Britain would win. We held off Germany on our own.

Not to mention if America attacked, Russia would finally get their chance along with China, North Korea, Canada, Europe etc etc.

Sure, the UK would be an island under the ocean, but then again, with over half the planet attacking America, so would they.

Theoretically ofcourse.

Nukes probably wouldn't be used due to civilians and then we have the better special forces and Navy and RAF, albeit smaller.

Honestly though, lets just stay friends and argue over Xbox live/Steam.

 

[ffian1]

As a Scotsman, England can get whatever it deserves. As someone living in England, fully aware of America's military dominance, please don't blow me up. (edit: assuming no other countries get involved)

I'd probably scoot off to Canada or Finland though, if this ever happened. Canada should probably hold Alaska ransom and tell them both to go away.

 

[moose_man]

Doesn't matter who picks who; the Doctor will side with England, ergo, they will win.

 

[Dogstile]

I'm British and I don't give a fuck either way. As long as my friends and family aren't affected, you guys can have your wars.

The second we get occupied and one of my friends or family gets hurt? Well damn, imma stab someone.

 

[WanderingFool]

what?

AGAIN!?

What would that be? the Third time?

 

[noogai18]

Well, if for some reason this insanity occurred, I'd probably side with America. Being American, y'know?

Although on the upside, we do like the English, Scots, and Irish enough that we wouldn't turn the British Isles into a crater day one.

 

[Palindromemordnilap_v1legacy]

I'd side with Britain, being british (I went with the poll's fourth option btw), but I'd hardly be optimistic about our chances. Our governments have screwed the economy up so bad we can't even afford aircraft carriers anymore

 

[dementis]

Kinda stupid question, for one thing us English would be able to do bugger all seeing as we're like...1/100th the size of the USA if not smaller and our government just gladly bends over to please America at all times.

 

[Evil the White]

I think I'll side with Britain, seeing as I live there... Then I would vote for surrender before I get nuked.

 

[Daffy F]

Russia being bound by certain laws, it would remain neutral. no bear cavalry for you Obama.

I like this.

I'm English, and I think that this is no way fair fight. I'd side with Enlgand, sure, but there's no way we could win against one of the world's largest military superpowers. That said (assuming no nukes were fired) I think we could do some damage. I wonder what the Taliban would think?

 

[FlashHero]

But i don't want to fight the English...can't we settle are differences and fight some third-world countrys like the old days .

 

[Smokej]

From Germanys standpoint it's England for sure. I can't imagine a World Cup without the english squad failing at the group stage

 

[Andalusa]

I'm not overly patriotic... but seeing as I live here (and it is blatantly the better country) I will have to side with England. Even though we'd probably lose.

 

[Elvoret]

Although i'm British, I don't think we'd have much of a chance. Y'know, because the US has more nukes and a way bigger armed forces. It doesn't help that France would have to agree with us if we wanted to do much, we've already slashed millitary funding a ton. Which isn't such a bad thing, except in this hypothetical situation.

Without nukes? Unless they blasted us to dust we maybe wouldn't give in. We'd still lose, but we're too stubborn to accept loss.

Wasn't a thread like this posted ages ago?
