Hi WW3 enthusiats. As i travel through the internet people are thinking about a possibility of a World War 3. They put certain countries into these senarios and im going to say why these wont happen. Senario by senario
(Note when i say mobalisation I mean the call up of fit Men between the ages of 19 and 30, the reason why women wouldnt be called up is for a different thread).
1. USA vs China
This is probably a favorite. There are many versions of this whether its the USA and NATO or just the US and China with allies or just china.
Im going to answer the all possible scenarios. The first one is just the USA vs China. Now before we do anything we have to look at money and trade.
China,
China is the worlds greatest exporter of all goods and more than a third goes to the USA. If war was to occur china will lose a huge buffer to its economy and will likely not be able to afford to moblalise its massive population. Nor would it have the money to manufacture weapons for its army.
China's exports would be hugely depleted if all the US allies joined too.
USA
The USA's economy is at its weakest since the great depression. it like all its major allies is cutting defense to a sutable level. In case of mobalisation it would go bankrupt in days.
Now lets take a look at the military side of things, First armies.
China
China has the largest army in the world. this is actually a major disadvantage.
Ok that may sound stupid but numbers in modern warfare are not good. With explosive with a 30 meter diametre explosion and mortars in use 100s of troops could be killed in seconds if a ground war was to occure and china was to use its mobalised troops in large attacks.
Chinas numbers would only be an advantage if you take into account how many fronts they could fight on, reiforcements and occupation.
USA
The american army is recieving cuts making its army even smaller. Under mobalisation they have a lack of numbers to fight on all necercerry fronts or reinforcements.
Now lets look at air forces.
There are many aspects to it so i will look at 2 main things for this part
Technology and numbers. (its important to note that the planes capability greatly effects how many number of planes will be required to shoot down another, also air forces does not include navy planes which will be in the navy section)
China
China's air force is on the rise with new planes being delivered every week. However their arsenal for now is mainly 4th gen which are very vunerable to SAMS (surface to air missiles) which are hard to evade. The 5th gen planes under development will be less capable but cheaper than their american counterparts. These aircraft will be called the J-20 and 21 both fairly stealthy.
Despite this there will likely not be nearly as many planes in the chinese air force than the american as the americans have many planes in their arsenal from the cold war.
USA
Americas air force is the largest in the world with state of the art technology being devoloped. However the most advanced fighter in the world the F-22 has limited numbers in service (about 200) and will probably only be used in defence. Despiite this it will be superior to chinese technology. The F-35 will be the front line fighter of the air force doing all the tough stuff. Despite this the F-35 is flawed in many aspects in reviews done by the pentagon. However the staple plane will be the F-16 and F-35 with F-15 serving frontline air superiority. The f-16 and 15 are non steathy and therefore easy targets for SAMS.
Now lets look at navys.
(Navy air capability included)
The Chinese navy has few carriers in comparison to the us and none will be capable to fly 5th gen planes that can evade sams. Carrier capablity will only be of use for land invasions and not for full naval combat with the us. The submarine service is inferior to us capablity and could be sunk quickly by destroyers.
The US navy has 20 carriers of all types in service. However all planes are 4th gen and are under threat from sams. Gerald R. Ford Fleet carrier designed to carry 5th gen planes will enter service soon but in limited numbers. However there is significant threat to us carriers due to new chinese cruise missles that are very accurate and could put a carrier out of service or even sink it. Despite US subs are the second most capable in teh world (after great britains Astute class)
Nuclear
This section is for all nations mentioned. MAD (Mutally assured destruction) this theoretically stops everyone from useing nuclear weapons and is not ever likely being used.
The Koreas and allies
This is the most likely to occur. However it would be a swift south Korean victory and im not going to go into to much detail but the reason why is because the north has no allies to to the fact that china has soured relationships with north korean diplomats due to poor recent diplomatic behavior with the west. Also weapons capability of the north is very weak in missle and they would only have the advantage at the start given they would pobably start the war and would have more troops than the south until allies arrive.
Russia vs the west
If you remember the cold war than you would know that tentsions between russia and the west were like now with ukraine times 100 and even then war did not break out. Russia iis way poorer than it was and apart from its nuclear arsenal it hasnt got much else. Its air force is decent and it has a sphere of influence. Its army is mainly made of conscripted peasants and inferior tanks im comparison to abrams and similar tanks. not to mention the fact that russias economy is in shambles not to mentions that if they attacked the west they would be facing many very capable nations inclueing the entierety of western Europe which is when combined about as powerful as russia with the inclusion of Eastern Europe and the US they stand not chance.
With Russia MAD is in effect.
Syria War breakout
The answer to why there will be no intevention from the west to help the rebels is because one of the rebel organisations is a part of al-quada and will gain support from the new govenment if the rebels win. Pretty obvious why there will be no intervention and therefore no war.
you may of noticed that my final 3 were fairly breif due to the fact im out of time.
Give me more senarios to counter!
