Can the US beat Russia in a conventional war?

[jhungary]

that is the exact reason we will help Russia. We will not let russia fall and US become the sole hegemony power in the world.

lol what you say does not make sense

US will nnot be intact if they are to foght Russia. US would be seriously damage after such a war, if China is smart, they will let US destroy the Russia and by then America will be too damage ro challenge China, China will become No1 without even to fight for

So, what are you saying is China will give up the chance to be world no 1 to help Russia fight US? Which in the would at most mean all 3 will ended up in equal term?

we don't want to be a hegemony power like US, and we want a balanced world. That is why we don't have the jungle value like west. for example, we never colonized any area when we were fully capable of in most time of our history.

I doubt if you are Chinese? if you were, you should know the story of Three nations, see how our ancestor play in such scenario?

I don't think so because Russia has like twice the number of tanks the US has, plus Russia has hundreds of thousands of anti tank guided missiles.

Tough question.

Russia has TOS-1 Buratino, Putin and Novorossia.
USA has DSI technology and can built tens of millions of TOW.

Hard to predict the outcome here.

i read somewhere that russia also lost to afghan and pakistani mujahiddins.

If you had a fight with your neighbor and you invite a friend to help you in the fight, If you loose the fight its not your friends defeat...its your defeat.

No one can defeat a country covering half of the planet (figuratively speaking)

In wartime,anything is possible,Russians are masters at adjusting weapon systems.
Btw,it was about the Russians reaching the US.

They have 35-40 submarines all having long range slbm's and 10-12 tu-160 bombers not to mention old tu-95's.
Its not a problem for them.

Standard of this forum has fallen so much that 50 % believe russia will win

First of all, that was the USSR, and I would be most of the so called Russian losses in Afghanistan were Ukrainians.

你知直到三國時期三國不是和平共存嗎?

In fact, it is quite more violent during 3 nations, 5 dynasties and 10 kingdom (五代十國) then when the Greater China were under uniformed command with one single dynasty

So you are saying China want more violent?

If both countries were forced to go to the end conventional style, US will win. However, too much depends on such a war, which isnt worth for the US. Russia is just sufficient strong enough to not make it worth it for the US.

 

[rockstar08]

people keep using this as an example
have you actually checked the losses for Vietnam's side?
yes it was heavy for US but have you seen the massive losses on other side?

Doesnt matter ? cause their were fighting with a invasion force ,and a army 20 times bigger than them , and 100 times more advance then them

They have nuclear subs with some missile power(Bulava SLBM),so they could reach the US if they wanted.

in nuclear war yes , but not in conventional war

yes , so how exactly did US lose?
the war only lost public support.

That's 58,220 families who lost their sons, husbands, fathers. Not to mention a lot more than that were crippled. War isn't pretty. Actually, most of the time Americans let South Vietnamese take the blows while they stay behind the lines. If American soldiers fight Russia, no one will help Americans and Americans would suffer millions of dead.

the war is either win or loss , it depends on the desired Aim's which a invading army set , no Aims Achieved , with 55k Soldiers died and many injured ... its a clear defeat for US ..
