  1.  @jimmyb7479  Turkey is not in Europe. Only some portion of Istanbul is. And you are forgetting Greece, Ukrain and Poland.

  2.  @gabrielputz5851  France would crush Turkey? Lmao. France may come out on top in the end but it would be insanely close with huge losses to France. Are we talking about conquering Europe or just beating each other for fun? Because if former is the case, good luck to UK, France and Germany. France could not even hold ill equipped Algerians when revolts started. Though UK and France have nuclear weapons, so they'll ultimately conquer.

  3.  @gabrielputz5851  Russia manufactures its weapons alone. Only France in Europe does it. Rest of European countries are either dependent on each other or US. Millitary budget isn't worth anything. Saudi Arabia has a huge millitary budget. Would it be able to defend itself against Iran? Nope. You people are superficial about everything. Nowadays, European countries are weak millitarily. I have absolutely no doubt that Russia will smack all 3 of them at once.

  4.  @ha-kx9we  China is a threat to US economically not millitarily. China has started making its own weapons. Yes. Where have they been tested? US has tested its weapons in Middle East and Afghanistan. Russia has done the same in Syria. Where has China done such thing?

  5.  @stephencrompton4352  UK, France and Germany cannot even think of invading Russia. It is impossible. Even China and USA - combined - can't do that. Russia, on the other hand, can invade UK, France and Germany. It will be tough but Russia will conquer. Also, both sides enjoy nuclear deterrence so UK and France won't be stupid to drop nukes on Russia. If they do make this mistake, these 3 countries will be removed from face of Earth.

  6.  @ha-kx9we  There is a reason US couldn't remove Assad. There is also a reason NATO didn't do anything when Russia annexed Crimea. The reason is Putin's Russia.

  7.  @Klliansimabras  What kind of history do they teach you in France? It was a bloody revolt and you killed a million Algerians lmao.

  8.  @stephencrompton4352  Easy win for Russia.
    3
  9.  @gabrielputz5851  Nope. Russia is too strong for three of them combined.

  10.  @gabrielputz5851  Lmao clown. You said, 'France would probably crush Turkey' but later on you retracted your statement and claimed, 'It would be close with a French win in the end'. From crush to close win lmao.

  11.  @Klliansimabras  De Gaulle only accepted Algerian independence because rhe revolt was taking a toll on French economy. Are you that stupid to leave Algeria after winning the war? Why did you not accept their right to self determination before war?

  12.  @gabrielputz5851  So? Russia has the best air defence. It is ahead of everyone in terms of hypersonic missiles. It is even with both US and China in terms of electronic warfare. There is only one millitary US armed forces fear, and that is Russian millitary. China uses Russian weapons lmao. It has a history of copying Russian tech. Moreover, US and Russia have their own war doctrines. China doesn't. And the scenario is about invading each other not just going for war.

  13.  @stephencrompton4352  Agreed.

  14.  @jamesbeardshaw8788  No matter how strong US is, it wouldn't win against either China or Russia. It is impossible.

  15.  @stephencrompton4352  Right. And there is a reason NATO exists.

  16.  @ha-kx9we  US' budget is higher because it polices the whole world. 50-100bn$ for a nation's defense is pretty solid. I talked about doctrine. Russian millitary is centered around strong air defence system. They have hypersonic missiles which can neutralize American advance easily. Similarly, US' war doctrine is air superiority at any cost. Be it via land (air force) or sea (naval air force). What exactly is doctrine of China? Maybe a mixture of both. I don't know. They use Russian Sukhois and Russian defence systems for the most part. US (almost single handedly) beat Iraqi millitary twice. Similarly, Russia neutralized Ukranian threat pretty easily. Last time China fought a war, it was 1962.

  17.  @ha-kx9we  Honey. We are talking about a successful invasion here. Do you seriously think China + US combined can successfully invade Russia? I don't think so.
    1
  18.  @ha-kx9we  Ouclassed in everything? US only has air superiority. I have said this multiple times that US infantry and land forces are average. Russia has way more tanks than any other country. On electronic warfare, they are all even. (China might be a little ahead). Russia has superior millitary tech than Chinese. Even China admits this. US is superior to both of them with more experience. But US will try to invade via Atlantic or Pacific ocean. US cannot do anything through Eastern Europe. Russia will run through everyone there. US faces problems dealing with Iran in Iraq. Its bases are attacked every month. Russia is altogether a different monster.

  19.  @jeremypintsize7606  Turkey is a strong ally of Pakistan. There is your nuclear deterrence.
    1
  20.  @jeremypintsize7606  India doesn't manufacture its own weapons. Besides, India doesn't have a single platform. It has multiple platforms which got it into trouble in 1999. (I am talking about air power which is necessary in establishing dominance). Rafale will strengthen Indian millitary massively.
    1
  21.  @jeremypintsize7606  I know. Pakistan can transport its nuclear weapons to Turkey. Those nukes can be deployed there to deter France from using nukes. This is what I'm saying. And Pakistan won't need to fly over India with nukes. Look at the map. Pakistan is next to Afghanistan i.e. central Asia.

  22.  @ha-kx9we  It looks like you hate Russia.

  23.  @ha-kx9we  What makes you think Russia will not use asymmetric option?
    1
  24.  @ha-kx9we  US doesn't attack Iran because it is too costly to do so. Its allies in the region will get attacked. Same is the case in Eastern Europe. Russia will run through Eastern European territory. How will America protect its troops?

  25.  @Klliansimabras  Who are you to ask for an account, dimwit?

  26.  @gabrielputz5851  You were also the one predicting win for a bloc based on their millitary spending. Lmao clown. Saudi Arabia has one of the highest millitary budgets with latest American and European gadgets yet it hasn't been able to overcome Houthis which makes its millitary absolutely trash.
    1
  27.  @gabrielputz5851  And the other guy (Eduardo) - though knowledgable and sensible - couldn't fathom Russia defending itself against both China and Russia. I told him multiple times that to attack Russia via land, America would either use its bases in Eastern Europe (how many bases does it have in Eastern Europe) or via China (US has no millitary base in China). This is utterly unfathomable since US hasn't been able to deter Iran through its multiple bases in Middle Eastern countries (I specifically gave example of Iraq. Iran is pain in the ass for US in Iraq). Russia will attack US bases in Eastern Europe within no time (through ballistic missiles. No country is superior to Russia when it comes to missiles). Next option is via Pacific ocean. This threat can be deterred as well. As far as China is concerned, China literally uses Russian defense equipment. I'm pretty sure Russia would be able to defend itself against China. Even India gives tough time to China. Russian millitary is far more superior. Thus my conclusion is: it is extremely difficult if not outright impossible for US and China combined to invade Russia. UK, France and Germany can sinply forget it. Where did I make uncorroborated claims? Clown.

  28.  @ha-kx9we  Do you realize that most of Russian land is absolutely barren? And that Russia would have no problem giving US illusion of taking over its land. Heck it can even use tactical nukes to obliterate advancing US millitary on its own soil. Proxy warfare is definitely an option.
    1
  29.  @ha-kx9we  Another important thing to be considered is Western psyche. They are extremely calculative and watchful. If US deems war with Russia to be a burden on its resources with cost outweighing possible benefits, US will simply not attack. It will even back off during war if it finds Russia to be unconquerable. China, on the other hand, will go all the way in. But like I said, Russian millitary is superior. Even though US and China have enormous manpower + resource advantage, Russia will stand its ground. They will not give up. They didn't give up against France in 19th century and Germany in 20th century.

  30.  @ha-kx9we  And US does fear Russian millitary. Syria is an example.

  31.  @ha-kx9we  USA and Russia avoid each other in Syria. Trump didn't have any problem with Putin. Democrats have. We'll see if they confront each other in upcoming years. https://youtu.be/kmBryZu0qbo

  32.  @gabrielputz5851  'Turkish cheap millitary'. Lmao clown. Turkey is a NATO member. It uses Western tech. France is superior, yes. But it would absolutely not crush Turkey like you initially claimed. There would be heavy losses for both sides with an ultimate French win. France would be too weak to hold on to the territory anyway. (Algeria is an example). And that's exactly what Russia is going to do. They got their 27 million people killed in world war 2 but never gave up resistance. Compare this spirit to that of French spirit. France surrendered in a couple of weeks. If this isn't cowardice, what is?

  33.  @gabrielputz5851  Victory for me is achieving your objectives. US lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan since it couldn't fulfill its main objectives.

  34.  @ha-kx9we  You're making a lot of assumptions. Your statements are full of contradictions.

  35.  @ha-kx9we  Russia would neutralize any advance via Eastern Europe or Balkan states. Iran regularly targets US bases via rocket strikes in Iraq. What makes you think Russia can't do this? Iranian missile technology has been reverse engineered from Russian scuds. If you do not know this, educate yourself. Houthis dodge Patriot defense system in Saudi Arabia. Hamas dodges Israeli iron dome in Israel. Russia won't be able to do this? Lmao. You seriously hate Russia to make these ignorant claims. Russian youth doesn't like Putin? So what? Oligarchy does. Russia is an authoritarian state. Do you think Putin cares if people don't like him? Lmao. You have absolutely no clue about ww2. Educate yourself. Russia lost in Afghanistan? So did USA. Thanks to asymmetric warfare as you already pointed out. And no, USA won't cover Russian land fast. Jeez. Look at map of Russia. Good luck crossing deserts fast. Do you think Russia would give up Moscow or Kremlin just like that? Oof. Tactical nukes have limited collateral damage. Russia can absolutely use them on its own soil on US troops if they manage to penetrate. Why would US reply with nukes? US soil isn't being attacked. If it does, Russia has more nukes anyway. US is all talk and no walk against a nuclear armed country. It even fears North Korea lol. US could not remove Assad in Syria because Assad had the backing of Russia. They came close to a brink of war multiple times but US backed off each time like a little boy. Russia annexed Crimea in a couple of hours? What did NATO do? Tell me. This channel has a video on China vs USA in Indo-Pacific. Watch that video and see for yourself why missiles are such a big threat to US navy. Even if US sends 10 aircraft carriers with hundreds of sub-marines, Russia will still deter naval aggression. Look up what happened in 1971 when US and UK came in Bay of Bengal.

  36.  @ha-kx9we  India beat China in 1967 (limited fighting). India made China back off in 2017 in Doklam. Similarly, both sides came to a standstill in Ladakh in 2020.

  37.  @ha-kx9we  Russian nukes date back to Soviet times but American nukes are new? 1971? USSR scared off US + UK + China all at once. You are completely biased against Russia. There is no point in continuing this discussion. And by the way, USSR (Russians) were way more difficult to handle in Afghanistan than Americans. How do I know this? My country's establishment fought both of them in Afghanistan. US is all about air superiority. Remove that air superiority and you have an average millitary.

  38.  @ha-kx9we  You know what? You're right. USA will invade Russia in 10 minutes. Russia sucks. Long live USA.

  39.  Darth Wheazius  That's why we won't see any of these fights owing to nuclear weapons.

  42.  @zombiman900  Ok.

  43.  @kyleatherton88  France, at its peak, couldn't do anything to Russia. Germany, at its peak, gave up when faced with Russian resillience. Only Anglo-Saxon power with even a slight chance of beating Russia is USA - which got its ass handed to it in both Vietnam and Afghanistan. To be honest, France, UK and Germany combined are too easy for Russia to even think about it. All 3 would be hammered left and right.

  44.  @jpc7118  Cool story. France left Algeria because the resistance took a toll on French economy and there was American pressure. Same reason UK left Yemen.

  45.  @jpc7118  Cool story once again. Completely unrelated to what I said. Political and diplomatic pressure. Oh yes.

  47.  @MN-vz8qm  It is third world of Europe - yes. Germans and French nearly took them - yes. Did they actually conquer Russia? Nope. Both lost.

  48.  @MN-vz8qm  Actually, I have changed my views I previously held. Russian millitary is j@ck $h!te and overrated.

  49.  @letsallgetalong5499  France has won more battles than UK. France has a better head to head record as well.
