and we as a country stand a chance? It seems those forces are standing up to American threats of force and sanctions.

Sounds like a crazy conspiracy story to me...
if they did join forces that would just give the Yanks some real targets for once (at least in regards to the openly hostile countries).
In any event those forces you speak of have a lot of barriers to overcome (ideological, racial, political, etc.) before they even consider an alliance...

Well there would be many guerilla wars that America just couldnt win and as for conventional wars, well the middle east would stop all oil trading with the west completely collapsing the Americans economy so there you be no money for any type of war:-) luckily humans dont have a tendency to group together unless there direct personal interests are threatened

without remote places help the Philippine militia will final in line with risk 7 days on the main, against an entire frontal attack from a u . s . a . like China except they nuke us first. the only reason the Philippines lasted against Japan in the time of WWII became because of the fact Japan became battling a warfare on diverse fronts. Had they concentrated all their power on us, then, we in all probability may be talking nihongo as we talk. As to the comments with regards to the Abu Sayaf and the different extremists in Mindanao, they are additionally being funded via like-minded businesses from radical international locations AND via some militia scalawags themselves. There are quarters who desire the conflict to proceed because of the fact warfare skill money. The powerful US militia has been in Iraq because whilst? Afghanistan because whilst? What Taliban? yet once you're battling on your u . s . a ., it incredibly is going to likely be worth dying for. (Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo.)

NOPE, they wouldn't stand a chance if we turned the whole arsenal we have loose on them. Remember, we were testing flying the stealth bomber back in the late 70's. We probably have developed lots of stuff since then.

They have nuclear weapons aimed at every nation in the world set on automatic pilot. If that happened it would be an all out nuclear war. In which there would be no winners.

it is tough to say. if we didn't care about civilians it would be easy to fight. the insurgents also don't fight a "traditional" battle. they know going one on one with us is not going to happen. our troops are not fighting insurgents, they are fighting bombs. this really isn't a war anymore. we are not on an offensive, we are trying to rebuild a country and protect it at the same time.

Keep in mind, as a last resort we still hold the nuclear option.

If it were a war where we would actually fight instead of following rules imposed by but not followed by the other side:
WE WOULD KICK BUTT.

If it was a conventional war with Tanks Ships and Airplanes we would win. but if they were going to fight with there guerrilla tactics there would be no victor and endless violence.
