Is Russia is the only country in the world capable of confronting America militarily ?

Answer 1

the Russian military is a dim shadow of its former self, and its former self wasn't all that great to begin with. If Russia stirred up trouble for some stupid reason now against the U.S., leaving nukes out of it (which is silly on a national conflict scale) the Russians would lose bigtime.

Put it this way: other than metabolizing brake fluid, list three areas or specialties where the Russian armed forces have demonstrable superiority as compared to those of the U.S. We'll discuss them.

Answer 2

Russia has always been out in front in building the world's most technologically superior weapons systems and military devices.
But it is not so good at producing the money to pay for their mass production and effective deployment.

However, no two nuclear-equipped countries (with sane governments...!) are really capable of confronting each other in all-out war - because the damage each could do to the other would make any confrontation between them futile and counter-productive...

Hence the term - MAD - which stands for Mutually Assured Destruction. All we must hope is that no one is ever idiot enough to launch an all-out nuclear war - because it will poison the whole planet and means "Goodnight-Vienna" for us all.

Answer 3

Russia is fairly defunct, it does not have the financial resources to take on anyone for that matter, but why are you asking this question? If you think America is all too powerful for anyone to consider having a go then you are sadly mistaken, all great or powerful countries/empires throughout history have fallen into this way of thinking, you have only been the dominant power for a very short period, your military has all the technological capability to beat anyone, but how well you use that is another question, your army is certainly not the best trained by far, if you were to go head to head with the Israeli army for instance I know where my money would go for sure, maybe that's why you back them to the hilt, because if you tried to appose them you would probably get your asses well kicked, and they have nukes too!!!

Answer 4

Russia is not as large of a threat as they use to be during the Cold War. The amount of money going into their military has dropped dramatically. China could be a threat if we ever did go to war with them (like the person above said lets hope that never happens) because on the ground they out number U.S. troops. Advance war fighting capabilities are great but I don't believe that alone could defeat large numbers of troops.

Answer 5

russia? lol
russia doesn't have the ability to confront the USA militarily... but other countries do. India and China are two countries that could for sure stand

Answer 6

It is really scary to think we can't handle a little country with no formal military like Iraq. If we can't get control of that situation what would happen with another super power? It really is a frightening thought. I am afraid if we got into a confrontation with another superpower the missles would fly and good bye life as we have ever known it.

Answer 7

Russia couldn't confront the USA toe to toe. Alot of people think China is a military threat. Who knows what would happen? Make love not war... Leave us alone...

Answer 8

I am about to "shock you" to say the least.
Militarily, Russia is no longer a threat to Us or anyone for that matter.
Numbers and I mean numbers, of their comanders made tons of USD from dealing with the Afgans (opium) when Russia was there.. ...Weapons, for guess what?
Now all that money they have filtered in to the ME, and converted most of it to real estate.

Answer 9

Right now the US military is stretched to the limit. We could be conquered by Canada, we're so weak...

i bet if 20 guys got together and attacked this country they'd kill like 3000 people... oh wait, that already happened...

Answer 10

Your thinking old school ,no military in the world comes near fighting America in any sort of state to state battle. (maybe China, they have been using Lazar beams to blind U.S. sayalites when they pass ove Chinese airspace.)That is why it is so ridiculas that the pentagon continues to spend 2billion dollars per submarine on a war to 'Get Osma" as if he is going to be picnicing on some seashore and a huge Tridend will land on the shore and capture him. It is obvios submarine contractor gave heavily to campaign elections.
