If China and the Koreas were to wage war against the United States, and Canada, who would win?

Question

Take into consideration the stealthiness of each country ex. (the U.S being very patriotic and Bush never being able to keep his mouth shut good or bad, and China having done many new experiments and developements without any other countries knowing). Obviously i am in favour of China, and also i am angered by the Americans.

just to ask you if this makes sense: how can america be fighting for peace if they themselves (bush mostly) do not want to pull their troops out of the middle east when it is obvious that the war is in the end going to be very very costly to both the u.s and the middle east. how can the u.s call their war a "war against terror"?! have they not taken in consideration the fear and agony of the people in the middle east who were never meant to be in this war?another thing (this may be a little long) but how are the U.S aloud, or have the right to do this?: when china decieded to buy a aircraft carrier from russia, the americans stoped them, how can they do this

Answer 1

Not going to happen!

Answer 2

It all depends upon your definition of wining a war.

If it were merely land armies battling out, China and Korea would undoubtedly win by sheer number of troops it could put into the field.

However these nations are separated by thousands of miles of ocean. Thus a case of landing troops on the beach would be impossible for either side to attempt. The defending force would be able to annihilate and invading flotila.

In an air war, whilst America and Canada have a more technologically advanced air force, again China and Korea would be able to send vast numbers to battle. However I feel in this case America would eventually prevail due to superior munitions.

On the oceans, I have little doubt that whilst China and Korea might be able in future to command the seas, at present their sea power is not vast otherwise they would have invaded Taiwan many years ago.

In regards to a nuclear confrontation, taking out of the equasion of a crippling first strike capability, neither side would win, but both would effectively lose. The ability to protect the command structure and launch a retaliatory strike in my opinion negate any disarming first or pre-emptive stike.

Effectively neither side would seriously wish to engage in an open armed conflict. Canada & America trade with China (an emerging and rapidly growing economy) too much for either side to seriously want to lose such a large trading partner.

********(PURELY HYPOTHETICALLY)*********
As for how were the Americans able to block, or effectively 'prevent' the sale of an Aircraft Carrier from Russia it probably came down to some hardball Politics. Russia finds itself in desperate need as it struggles to emerge from former communist state to a semi-capitalist society. If they don't make the trade, favourable terms could be reached on a number of other issues. Just because they're Russian doesn't make them stupid. They would opt for the most advantageous package for their own needs. It doesn't become an issue of how much will China pay to trade as how much will America pay NOT to let the trade complete. America I would agree has no right to do such a thing, but they do have the ability. In a matter like this no nation really cares about 'rights' as ability as to be realistic who is going to do anything about it.

One common trait about every History book ever written about Wars or International conflicts.............The winner gets to write the story, the vanquished can be as 'morally right' as you like.

Answer 3

I am going to treat your question as being very naive, but serious. The answer is very simple: The US because of one factor, the Ohio Class and West Virginia Class submarines, each capable of destroying the entire ability of both China and N. Korea to wage war.

Answer 4

Man if we went to war with China we would get f***ed up. Think about it for a sec: The Marine corps is maybe 180,000 strong, Army atleast 500,000, so thats only 680,000 (look I cann add...Marines arnt so dumb after all). Since we have onlly 2 branches that really go into combat were at a disadvantage. Yea we get droped off by the Navy and Airforce, but they dont stick around and fight, they would come back to the states for ice cream and pie...damn pie sounds good.

Answer 5

As with any war there would be no real winner just one side not suffering as badly as the other. Anyway if this scenario came about the rest of the word would be dragged into the conflict, on one side or the other. I think that America and her allies would ultimately win but at what cost?

Answer 6

I would say China would stand the better chance of winning.
As things stand now, China has taken away our steel mills, (not just the industry, but moved the whole mill to China) and are our main suppliers of most goods now on our shelves. They also are geared up for mass production of most everything necessary for war, and of course, if China decides to go to war with the United States, I'm quite sure they would have many nations on their side, thanks to our meddling in the affairs of others, including Russia.
I can see no reason for China to declare war against Canada, but also give thought to Mexico, I'm sure they would get on the wagon and support China. You have to admit, in the last century, we haven't exactly made friends around the world.

Answer 7

Check out the CIA web site and see what China's military capability is. They could, without the Koreans field nearly 800,000,000 military personnel more than twice the total population of the USA. Nuff said.

Answer 8

It is part of the war on terror because our enemy there are terrorists. Our enemy which includes Al-Qaeda is blowing up mosques, markets and funeral processions.

If we pulled out, they would take over and subjugate the people to terrorism on a national level.

Let's hope China doesn't start a war against us. The time and effort it would take to win would largely depend on where the battlefield was. It's good China doesn't have a bunch of Aircraft Carriers.

Answer 9

lol, we all know that 90% of the people on here will say that the U.S. will win. i'm betting some 'atomic bomb' refrences.

truth is, if china and korea joined forces and waged war on the U.S. alone with no allies helping... all i have to say it's going to be a costly and devestating war on both sides.

Answer 10

america has weapons but lack of manpower.. china has plenty of manpower but not same weapons as america have. but since korea is teamed up with china, whereas korea have nuclear weapon that really threatens US.. i'll go for china-korea team.

Answer 11

In fact we are very hospitable!!!
