Not gonna happen. Neither side is that stupid.
IF we took the gloves off we’d clobber them.
China and Russia vs US
Conventionally we would win a quick battle as long as we had the imitative and were not surprised attacked. We would have to strike at Moscow and Beijing quickly to neutralize their leadership. We would lose a prolonged battle, though.
We’d never go to war with Russia. All during the Cold War, I never once worried about war with Russia. There are too many intelligent people there. If we ever do go to war with someone, it will be with the Nut Case Nations. Those idiots who would commit suicide to kill you, i.e., half the Middle East, a few African Nations and a few South American Nations.
Russia, USA and China should team up and completely eliminate all islamo jihadi states. Put hardline secular dictators in to keep the 7th century morons in check.
And ban their teaching of the islam cult.
Not gonna happen. Neither side is that stupid.

Islamists, however.........
Exactly, for all our differences, the Russians, Americans, and Chinese want to live. The Islamos want to die.
“Neither side is that stupid.”
There is plenty of ‘stupid’ in the world, and it has nothing to do with native intelligence. Never underestimate that.
whether we like turkey or not they violated its airspace twice and locked onto the Jets. twice. And for a sustained time. And that’s a little dangerous. why they are still in NATO I don’t know. But they are
And Islamic jihad wins, because the two groups most likely to defeat them in gloves off battle are fighting each other.
In an equal force on force engagement with Russia or china, or both at the same time, we would win, especially if that fight was on our terms. However, Russia (and China) would not fight us fair or by using conventional means. They would use asymetrical warfare, infiltration attacks, false flag attacks, cyber warfare, and space warfare to take away our advantages in those areas. They would also likely use WMD’s as needed to maintain advantage. Also, the fact that we would have to fight on multiple fronts, far away from home, gives China and Russia a significant advantage. Taiwan, Korea, Eastern Europe (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia), the Middle East, and possible trouble in Latin America would require our forces to fight in six theaters at once. Maintaining logistics would be a nightmare in that scenario even given NATO/ANZAC/GCC support.
Their women would kick our women’s asses though. In looks and probably in actual fighting.
I seriously wonder if there wouldn’t be some people rooting for the other side. I know it’s just a minority of people, but they have become so unhappy and frustrated by their inability to succeed here that they seem to have developed a profound hatred for the US. We saw that in this screwball in Oregon.
Desperate evil leaders will gladly provoke a war.
Not gonna happen. Neither side is that stupid.
But I don’t trust POS Obama to do what’s necessary to keep it from happening. The evil bastard wouldn’t care if we got hurt badly, anyway.
When I was stationed in Germany, I always thought that to take off the gloves, meant to use tactical nuclear weapons. If indeed that is true, and I don't know for sure if it is or not, but is that the Pandora's box we really want to open?
Obama would probably impose some stupid ROE’s on our people.
