Commonwealth vrs U.S

[Nylan]

The US would win

World Superpower versus a loosely collaborated collection of moderate powers? I wonder....

The last generation worl superpower held off how many nations for a good amount of time, twice? Britain, France, Russia, US, all were necessary to take Germany.

Why would it take any less to take on a nation that is not only far more powerful in comparison to the other nations individually than Germany and it's enemies, but has an incredibly well trained (and numerous) set of Armed Forces.

And I'm sure that naval superiority will be a great comfort as Canadian land forces blitzkrieg through the American heartland.

of what, Mountees?

I don't see them taking on an Abram, and unfortunately, the spear-beats-tank phenomenon doesn't reoccur that often in real life.

 

[scipian]

The mounties?

EDIT: Dang. You beat me to it.

 

[ParkCungHee]

Americans would all die of diabetes and heart attacks before they could slaughter 1 billion Indians.

You'd be surprised, we have a very long and successful history of slaughtering Indians.

 

[Cuivienen]

India is far more powerful then britian and australia.

India also feels little loyalty to the Commonwealth and would probably back out at the prospect of a war with the US.

FWIW, Australia would probably back out of the Commonwealth too, since the politicians would basically crap themselves and cave in to the US instantly.

The US would win by a landslide. Within a month the US would have complete control of the seas, and then its simply of how much bombing they can take before surrender.

Bombing wont win, hitler couldnt do it, neither could you. Would have to march in and take every british, canadian, aussie and kiwi city. Thats alot of land.

Hahah,,,COmmonwealth defeat in like 5 mins. And neither India nor Pakistan would join...

Too busy fighting each other?

 

[silver 2039]

Too busy fighting each other?

Yep...no way either would fight on the same side. And its not like either feel any loyalty to the COmmonwealth.

Like I said, it would take reclamation to bring about the sense of national morale for all the former colonies to get in on the fight, and only then would Britannia have a shot...(a SMALL shot.)

The questions is whether the commonwealth could land an elite squad of Australians, Irish and Scots in America without the transport being sunk.

If we could land about 200 of these maniacs they'd destroy everything in America. There's nothing to compare with a mad Irishman or raging Scot. I reckon the ***** marines of the US would just run away when they saw that triumvirate of madness descend on them.
If we could manage to sneak in some Gurkhas too the whole of America would shut down in a panic. Gurkas like gutting people, and Americans have a lot of gut.
Even if they didn't destroy America and just settled, they'd form a minority group, and then the whole of America would have to bend to their will and make peace, because everyone knows that minorities rule.
Sadly the problem of getting them there is less clear-cut.

I could explain to you why the U.S. would succeed where Hitler failed... or you could just look it up yourself

These threads are dumb. I just hope for the rest of the worlds sake we don't decide to take over the world in the next few years

The US would win, simply because one the Commonweath may have more troops, but US troops tend to be well trained the only 2 armies with better trained troops are the Germans and the Austrians. Cananda could be taken in a day very easily, with just the 1st and 2nd infantry divisions going up, following an air force attack with B-52 and F-16, the B-52 to carpet bomb major cities and the F-16 to shoot down any enemy fighters. That then means the rest would have to then cross the ocean. The USN could sink the majorty with out much effort our subs would run cover actully for our battlegroups, and the aircraft carries would do most of the sinking. The few USN subs not offering anti shipping and anti sub support for the battlegroups would fire Patriot and tomahawk missiles at the major cities of the common weath, which would be followed also with long range bombing raides by the Air Force of course the B-52s would reduce cities like london to rubble in a matter of hours, its a simple fact of 10 B-52's fully loaded can drop 500,000 pounds of convential iron bombs between them, thats enough to level a major city. The RAF would be a small challange but would be out numbered by USN piolts and the escort F-16s, F-18s, and F-15s. In simple the Brittish commonweath could hold out air and water supiroty for a month maybe 2, after that we own both, at which point the 101st and 82nd air borne would land in Brittian, and the reason is, cut of the snakes head and the body dies, those two air borne units would then proceed to clear landing zones for US Army and Marine troops to land on the beachs and take over Brittian and force a total surrender of all Commonwealth forces.

actully your forgetting that a large part of our population is Irish and Scottish, hell im half and half, and i got the same fighting spirt any of them do, and id personally shoot everyone of them between the eyes, and anyway the easiet way to beat an irishman is give him a pint of ale, and you got him beat.

The US would take Canada and some islands but end up stalemated. Basically the US had the naval toys but not the boots to pacify almost 2 billion commonwealth citizens. Aside from the Indians there are a lot of Pakistani/ Bangledeshi/ Nigerians etc etc.

We do have drunk Ozzies grappling sharks with their bare hands and Nepal on our side, not to mention those Canadian lunberjacks...

the point is simple of my post, i told you excatly how it would be excuted, you refused to accept that the US is simply a stronger military power, also we dont need to occupay every commonweath country, we just need Brittan, because thats where the common weath is controled from, so we take that, the common weath doesnt exist and becomes disorganized

Im just saying that while you would win the naval battle you cannot pacify a billion Indians, 200m each of Pakistan, Nigeria and Bangladesh, not to mention the UK, Kenya, SA etc etc Hell look at the grief less than a million catholic Northern Irish can pose the UK.

Nope, the only way the US could win would cause massive rebellion across the US. You have the toys, but not the will or the numbers to win. You would have to put down the jack boot and our own people wouldnt stand for it, or the rest of the world.

EDIT - 200k, 200m, whats the differene between friends?
