People who don't believe it will end.

First off, love the topic. +1 to OP.

Germany VS France- tough to say. Germany has no military, however, as stated, they could probably get their shiz together pretty quickly and whip out a few nukes before too long. Really can't say.

USA VS China (without nuclear bombs)- wouldn't happen. Considering how over-the-top in debt the US is to China, a war between both would crash both economies and pretty soon there'd be two less countries on the map. (Easy pickin's for Russia?)

China VS Russia (nuclear bombs in)- that would be fun to see, regardless of who won. Most likely China.

USA VS Russia (no nuclear bombs)- USA

South Korea VS North Korea- North

Spain VS Mexico- Hah! Spain. The bordering states in the US would probably recede and join up with Spain.

Japan VS South Korea- Wouldn't happen, but if it did, South Korea.

Israel VS Egypt- Israel. Moses would probably come back from the dead and make it rain frogs on Egypt.

Britain VS India- India

Switzerland VS Belgium (if that happened)- Switzerland.

Pakistan VS India- Pakistan

Turkey VS Iran- Iran

Germany VS France
France would surrender.

USA VS China (without nuclear bombs)
China has a lot more people. Also much cheaper weopons, cause there all made in china.

China VS Russia (nuclear bombs in)
In Soviet Russia war wins you also Russians make BIG nukes, Like world killing nukes, (Tsar bomb anyone? i dont think anyone wants to play with a 500 megatonne sucker.)

USA VS Russia (no nuclear bombs)
Same as above.

South Korea VS North Korea
Korea would probally win.

Spain VS Mexico
mexicans would turn up with a case of Tequila and bring it to a cease fire before the afternoon siesta.

Japan VS South Korea
Japan, cause they would out wierd junk south Korea

Israel VS Egypt
Israel, cause there spost to be Gods people so if they lose it makes the big man look bad.

Britain VS India
the pommies would win. They sailed the fleet halfway round the world to deal with one little island rebeling. god olny knows what they would send for a BIG country. and i belive India still looks up to the Pommies since they were part of the empire for a looong time

Switzerland VS Belgium (if that happened)
Switzerland. they would send in there female sports teams and belgians wouldnt want to fight any more.

Pakistan VS India
India, much higher population, and who wants to fight monks.

Turkey VS Iran
Iran, tho there all turkeys anyway.

These wars have been fought before (except a couple)

but with modern technology and weapons, who would win now?


Germany VS France (France has the bigger army and the nuclear power due to Germany's army limits, Germany has the bigger economy and more capability to build nukes)

USA VS China (without nuclear bombs) USA we can..... never mind.

China VS Russia (nuclear bombs in) I don't know but that would be some hard writing to read.

USA VS Russia (no nuclear bombs) The USA. We have Chuck Norris, Mr. T, and we have Jackie Chan.

South Korea VS North Korea South Korea has more on their side

Spain VS Mexico Spain because they will use vosotros

Japan VS South Korea even

Israel VS Egypt even

Britain VS India you kidding me? India has elephants

Switzerland VS Belgium (if that happened) don't know

Pakistan VS India power to the elephants

Turkey VS Iran you didnt say no nuclear weapons so Iran.

My answers are in blue.

[MrHyde]

Doesnt Russia have the macho Vladimir Putin? (Hope hes not reading this).


And China has the spirit of Bruce Lee, which is stronger than the living Chuck Norris and Mr T

[jorbaud]

None of these are practical since it would more than likely not be 1 vs 1. However, my answers are in bold.

France
USA VS China (without nuclear bombs)
US. China has a one child policy. We would lose some troops but we would wipe out a whole generation.
China VS Russia (nuclear bombs in)
Russia has more nukes. However, it would be whoever can take out the opponents the nuke defense systems first.
USA VS Russia (no nuclear bombs)
Toss up, but I would guess US.
South Korea VS North Korea
North Korea, they also have nukes while South Korea does not.
Spain VS Mexico
Spain.
Japan VS South Korea
South Korea
Israel VS Egypt
Israel
Britain VS India
India
Switzerland VS Belgium (if that happened)
Switzerland
Pakistan VS India
India
Turkey VS Iran
Iran

I got kind of lazy and did not feel like giving my reasons on all.

[MrHyde]

It depends, these NK troops are so underfed and so deprived of everything... will they even really fight?

They only need to take out SK's nuke defenses and they win. NK has a few nukes and could take out the major cities in SK crippling them.

Due to the U.N. I doubt any of these wars could really happen. Also due to the development of nuclear weapons, large moving and occupying armies aren't necessary anymore. As was show in the Iraq conflict, quick and decisive attacks on infrastructure and personnel can really disable a country very quickly. But as all of you I am going to come up with who I think would win and why.
Germany vs. France. Germany is my obvious choice if they were the attackers. With them not buying into the euro they have a much stronger currency value, and probably the most stable economy in Europe. If France were the attackers although if they were quick enough could overwhelm Germany before Germany could arm themselves.
USA VS. China. This one could be just destroy the world. Imagine how the world would split itself. We see two large super-alliance of China, Iran, North Korea, possibley India. While for the US we would see US, Israel, most of Europe. Africa would play a very small role in this war as a whole. I see a large seawar in the Pacific Ocean headed between China and the US, and a large war taking place in the Middle East. In the end I see the US winning. Though I see the worlds population going from 7billion to about 3-4 billion. Huge determining factor would be Russia. If they hit China from the north and the US was coming from the south is could be the end for China.
China vs Russia. Almost the same as was stated above.
USA vs Russia. impossible at the current date.
SK and NK. If the war sparked between the two again, I see SK pulling through in the end after igniting the war of China vs USA.
Spain vs. Mexico. Mexico, they've done it once, they can do it twice, Mexico would be predominantly defending and the drain on the Spainish supply lines could be to much to hold.
Japan vs. South Korea. South Korea, they are like the Asian version of Israel. They do not get messed with, you mess with them or threaten them they will mess you up.

Israel vs Egypt. Israel would win. Israel has been a stable country for fifty years. Egypt just emerged from a rebellion and revolution. Israel could roll right through them. The true matter is how to consolidate Egypt after capture. Juddism and Islam are very different religions.
Britian vs. India. Britian could win if they attacked swift and precisly. If a long war happened Britain could lose because of manpower reasons. India has around 900million people while Britain has maybe an eigth of that?
Swiss vs. Belgiums. Swiss overall. Much stabler economy. Nearly every man there owns a rifle or assualt rifle. The shere odds of them losing againest Belgium are nearly impossible.
Pakistan vs. India. Let them kill eachother off. Both cause way to many problems for the world.
Turkey vs. Iran. Turkey is neutral and not mention a large stronghold of the Islamic Religion. Iran is much the same, they have no chance at getting into a war againest eachother. If anything a coalition would be formed between the two.
