I think we shouldn't discuss pre-emptive strikes at all, since this is a hypotetical situation, and we can't know who would attack first. If there wasn't a preemptive strike, and both countries gone to war at the same time, there would probably be an extensive naval battles, before they can even deploy air or ground troops.

Since this is a hypotetical situation, of course we can discuss pre-emptive strikes! And while you are at it, you can add Goldeneye type satelittes to the discussion. All is valid since it's hypotetical after all. Laughing

The Luftwaffe couldn't drop us either. Shit we did more saving this country than the Russians which is what 40 times the size of us. No enemy troops have ben on our soil for nearly 1000 years.

Like all the brits, Jenni is suffering from those old imperialistic illusions,
In a fight between Europe and the USA, the USA wouldn't win, they would humiliate Europe.

They have better equipment, more money and the advantage unity.

You seem all to miss the nuclear weapons and the intertwined trade, it can't have a open war between the US and the EU, it would be a lose-lose conflict, with hardly anyone surviving.

Yep, they are crazy trust me especially when their men or country is threatened, they will go maaad. Ottoman style hehe. I remember some time ago when US troops held Turkish soldiers as hostages in Iraq for some reason and the Turkish military sent a statement to US requesting the immediate release of their soldiers or anything happens to them they were going to send in their team and in few hours they were released and an apology was made Smile You see, US can't afford to loose Turkey, Turkey is one of the strongest countries out there when it comes to war.

I guess you have no knowledge regarding Turkey's military power. And don't even bother telling me Germany, France and Italy or other EU contries are stronger. There is no single country in the world that can defeat Turkey alone, ofcourse unless they combine their forces.

I don't see how using nuclear weapons would ignite more of a world war than a conflict between 500 millions of europeans and 300 millions americans.
Do you actually believe that one side will wait for the other to use it first in an open war of that scale?
It would already be a world war, with others countries rallying to their closest partner (i.e. maybe Japan with the US, Russians with the EU, etc).

Cos if 1 nuke is used, more countries will realize they can be the next target (like korea, china) and attack too. We also have russia which I concider to be a ticking bomb.
