You know what war always does?

Kill, destroy and, foster hatred between people beacuse of the idea that :"My plot of land can kick your plot of lands ass!".

I get what you're saying, but war is a necessary evil, and it's about as necessary as an evil can possibly be, if only because there is no possible way to get all of humanity to abandon violence entirely.

No way of doing that last part sadly, but between nations the stopping of violence can be done.

War is not necessary. Peace is.

Nothing new. Plans against the Russians isn’t to stop them from conquering the Baltic’s, it is to set up a delaying action in the area so other forces can be redeployed from other areas to sustain the war effort. The Russians if fully engaged in Europe could perphaps reach Berlin in a matter of weeks. Not enough forces in the area to counter balance such an issue.

China is an even bigger monster that will not be able to be contained with their recent development across all of its military branches. Only thing I can see being an issue for them is the naval forces issue but if I remember correctly they corrected with numerous rocketeers.

War is entirely necessary. You're not gonna stop evil by asking politely.
Yeah: Egalitarianism, equality
Meh: Labour, the EU
Nah: pointless discrimination, authoritarianism, Brexit, Trump, both American parties, the Conservatives

It'd have to be an invasion of all three because invading one would leave it vulnerable to counter attacks I would presume.


Which is presumably why it'd take 48-72 hours. If it was just a dash to Tallinn - easily doable in a day.

What would Russia have to gain from invading Canada that they don't already have; aside from needless casualties and war expenses?

Not that Canada could put up much of a fight against Russia; but just that its totally unnecessary and wasteful. And Russia is anything but wasteful.

Well a land invasion of North America is not in the cards.
A war between China and the US would be a air and naval battle for control of the Pacific.
Neither side has the men or logistics to try a full scale invasion of the other.

Novus America represents my vision of an awesome Atompunk near future United States of America expanded to the entire North American continent, Guyana and the Philippines. The population would be around 700 million.
Think something like prewar Fallout, minus the bad stuff.

Politically I am an independent. I support what is good for the country, which means I cannot support either party.

Rather both sides lack to little manpower to be invaded. :p

It’d be insane to invade a manpower that is equal to yours unless said power is obviously overstretch and overextended.

And Russia and China are by far much less over-extended militarily than the United States.
