If the US went to war with Britain..

[stateofequilibrium]

Let's say the Queen of England somehow pisses off George Bush and Bush decides that England has WMD's and decides to "disarm" them or some silly affront like that.

Let's say that war breaks out between the two nations, full military might except for use of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons and they try to avoid "collateral" damage as much as possible.

How would the war proceed? And let's say Canada joins in the fray on England's side in the middle of the war and Australia sits out going, "WTF mate?" ;-)

[Bulkowski]

Well, I think we would start with some extensive bombing of both Canada and England. Using our bombers/fighters in other European countries that we have bases in, bombing power plants and key buildings, ie Big Ben, and give the Brits an old 40's flashback... Then we would send in SF's to take out key leaders/people... and then they surrender :D woot

[Fioraon]

Depending whose at fault will most likely be the wieght. If America is at fault the rest of the world with side with the English. If the English are at fault the rest of the world will side with the English.

Wait, that doesn't make any sense.

As to the GPS thing, unfortunately for you the SAS, SBS and the rest of our troops can manage with a compass and a map. Of course, if we managed to kill the satellites and render GPS useless for the US then the US would probably end up doing a para drop on the vatican instead of London and killing the Pope rather than Tony Blair.

And about the US & Britain going to war against each other? It's so far fetched that I can't even entertain the possibility. They're among our die-hard friends - we share intel etc. across the board with 'em.

Although I agree with you whole-heartedly on the last bit, a change of government could mean the UK would take a 'old Europe' stance.

[Spooky]

Beh, I think this thread is a bit of a disservice to the strong relationship between the U.S. and U.K.

I think most people on this thread also seem to lump "Europe" and the U.K. together without realizing that relations within the EU are actually quite fragmented. As an American, I can't think of any ally I'd want on my side more than the U.K.: Brit's rock.

Though I think Americans look at the British much more favorably than the British look at us.

Us aussies would Sent all SASR and Cdos and woop your lame Navy Seals arses mate wow our country has no defence but our training is ****ing good so dont start dissing us aussies, and wouldnt we wanna start a war on France instead? no one likes them french ****s :D

[Eviscerator]

Its also worth noting that Britain is a nuclear power, and without all the rules of this thread there would be no war, it took 40 years of gesturing and fighting by proxy between the West and the USSR before they sat back down in their arm chairs. Its simply unfeasible for two nuclear powers to start a full out war with each other, it would mean certain death for the majority of the world.

[Nizark]

well, we would be bummed that we sold them cruise missiles for one :D

[Roger Rabbit]

The UK would take all the Americans in the UK hostage and then force them to say "we are the rejects of Europe" on world television. The Canadians would hunt bears and Texans. The Texans would hunt Canadians and haggis. The US would drop a **** load of bombs and cruise missiles and then realise they just dropped them on Utah. Nobody would care much.

California Joe would launch a guerilla war against the British occupying forces in America using his old muzzle loading rifles. He would last aproximately 15 minutes.

Russia would get upset that nobody had attacked yet and would launch an pre-emptive attack upon the seperatist movement in Wales. The UK would respond by declaring that Russia had WMD and could use them in under 15 minutes. Somebody would die in dodgy circumstances.

King Arthur and Francis Drake would rise from the grave in Englands time of need. Drake would defeat all the world Navies with the resurected Spanish Armada. King Arthur wouldn't be sure whether he was Welsh, Cornish, Scotish, Irish or English and would also not be aware of exactly where he had just came from. He would immediately embark on a plane to America to see a shrink.

Bush would declare that in 1998 the British had reported that the British had been found trying to buy Uranium in Africa and this is concrete proof that the British knew the British were trying to construct nuclear weapons. He would then invade South Korea so he could kick those hippies for not sending troops to the UK.

The Italians would declare war on the US, then switch sides to the UK, then to the Russians, then to the Canadians then they would say "oooh mamma mia beaucoup(the French invaded) merde" as everybody nukes Italy. The leaning tower of Pizza would fall on Chirac's head as he parade the defeated French forces though the smouldering city.

Osama Bin Laden would become depressed that nobody was paying him any attention any more and then take up scrabble as a hobby before becoming world champion.

The 12ft blood sucking lizards who actually turned out to be disguised as drawfs not Zionists would then proceed to try and take over the world.

The world would unite against this threat and bomb Australia.

Upon completion of the destruction of 3/4 of the worlds land surface the survivers would then agree to have a temporary peace whilst they all moved to Mars where they could continue their war.

There was peace and love whilst the mothership was being constructed. On arival on Mars it was realised that Rupert hadn't done his essay that is due in in aproximately 45 minutes and everybody would immediately return to earth to help him complete it.

I bid you good day gentlemen.

We'd kick ass from 0900 to 1700, Monday to Friday. Criticism of the US forces would rocket as "those bloody Yanks" attack at "what bloody uncivilised hour do you call this, you bastard?" Tony Martin would hold off the US 4th Inf Division with his shotgun, eventually winning the battle.

US Marines landing in Dover get mobbed by immigrants, and think they've mistakenly been deployed to Iraq, so they put to sea, before having their battlegroup sunk by the 1017 P&O Stena ferry from Calais. Survivors picked up, clubbed to death with duty free.

Customs deny Navy SEALS entry to the country, as they try to sneak through not declaring their M4's. Mistakenly deported to Estonia. US 3rd Armoured tries to take Liverpool, before being beaten back with superior firepower. Strykers disabled by having wheels stolen and crews discovering vehicles propped up on bricks.

USAF runs rampant as there's an air traffic controller strike in Britain at the time, although perpetually miserable cloud cover means air missions can be flown once a month. US Forces in Scotland get lost in foggy Highlands, never return. The Delta Force Wales Expeditionary Team gets kidnapped and told to "squeal like a piggy, boyo"., before having their "purdy little mouths" commented on. Isle of Sheppey remains a fortress of defence as townies armed with sideways firing MAC-10's hold off Bradleys from Vauxhall Novas.

I'm sure there's more to come...

[USMarine3521]

wow its like all the non-us people have all planned a plot a long time ago to overthrow the US.... :lol:

anyway it's obvious who's gonna win, I mean c'mon! like I said earlier we can just cut off your satellite access, and how do you plan on sending in your SAS/SASR/SBS etc... when you probably would have to pass through some MEU's, Naval Fleets, National Guard, and if you come from the coast the Marines... :D and we still have our satellites, so we can like....see you...and you.....cannot!!

i guess the only thing that can take on the US is.......the spice girls and ozzy?

Red necks find they have many similarities with the inhabitants of the Isle of Whight. The two clans form their own new country on the island and then declare their neutrality.

101st enter London but are attack with chemcial weapons in the form of a highly potent form of marajunana whilst trying to enter Brixton. In Glasgow the remainder of the US Marines are destroyed when the local Glaswegians realise they're not wearing any football shirts and so that means they don't like football which is worse than actually supporting the opposite team.

US Navy enters British waters but is then assaulted by the British fishing fleet who presume them to be Spanish and launch attacks with shoulder mounted Cod launchers.

Yanks being so f**king amazing at killing friendly forces (Brits) suddenly find out they have to attack an ACTUAL enemy!

Sadly, it is a part of war. I think we can both agree that without the U.S. military though, many more Brits would have died.


“You have to put the number of friendly casualties in context,” says Jack Jacobs, a retired Army colonel who received the Medal of Honor during the Vietnam War. “Anything larger than zero is a lot. But with so few casualties overall, the friendly fire number seems large. The reality is, it is a lot lower than it would have been for a similar operation in Vietnam or World War II.”

[Sabre]

Any particular reason for leaving Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland out of the fight?

Besides, who's this Queen of England? We've got one that rules the United Kingdom, this one must be a pearly queen or something.

Also, if you are going to blow up a building, make sure it's a building first. (hint, Big Ben... :cantbeli: )

As for US blunders, here's two:

1- One of our TA MLRS units (101 reg) went out to the states to train with a NG MLRS unit. 101 uses the NG's launchers in an exercise held during the stay. The difference between US and UK comms in MLRS is that the US is a 'technologicaly superior' digital comms set, whereas ours is an old voice radio set. So, half way through the exercise what happens? The fancy-pants US comms system fails. No-one can communicate, the entire unit is inoperable. In the end, they had to put a british gunner in each MLRS to carry out comms as the NG couldn't cope! Exercise continues, brits save the day.


2- One of our captains goes out training in the US on an exchange (having previously had a Ranger Capt. with us). Whilst there, some Paras are out training with some US airborne (unsure which) and tell him a story. The joint exercise with the paras and airborne is looming, the airborne are ripping the piss out of our lads because of their lack of kit. No NVGs each, no GPS etc. So a joint patrol gets inserted by helocopter and no sooner had they set off but a massive electrical storm set in, knocking out their GPS and NVG. So out comes a Para Sgt with a map and compass, checks the direction and leads the way.

If the U.S. went to war against Great Britain, President Bush would send a three man squad composed of myself, JiJo and California Joe on a covert snatch and grab job over the Canadian border. We would subdue ducimus19 and duct tape his mouth shut, fly via super secret stealth cargo plane, penetrate British air defence at tea time. Upon arrival we would then tie ducimus to the top of Big Ben and threaten to remove the duct tape unless the Brits surrender unconditionally.

Sign here_________________________________ :D

No need because big ben is actualy a rocket which we would send up for a short trip into space leaving ducimus19 dead. Eternally in our favour you would surrender your country to us.

But then France would get pissed because we didnt go thru the UN, and they would declare war on us, and then threaten to cut us off from thier wine exports (frances only possible offense, besides that one guy who plays airsoft thats on this forum) Then while we were all bitching about stuff, Alaska would declare itself its own country, and penguins would take over the world.

He mean that Russia still have very good air defence on all levels with Strela and Igla SAMs on company level and with S-300 and S-400 at operation theater level (plus different thingies like Tunguska and others). Also a lot of different interceptors from Mig-31 to Su-27 plus A-50 and ground radars. So it will be very difficult for US to achieve air-superiority at least near frontlines. This means - much less close air support for troops.

Are you saying Britain is almost equal to America in terms of military power?

Of course, nuclear weapons are the pinnacle of military might, any advances on top of that are mere muscle flexing unless it suddenly matters whether it takes 30 seconds to kill millions of people instead of 60 seconds, Britain has enough nuclear warhead tipped missiles to take out the majority of America's cities and vice versa, seems pretty equal to me. Troops and armoured vehicles are not too important in a war between nuclear powers, they may have a use after the 'first strike' to battle it out in the post-apocalyptic lands but they will most likely die in the end anyway. Battles between nuclear powers can not be won and are therefore unfeasible, much as us Brits would probably like to have a small tussle with the French it just wont happen. Ground forces are really only useful against non-nuclear weapon equipped forces so comparing ground forces between the 'Big 5' nuclear equipped nations is pretty meaningless.

Sorry Eviscerator I am one Scot who does not hold a grudge against the French.

I apologize for not clarifying myself in that I was going under the circumstances brought forth by this thread (no nuclear, chemical, or biological weaponry used) in such a battle.

Are you saying that Britain is almost equal to America in terms of conventional military power excluding the nuclear, chemical, biological weapon arsenals on both sides? How large is Britains Navy compared to Americas? Army? Air Force? Over 400 billion a year is spent on America's military. You understand where I am coming from...

Btw: there was a thread quite similar to this one in another forum: it was "If the UK went to war with Germany, France and Spain - who would win?" :roll:

[Whistler]

but is Russia a threat to you?

Seeing the US fight an almost equal enemy would have been interesting :)

I mean, what would the US war-machine be without air superiority :)

what do you mean equal? no air-superiority??? can you clarify me on what you mean. :)

He mean that Russia still have very good air defence on all levels with Strela and Igla SAMs on company level and with S-300 and S-400 at operation theater level (plus different thingies like Tunguska and others). Also a lot of different interceptors from Mig-31 to Su-27 plus A-50 and ground radars. So it will be very difficult for US to achieve air-superiority at least near frontlines. This means - much less close air support for troops.

Ya but Russia stopped paying their pilots so they are all working 3 jobs as fighter pilot - taxi driver - pizza delivery man and won't have time to fight the war... so scratch that idea. :fork:

Well, if the USA do all that ****, I say: Let the Canadians bomb the Baldwins. That will teach ya'!
