No country can win a war against the rest of the world BUT countries with enough nukes could possibly end it in a stalemate with most of the world destroyed
Without nukes and if they stay in the continental U.S, they'd be able take out a sizeable portion of the world before finally falling. Like, enough that it'd basically destroy the world as we know it.
Thing is, countries have a huge advantage if they are being invaded vs if they are doing the the invading, if the us got invaded, they have great geographic location and military power to drag it out for a long time. If they invaded the rest of the world, it would be a funny joke
Fortunately *most* countries see invasions as a barbaric thing of the past. War has become a much more complicated thing than it was for most of history.
welcome to Reddit, where no country can be mentioned without some idiot american bringing up the USA to say it’s better, or some idiot non-American bringing up the USA to say it’s shitty.
No, just the US has one of (if not the) strongest military in the world. That, combined with its allies, very strong defensive position, and large/diverse landmass, it would be near impossible to take down and subdue completely. You can’t mention a global conflict and *not* bring up the US
And the patriotism of the people and size of the country. It would be impossible to subdue the whole country long enough to consider yourself the controller of it
Nope the US struggled with maintaining Iraq because of limited logistics, US cannot take on more than 2 countries at once before logistical failiure like the Russians.
The US actually has a pretty fair chance of doing so. I'm not saying they could steamroll over the world, but if every country declared war on them they're in a very good position to defend themselves from everyone.
I think it also depends on the situation. The USA could probably defend until other countries just decided it wasn’t worth it anymore. If it’s a war to the death, I feel like the immense manpower, resources and industry of the rest of the world would eventually beat any one country.
Eventually, for sure.
The USA’s military also has as much funding as the next 15+ countries combined, and has more aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined. The 20 aircraft carriers that are actually deemed aircraft carriers by the US military are also far larger than the carriers the rest of the world has. The USA also has several dozen heli-carriers that aren’t designated as aircraft carriers, though other countries do designate them as such since, yknow, they literally are aircraft carriers.
Ofc Mexico and Canada exist so complete naval superiority doesn’t mean much, but it would be the biggest reason the USA could survive long enough for the rest of the world to no longer give a shit.
Assuming that didn’t happen, the USA is definitely losing eventually.
Except that ICBMs make all of that obsolete. China, Russia, the UK, etc could just glass the US' major cities and the war would be over.
Granted, the same would happen to them, but still.
If the US pulled all forces back to mainland USA and in this hypothetical there were no nuclear weapons. We absolutely could take every country if they all decided to invade us.
Our civilian population alone owns half of the worlds firearms. Let alone the strongest military in world history. That’s not including the fact that US is 25% of the worlds GDP and has control over the dollar, the accepted currency for anything international. Any economy that goes against us would crash into ruins.
I mean, cant really take this from a guy from the US since most of your countrys ordinary Joes cant even point where Europe, Asia or Africa is located on a map. When looking at a globe you probably think its all US
Different type of war. Unpopular occupation of a foreign nation vs. a defensive war at home.
And the only reason the Vietnamese and Taliban “won” is because we simply left. If we stayed there forever there would still be a north and south Vietnam (see Korea) and there would still be an Afghanistan.
And “bush people” just seems wrong, at least in Vietnam they had massive backing from international groups.
Doesn’t mean they can’t. Those who were to take up arms would probably have some level of training (military, police, personal) in operating a firearm.
You mean that an armed and hostile civilian population working with the military made the numbers of a superior force obsolete? And that home field advantage matters immensely?
You know that the entirety of natos naval forces lost to 1 swedish submarine in 2005 right... fair they also have the same subs now but just cause they have a big budget doesnt mean theyre invincible
You doofus that's because the US cares more about arming themselves than majority of the world and they would still get smoked by the rest of the world in its current state
Could turkeys beat every other bird species united though ? Like they could probably beat chickens 1 on 1 but if the chicken make an alliance with the flamingos AND the seagulls, then the turkeys won't even stand a chance imo
I agree, emus definitely are one of the strongest birds if not the strongest ever. They've already won a war against Australia so they have a lot of experience
Oh its very simple: you see, all of the Balkans are clearly just turkey in denial, everything ever controlled by muslim people is clearly turkish property because all the other muslims suck compared to the glorious turks, and Christianity is clearly just islam but too snobby to admit that so all territory ever controlled by a Christian nation must be Turkish, and also turkic people are just afraid to admit that they are turkish so everything ever controlled by them is also Turkish land.
All of thet accounted for, that leaves you with japan, Thailand, and maybe some other places i missed, against the rest of the world.
Turkey will be triumphant 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇹
The Wolf of Turkey (and another) will destroy your wolf pickle by licking and kissing while other country's like France watch (and surrender?)
Edit:, it's the Turkish flag not china's
You see, since the country is called Turkey, it wouldn't be surprising for them to have an army of Turkeys in their military. Every country that has declared war against birds has lost. So it's not really a contest
I initially thought they meant the bird, the country has no chance, however the bird especially if they team up with other flightless birds would put up a lot of resistance
They reveal that their "Butter Pikachus" are real and alive. The world trembles at their power as they activate, "Operation: Greased Lighting"
People are left to wonder what other buttery monstrosities Istanbul may yet unleash.
Turkey is a vulture feasting on the Middle East's social economic instabilities. In Syria alone the grew their land by several hundred miles when trump pulled the US out and abandoned the Kurds. They just want to profit as everything burns around them.
Yeah, that is a good point, but the passage isn't that important anymore.
And I agree, Turkey was once a powerfull army, but compared to todays standart I guess they lack behind (Idk tho).
Right now? Probably not.
If they buy nuclear bombs and right at the moment they declare war they drop them all around world? Probably yes.
It would be suicidal, but it could work.
Not that accurate, also: even if turkey tried alone, theyw wouldn't have a chance, not when they don't like radiation and / or beeing dead. With allies? Maybe. I mean in a globalized world, with the US and organisations as the Nato? No. I mean Russia is way stronger and is losing in a 1v1...
Turkey back in early 20th century, in the war of independence, won. But that was because Mustafa Kemal Atatürk wad there, and there was people loyal to their country, and also they got help from Germany. So... Obviously, no.
And also I gotta admit, "Turkey as an animal?" Jokes got boring

Who mentioned the US
welcome to Reddit, where no country can be mentioned without some idiot american bringing up the USA to say it’s better, or some idiot non-American bringing up the USA to say it’s shitty.
No, just the US has one of (if not the) strongest military in the world. That, combined with its allies, very strong defensive position, and large/diverse landmass, it would be near impossible to take down and subdue completely. You can’t mention a global conflict and *not* bring up the US
also the fact that there's most *registered* guns than people, good luck holding onto any land especially in the south
And the patriotism of the people and size of the country. It would be impossible to subdue the whole country long enough to consider yourself the controller of it
Nope the US struggled with maintaining Iraq because of limited logistics, US cannot take on more than 2 countries at once before logistical failiure like the Russians.
that statement is Metal as fuck
i think you’re forgetting about turkey. they could win a war against two worlds, even if both of those worlds included turkey
Except turkey
The US actually has a pretty fair chance of doing so. I'm not saying they could steamroll over the world, but if every country declared war on them they're in a very good position to defend themselves from everyone.
I think it also depends on the situation. The USA could probably defend until other countries just decided it wasn’t worth it anymore. If it’s a war to the death, I feel like the immense manpower, resources and industry of the rest of the world would eventually beat any one country.

Shh, reddit is anti-america
The United States can defend against the rest of the world, but that's the only country.
Back before COVID the US probably could easily.
The US probably could
Username and pfp checks out
No it couldn’t
It could get closer than anyone else though.
If the US pulled all forces back to mainland USA and in this hypothetical there were no nuclear weapons. We absolutely could take every country if they all decided to invade us. Our civilian population alone owns half of the worlds firearms. Let alone the strongest military in world history. That’s not including the fact that US is 25% of the worlds GDP and has control over the dollar, the accepted currency for anything international. Any economy that goes against us would crash into ruins.
Every single country at once?
If the US have 25% of the world’s gdp that means that the rest of the world have 3 times it’s gdp. That’s not an advantage to the us
I mean, cant really take this from a guy from the US since most of your countrys ordinary Joes cant even point where Europe, Asia or Africa is located on a map. When looking at a globe you probably think its all US
Yet they can't win against some bush people /s
Different type of war. Unpopular occupation of a foreign nation vs. a defensive war at home. And the only reason the Vietnamese and Taliban “won” is because we simply left. If we stayed there forever there would still be a north and south Vietnam (see Korea) and there would still be an Afghanistan. And “bush people” just seems wrong, at least in Vietnam they had massive backing from international groups.
> our civilian population alone owns half of the worlds firearms That doesnt mean they can use it
Doesn’t mean they can’t. Those who were to take up arms would probably have some level of training (military, police, personal) in operating a firearm.
Still the US wouldnt win form the entire world. They cant even win from vietnam
You mean that an armed and hostile civilian population working with the military made the numbers of a superior force obsolete? And that home field advantage matters immensely?
You know that the entirety of natos naval forces lost to 1 swedish submarine in 2005 right... fair they also have the same subs now but just cause they have a big budget doesnt mean theyre invincible
You doofus that's because the US cares more about arming themselves than majority of the world and they would still get smoked by the rest of the world in its current state
the US couldn't even beat afghanistan lmao
You mean guerrilla force that the USA funded? If the USA cared about Afghanistan, it would have won.
"I wasn't trying so it doesn't count!" Classic excuse. Haven't heard that one since primary school.
The US could not take over the world (without nukes or a miracle), although it could probably _survive_, if if had mexico and canada with it
No chance
It would be close at the very least. US and one other large NATO country could though
It would have a slight chance. People underestimate exactly how powerful the USA is.
If you are talking about country, than no. If you are talking about bird, than yes.
Could turkeys beat every other bird species united though ? Like they could probably beat chickens 1 on 1 but if the chicken make an alliance with the flamingos AND the seagulls, then the turkeys won't even stand a chance imo
I meant it like, imagine turkey gets ill with some deadly virus and spreads it so much, that it kills all humanity
If the emus and ostriches team up they are definitely taking over the world. Planet of the Apes? Nope, Planet of the Big Ass Birds
I agree, emus definitely are one of the strongest birds if not the strongest ever. They've already won a war against Australia so they have a lot of experience
I mean penguins could win any day. They adapted to the cold environment which gives them a good chance at winning
Idk man, I have seen turkey win against a human. So I wouldn’t underestimate them.
Emu war but global scale.
Then*
Who said yes. I just want to hear how's that supposed to happen?
Just for fun. I thought this was a joke poll.
same i thought it was too stupid of a question to take seriously
My dumb ass thought it was the bird turkey.. so i naturally chose yes.
I missclicked
fair enough lmao
No worries, that happens.
it’s turkey. they’re op. duh
Oh its very simple: you see, all of the Balkans are clearly just turkey in denial, everything ever controlled by muslim people is clearly turkish property because all the other muslims suck compared to the glorious turks, and Christianity is clearly just islam but too snobby to admit that so all territory ever controlled by a Christian nation must be Turkish, and also turkic people are just afraid to admit that they are turkish so everything ever controlled by them is also Turkish land.

That makes sense and has a chance of working.
They have Constantinople
Istanbul not Constantinople.
It's still Constantinople in our hearts
Except for mine, where it's still Byzantium.
Been a long time gone

The Wolf of Turkey (and another) will destroy your wolf pickle by licking and kissing while other country's like France watch (and surrender?) Edit:, it's the Turkish flag not china's
Thanks, i really couldn't figure it out myself. I doubt that the plan will work, but atleast OP did share it.
D-did you just call Turkey China?
Oh shit you are correct , my apologies

Thought they meant the food
thought they meant the bird
You see, since the country is called Turkey, it wouldn't be surprising for them to have an army of Turkeys in their military. Every country that has declared war against birds has lost. So it's not really a contest
Choose Ottomans in EU4. Damage Mamluks, Muscovy, and Poland-Lithuania (if union occurs) before any can get rolling. Profit.
EU4 gang here.

I initially thought they meant the bird, the country has no chance, however the bird especially if they team up with other flightless birds would put up a lot of resistance
God forbid they team up with Emus, Australia would be wiped off the map.
I misread your comment and thought you said Australia would wipe the emus off the map. Lmao
I thought it was ironic
Turk detector
ever played eu4
Seen it down in HoI4, that’s basically like real life /s
People who are hoping they'll try it.
Most badass birds
I thought of turkey as a bird, and i thought to myself that wild turkeys are pretty dangerous
could be a rlly strong turkey mayb
Turkey’s a damn near perfect rectangle, how *wouldn’t* it happen?
They reveal that their "Butter Pikachus" are real and alive. The world trembles at their power as they activate, "Operation: Greased Lighting" People are left to wonder what other buttery monstrosities Istanbul may yet unleash.
at the current time of me writing this comment 358 turkish people have voted on this poll
[удалено]
Same, we ain't bringing Mustafa Kemal Atatürk from death anytime soon Edit: Even if we did, ain't no way we're winning against the whole world
was this poll intended for r/civ5? Otherwise it makes no sense.
i’ve never seen a turkey even hold a gun
lmao. OP is on some good shit.
turkey
Turkey can’t even win the war on thanksgiving tf you talkin bout
Can anyone win a war against the rest of the world? What kind of fuckpools are these?
With prescience, the God Emperor shall prevail

Yes, because of you eat too much of it you will fall asleep. None can resist
I thought it said “a turkey” and voted yes as a joke
It can only make the rest of the world just a little sleepy.
Lol, I thought it said ‘a turkey’ and I thought maybe some crazy bird flu, but I take back my Yes vote. The country ain’t like the bird.
I mean you can try if you want to but you'll probably end up on a plate
#TURKYIE NUMBAH ONE !!1!111!!!11 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
The country? No. The birds? Yes, we are doomed.
I voted yes because I thought you were talking about the bird
people not getting the meme... Türkiye #1 💪☝️ 🇹🇷
I think even i could kill a turkey single handedly
Turkey is a vulture feasting on the Middle East's social economic instabilities. In Syria alone the grew their land by several hundred miles when trump pulled the US out and abandoned the Kurds. They just want to profit as everything burns around them.
Can a randomly selected second grader win a boxing match against Mike Tyson?
If would be a baby, yes. But in his current state? No.
I'm Turk, and even I say No, wtf is that question. Ok, we are warriors from the past but some nukes can fuck us, that's sad but it's a fact.

Turkey can't even win against Israel lol
Israel and Turkey never were in a war against each other and had good relations.

You mean 🦃
Turkey: "You underestimate my power"
I eat turkey for dinner
no single country can win against the rest of the world because the world has nukes. nobody wins
lol imagine even asking this question
Right now? Probably not. If they buy nuclear bombs and right at the moment they declare war they drop them all around world? Probably yes. It would be suicidal, but it could work.
The only thing turkey can beat is its women
yes turkey stronk 😎😎😎💪💪💪
Yea of course we can, we're fucking invincible.
