no thanks. suffering the beatles and who last time was enuf

Not sure. Probably. Invading Britain would be pretty difficult, near to impossible in fact. Ruling out Nukes, I would say that it would lead to a stalemate.
>>
>>60998134
They could just blockade you and let you starve to death.

Is britain even capable of agriculturally supporting its own population?
>>
>>60997883
you probably have few enough nukes that we could stop them all with ABM systems. The real problem will be trying to occupy yet another Islamic nation
>>
Of course, why ?
>>
>>60997025
America would win a war with anybody.

Although any war in which both countries have nukes is probably not going to end with any real winners.
>>
Westerners fighting amongst themselves just gives the eastern powers the opportunity to sweep the leftovers.
The more interesting question would be how would the rest of Europe would react to US vs. UK.

You'd abandon all of pacific security to wail on the bongs? You're a bug guy, clapistan-senpai, you have responsibilities all over the world.

You'd only have about a third of the total available. Which of course is still a lot, but with bongs being able to sortie more effectively it isn't as clear as it was before~

Gee I wonder why

>>60999536
These stats are from October, 2015 (Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/these-are-the-worlds-20-strongest-militaries-ranked-2015-9):

>United Kingdom
Budget: $60.5 billion
Active frontline personnel: 146,980
Tanks: 407
Total aircraft: 936
Submarines: 10

>United States
Budget: $601 billion
Active frontline personnel: 1,400,000
Tanks: 8,848
Total aircraft: 13,892
Submarines: 72

>10x the budget
>100x the manpower
>22x the number of tanks
>15x the number of aircraft
>7x the number of submarines

Seriously. It's not a contest. We could allocate 1/4 of our military and still flatten them. You forget that the United States Department of Defense is the largest organization in the world, let alone largest military (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_employers).

They might be able to blockade the Atlantic, but I doubt they could blockade te north sea, so they could simply trade with Europe and Russia

USA couldn't win against North Vietnam so I wouldn't be so sure...

How about we don't do this

They already are.

UK military doesn't have much chances. Not only they're outnumbered, but the technology is more or less the same, inferior in some cases. Plus their defense systems is connected to the US Navy, without it they're sitting ducks.
>>
>>61000781
Couldn't they just sink shipping convoys with their submarines germany style?

if you like to talk to tomatoes

>146,980 * 100 = 14,698,000
Ah. I may have added an extra zero by accident.

>146,980 * 10 = 1,469,800
Then we just round it.


My argument remains though. Literally 1/10 of our military would be comparable to the UK's.
>>
>>61000007
>Submarines: 72
We should build a few more

>>61001070
I know, right? Best freakin' ship sinkers around, subs.

Invade it please and finish with everyone.

The US can't even win against a "random" middle eastern country
