If a full-fledged war breaks out between Russia and the US, will India and China be on the same side (probably Russia's)?
India's foreign policy has been firmly non-aligned, and India founded the Non-Aligned Movement, which grew out of India's tradition of Nonviolent resistance. It is surprising how many young Indians forget this today.The obvious (and likely correct) answer to this question is that India will go to extreme lengths to prevent a world war, but in the unfortunate case such a war breaks out, India will not participate unless attacked, remaining neutral. Neither US nor Russia have conceivable reasons to attack India, and any such attack would be increasingly costly (as India's population and economy grow, and the military matures). On the other hand, staying out of a world-wide conflict has enormous economic benefits, as China found out at the conclusion of the Cold War (of which China was easily the main beneficiary). Serious wars have more often than not been decided by economics. To this end, China and Russia have few common economic interests - Russia needs high oil prices, while China needs low oil prices (same for India). Russia is stirring turmoil in the Middle East and even sent troops there recently, whereas China favors peace but is also staying out. China heavily depends on trade with the US, whereas Russia's trade with the US has never been large. While Russia's trade with China is also limited, Russia is trying to convince China to increase it (not very successfully as of 2015).Today, China is big enough to be a "side" on its own, rather than taking sides. Moreover, China's economic clout is sufficient to prevent Russia from starting a war.In the cultural plane, both Chinese and Indian students predominantly look to study in the US today (some go to the Western Europe). Of those who learn Russian, some go to Russia and some go to Ukraine. India's historically cordial relations with Russia have mostly been based on political expediency, such as purchases of Russian weapons, and Russia's support of India in the UN (but not enough to back India's bid for a permanent seat at the UN Security Council). Given that China is India's regional adversary and supports Pakistan, India's military started diversifying away from Russian weapons, which are also heavily sold to China (some of the Indo-Russian projects have been disappointing).In summary, the chances of India participating in a world war are slim, siding with someone else are even slimmer, and siding with China would seem beyond science fiction.
If a war breaks out between India and China as in present scenario whose side does Russia will take?
Unfortunately for us the answer is not black and white anymore. Few years back you would have said Russia will back us over china. But two things have happened in recent timesIndia moving lot more closer to US and buying more defence equipments from them. Large defense deals have been struck with US, French and Israel in last few years and Russia has been in each of those race and lost. We do not seen to enjoy the same level of engagement anymore.Russia has found a new market in China not just for defense equipments but for their Gas etc. This is partly China wanting to make sure they do not have enemy behind them, what better way than make them depend on you for business. Russia's European market access is limited now and economy not strong enough so they will take money coming from anywhere including China.So if and when the time comes for Russia to make a choice, you would think they choose friendship and history over this new business relationship with a rival regional power that cannot be trusted.
How would a war between the US and China over the South China Sea play out?
The USN has more ships and submarines, and the US Air Force has more modern fighters. The US also has allies in the region and bases in those allies’ territory. A limited war would be naval, and the USN is the best in the world. It would be hard to imagine this as a limited war, since likely major powers would have to choose sides. Japan’s fate is tied to this war, and it’s hard to see how she wouldn’t jump in.There is an overemphasis on carriers. Carriers currently are useful in non-peer combat in support of ground troops. Most of the naval fighting would be done by submarine. US nuclear submarines would attempt to sink Chinese submarines and vice versa. Since most of this is classified, it’s hard to tell who will come out on top except to say that the US has more submarines and more modern submarines, and trains against navies that have submarines similar to the one’s China possesses. China does not train against Virginia or Seawolf class equivalent enemies.It is hard to imagine a smaller, older PLAN beating the US and it’s allies. The USN has more ships and arguably better ships, and too much to lose in the East Pacific without putting up a good show in this hypothetical war. I think it will be mostly submarine based, with the surface forces and aircraft carriers coming in after the dust has settled. In that case the US has a decisive advantage in ASM and submarine warfare.A lot of variables are just not known. Does the DF-21D actually work? Does Aegis actually work against missile swarms? Are submarines really as undetectable as people say they are? How effective are point defense systems? How effective are jamming systems and electronic warfare? Is stealth the real-deal in a high-tempo combat environment? What effect will the mountain of information generated by drones and satellite have on decision making, and who can analyze that information quickly and accurately?We are in a similar situation as the end of the 19th century. Revolutionary leaps in naval technology lead to a diversity of ship design and ship types. A series of decisive battles in the Sino-Japanese War, Spanish-American War, and Russo-Japanese War winnowed the wheat from the chaff, and many theories were either proven or disproven. This hypothetical war has the same potential of putting a lot of what is being peddled to the test, as two determined and competent enemies will be straining to find what works and doesn’t work.
If world war 3 would break out?
Which ever side the U.S was on would win. This is so because of not only its supreme power but also it has a good amount of strong allies and is a part of NATO. A world war could break out and the sides could come out as something like U.S, UK, France, Canada, Australia, Germany? vs. Russia, China and maybe a couple of small nations and possibly India. Although these countries against the U.S have huge manpower. The U.S is so advanced technologically in warfare, far past other countries. Their budget is almost 5 times the next leading country in military spending. The U.S have the best trained soldiers along with a good amount of man power. Even though Russia has a advanced military and China is getting there, there is still a siding with the U.S side because of NATO. With France and Great Britain along their side those two would be strong allies to fight with them. Also, Russia and China do not have great blood either, so there could be some problems there. In the end the U.S would be victorious due to their well trained personnel and superior technology.
If China and Japan got in war, who would win?
since the ancient times till the present day, japan has only won one war with china, and lost all others. The only one they have won was the 1894 sea war with china. don't forget, the only reason why japan was able to leap forward ahead of china was simply "westernization", i.e. embracing western technology and industralization. NOW THE CHINESE HAS DONE EXACTLY THE SAME, AND THEY ARE EXTREMELY INDUSTRIALIZED. THE CHINESE INDUSTRIAL OUTPUT IS 33% HIGHER THAN THE UNITED STATES, AND IS GROWING MUCH MUCH FASTER THAN THE REST OF WORLD.... ONLY TO WIDEN THE GAP ALREADY LARGE. dont forget, japs got only four islands, and the chinese has enough nukes to sink all four japanese islands into the earth crust...
Who would win an all-out war between Pakistan and India if no other country got involved?
India without a doubt.Lets compare.Military:Active Personal ( India ): total 3200000Pakistan : 1100000Tanks:India: 6000Pakistan: 4500Fighter jets:India: 600Pakistan: 400Navy:India: 260Pakistan: 197Nukes:Pakistan: 130–150India: 100–120Nuclear weight:Pakistan: 5000 kton - 10MtonIndia: 10000 kton - 1 MtonNuclear MissilesPakistan: 70km-9500km+India: 150km-10000kmAllies:Pakistan; China ( confirmed), Iran( Confirmed ), Turkey ( confirmed), Saudia Arabia ( Almost), France ( Almost), the rest Islamic states ( with too much expectations)India ; USA ( Almost ), Israel ( Confirmed) , Japan ( Almost)Explanation:India is gonna lose a war with pakistan due to the following reasons.India doesnt have ammunition for a long war, key concerns in CAG report explainedless ammunation.Their fighter jets include Su 30, Rafale, Migs , F 16 out of which 250–300 migs were to retire in 2001 but are still in service . India only has 250 Su 30 which are able to fight in the field.while Pakistan has 250 self made jf-17 4th gen fighters and 70–80 F-16s all of which are enough to comeback india. Furthermore, Pakistan is highly advanced in case of nuclear warheads so pakistan yield much more damage to India in case of a nuclear war. Also if you take a look at history despite of less military Pakistan was successful in obtaining half of Kashmir in 1947, was successful in defence against india in 1965, killed 4000 men destroyed 114 jets and 600 tanks , In kargil Pakistan killed 7500 soldiers with loss of 105. If we consider Russia as an allie of India we should keep in mind that China, Pakistan and Russia have developed strong bonds in the past 3–4 years. Pakistan also does joint military exercises with Russia.Another thing is the military inteligence which is ISI in Pak which stands the best in the world and the special services group which is SSG in pak standing 5th in the world and Indian MARCOS standing 8th in the world.Lastly, Pakistan has one thing which india lacks and will always lack. We call it Brain. Mark my words Intelligence is always better then agression.
What will be effect of India -Pakistan war ?
India is likely to follow the US guide line for not wanting help. However, it will follow the UN guidelines. India could have attacked the next day after the attacks, but without the UN's permission, it didn't attack. So India may follow the US guideline, but it won't break the UN's rule. The Effect: India has A LOT of allies which include: USA, Russia, Israel, Great Britain, and MANY others. If the US comes in, then a lot of its allies will be involved (Canada, Australia, etc.). Pakistan has China, and other small countries (because of terrorism connections). China is smart enough not to mess with this situation because it will have to go against two superpowers, US and India, and other countries. And China is already trying to settle peace between the two countries. India has the 3rd largest military (includes army and airforce), and most of its allies are in the top 10. India has the technology that the US has: If any jet aircraft (or anything) comes in without permission, it will be blown in mid-air. India also trains with the US military yearly, so it has built a very strong army. India is ready for war with Pakistan, and Pakistan shows the same by getting ready its airforce. However, that is a bad step because it is messing with the country that is a million times stronger. History: India and Pakistan have had previous wars, in which India owned Pakistan. And India has gotten stronger with the technology and its allies. Conclusion: India will not use nuclear weapons unless Pakistan does so. India knows what is right for the planet and people. If India does use nuclear weapons, then it will use them at a limit. There can be an effect in Asia (a big one), because its the fight between peacemakers, UN, superpowers, military, and all against terrorism. So it will be big if the war strikes. However, US, Canada, and other countries, have fought down the Taliban and Al-Qaeda over the years. And the UN involves all countries, so it will something big. But everybody should hope that it should all settle in peace, and no war should strike. However, the terrorism should be fought down. So overall with all this support, India will kick Pakistan's butt. BIG TIME! And it's true. Everybody knows it. And with all the support India has, it's true. Hope this helps!
If a war broke out between Japan and South Korea, which side would the US support with both sides allied?
First of all, it’s pretty much impossible for either country to invade the other successfully until a very long time later.Japan is extremely centered in their navy, but lacks a good army. Therefore, although they might be able to possibly launch an amphibious landing, the landing forces would be very likely decimated by the much much larger and stronger Korean army.On the other hand, South Korea is extremely centered in their army, but lacks a good navy.(or at least, not strong enough) Therefore, although if they even make a single successful landing opportunity, it will be pretty much game over for Japan, but that will be almost impossible.(It should be noted though, that the chances of South Korea landing is somewhat higher than Japanese landing forces an then beating the South Korean army. If South Korea can use their missiles to cripple certain Japanese ports and airports at the start of the war, and then go all-in for a humongous landing assisted by a huge fleet and air support, than it can be possible. On the other hand, the Japanese cannot do the same to army bases because they do not have any offensive missiles.)So there’s a very very low chance that any significant progress will be made in the war before the U.S. reacts, which will be the diplomatic equivalence of:The U.S. will just tell them to cut this crazy crap immediately.If they still don’t stop, then the U.S. will probably use the 7th fleet to interrupt the fighting(and no South Korean or Japanese ship or plane will dare attack the 7th fleet), and sanction both countries until the citizens become sane again and impeach their leader.As a side note, if this happens, whoever started the war broke their countries’ constitution. It is not a well-known fact, but South Korea also forbids invasions in its constitution.(North Korea doesn't count because it’s not treated as a separate country in the constitution)ㅇㅇ
