Yes, actually it is very possible. Think of the distances China and Russia would have to take in order to mobalize any sizeable force. Think about the out-dated systems of Russian forces. Think about the fact that half of all conscripts in the PLA are issued knives instead of rifles. But than this all depends on who is invading who. As for a joint Russian and Chinese invasion of the US, impossible. An invasion of Europe, highly unprobable. Most ex-communist bloc countries are now apart of NATO and have more advanced defense systems than Russia, ie. Poland and the Czec Republic. Russia cant even upgrade over 90% of its airforce, they cannot afford to replace the hind helicopter, and those large tank formations are a thing of the past. Both countries would do well with home defense but any assault could be a risk too large worth taking. Afterall, even with the size of the PLA, most Chinese military analysts believe an invasion of Japan is impossible and even Taiwan, being extremely difficult and risky.

Wait, you will only argue with a Russian or Chinese soldier.  What does that suppose to mean, that civilians can't discuss about these matters?

I doubt any modern-day war fought between nations like China and the US would involve any kind of ground-based invasion.  Im my opinion it would mostly be fought in the air; tactical air strikes to take out key targets, military installations, power supplies etc.  The US doesnt have the resources to occupy a country the size of China, the same in reverse applies to China.  I think its just unrealistic to talk about invasion when a war between nations today would be swift and decisive, fought at altitude.  And if this were the case, so long as nukes werent touched, the US would have the upper hand.

I dont see a civilian having a fraction of the amount of insight that soldier of any military will have.   I find a lot of peoples views of warfare on this forum are just too damn simple.   I get angry when people use stupid ass website full of nonsense to back their argument.   How is anyone here, even russian or chinese citizens gonna know whats going on with their military.


you can discuss these matters till the cows come home. Freedom of Speech. I sure as shit wont take most of it seriously, though.

well, actually dunno, can´t be known tbh. too much secrecy going on and if they would I bet alot of trouble would come to pass that´s all that can be said for certain on this subject =/



but: Europe & american tech + training > russian + chinese training, by fucking far.

They'd have more numbers, we'd have more quality.

They would completely dominate.  Sure, some US missiles from our subs could sneak in some nukes...but they'd obliterate our cities in an hour probably..and maybe invade.  Be kinda fun!

Actually, I think there'd be some gratuitous nuke exchange and then Brazil would be the leading super power along with Australia maybe.  The Northern hemisphere would be a wasteland and look like the real world in the matrix movie.

They have a loose defense pact in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, but understandably, it is more centrally located to their regions and responds more to local difficulties and stateless entities rather than global conflict, which would find the two hard pressed to continue their alliance (which does not even guarantee cooperation in such a situation).

Having Russia and China to ally with one another becomes only a matter of convenience for the two. It would occur only if they are forced into a situation where both are desperate.

To be honest I think people here are overestimating russian & chinese forces and underestimating those of the western world.

I'm sure we could decimate them in a few days with nukes. And vice versa.

Exactly.  If one country gets nuked, we all get nuked, its as simple as that.  Which is why i believe nobody would consider using them.

And it wouldnt really be a matter of days, just a couple of hours

USA is the only country who used nuke against humanity in history. Remember Hirosima and Nagasaki...USA did it.

About Russia: Had the biggest army during WW2. Lost most of the soldiers but right now the biggest army has China. They just changed roles.

About China: If they would they could invade all countries around them. They could rush to north and occupie east russia easily. Then North Korea would liberate them and they would roll over South Korea. Taiwan would be no enemy. And yes Japan is also there but it could not defeat them.

About USA: He owns the newest technology in modern warfe but that wouldnt be enough to win over the massive army of China.

The EU: If all the countries unite to fight. No chance. Only in fact China would defeat Russia so they would reach us.
