In a straight on fight, as in real war, ISIS would be eradicated from the face of the Earth within weeks.
However if the US went at them like they did with the Taliban, then no. Because there are to many civilians to hide amongst. |

| I forgot to say that the US could easily beat ISIS without a doubt, but Obama is going to have to do more than call airstrikes and get Americans beheaded. |

| As it stands, there is literally no military even remotely capable of matching up to the United States. |

is this a real question
while we could defeat them on the "surface" you can't just completely annihilate a terrorist organization |

"As it stands, there is literally no military even remotely capable of matching up to the United States."
Not true, the UK, Russia, and even China have militaries that could easily give the US a run for our money. However all of these countries also have access to nuclear weapons, so there wouldn't be a war so much as a "who can destroy the world first" contest.
Also stop blaming the world's problems on Obama. He can't snap his fingers and fix a conflict that is over 3000 years old. |

In a realistic ground-war, neither the UK, Russia, OR China would be able to touch the US mainland.
China's military is under-equipped and the whole country has a lack of resources. Soviet era tanks vs m1a2s? No dice there.
Russia's own military may have a larger nuclear stockpile but in this day and age nobody is stupid enough to use it. Cold War is over. They can't defeat the US in a ground war.
The UK can stand a little higher than Russia and China but in the end the US is able to deploy MASSIVE amounts of men and equipment far faster than any other country and the UK would end up in American hands. |

@Treeecow Realistic how? Since when was anyone here knowledgeable about military matters? Furthermore, all information said here is basically what the media feeds us.
Not to mention predictions are utterly pointless.

"China's military is under-equipped and the whole country has a lack of resources. Soviet era tanks vs m1a2s? No dice there."
China doesn't use Soviet tech, they actually have a decently modernized military that also happens to have the largest amount of manpower in the entire world.
"Russia's own military may have a larger nuclear stockpile but in this day and age nobody is stupid enough to use it. Cold War is over. They can't defeat the US in a ground war."
You'd be surprised what a desperate man will do to spite his better, one side would end up using their nuclear arsenal eventually it's just human nature. Also automatically ruling out the Russian military in a ground war against the US proves you have no idea what they're capable of. Their weapons are all modernized.
"The UK can stand a little higher than Russia and China but in the end the US is able to deploy MASSIVE amounts of men and equipment far faster than any other country and the UK would end up in American hands."
The UK has literally the same tech as the US due to defense contracts and alliances. A smaller landmass makes it that much easier to defend, and with modern surface to sea missiles such as the Priests that can be fired from pretty much anywhere, "deploying MASSIVE amounts of men" quickly would result in MASSIVE amounts of casualties.
I'm American as well, but you need to realize that just because we have the scariest Navy and spend the most by a longshot, it doesn't make us invincible. |
