But its obnoxious to even suggest that the EU and the future NAU would go toe to toe. The future of conflict is west + east vs Moslem. Chinese, americans, europeans-- they all want the same thing. The highest standard of living on earth for their people. That and money.
Shhh, the muslim people are a peaceful people, who contribute deeply to modern society.
/liberal attempt. completely ignoring that the religion has a large amount of ideological members who take it to a violent/extreme lvl

Pretty much agreed, if your saying what I believe. A likely war would be the economic powerhouses of the east and west versus the ideological beliefs of a auto/theocracy. Imagine 20 years from now after dependence on oil decreases and the middle eastern states have limited sources of income, the unrest would be high, a leader would be able to foster a deep hatred for the west...
Why do people always completely disregard the normal muslim people who want to get on with their goddam lives? Just because the Quran has a verse where a tree helps a muslim cut off a jew's head or some shit doesn't mean they are all violent.

Also, Moslem is not the right spelling. I don't give a fuck if so many people have used it that it appears acceptable, its not correct.

Ignorant fuckers.

wait.. He spelt Muslim "moslem?" And the continues to sprout ignorance? This is why when I rule the world, there will be a lot of dead people.


EDIT: Sorry for the DP wrong button.

Well, eventually the Amercans would probably win. But by then many millions will be dead, their economy will have collapsed and both continents would basically be devastated. After that China, Japan and India will be new superpowers.

Hmm.. Let's say that France, Britain and Germany have an army numbering 100,000 men. I know Britains army is around 100,000 strong, so i would assume France, Germany, and perhaps Spain Italy, Sweden and Poland to have roughly the same size armies.

100,000x6=600,000

Now, let's say that smaller EU nations like Belgium, Netherlands, Romania, Greece and Ireland have an army numbering 50,000 men. There are 27 EU states, minus the six already mentioned that leaves 21, minus luxembourg which doesnt have an army, that leaves 50,000x20= 1,000,000.

Woah, now i know my estimates could be flawed, but the EU could easily have an army of 1.5 million soldiers, all professionally trained and well equipped. That is before drafting and conscription. Now, i imagine the combined navies and airforce's of the EU would also be pretty impressive. Initially my hunch would be that the North American Union would win, but now i'm not so sure.

We also have pretty good fighter's, most notably the Eurofighter, and the Germans do make damn good tanks (always have, always will) Leopard tanks are awesome, and in British Challenger 2's you can brew tea!! Germany also has a considerable industrial capacity, and each European nation have their elite forces. The British have the SAS, the Germans have GSG9, (Which is damn good) the French have the French Foreign Legion and the British have the Para's. EU has a slightly higher population than US, Canada and Mexico. (EU=499,000,000) North American Union=(447,000,000) Not really significant.

Really i think it would be stalemate, there is a big Atlantic ocean in the way, and this would be murder to cross, and even then you have the problem of actually getting a huge invasion force onto EU or North American soil and sustaining it with supplies coming across the Atlantic ocean.

If the EU and the North American Union unite of course, we could pwn the planet several times over.

His profile says USA, but interestingly enough, "Moslem" is actually the correct German spelling for "Muslim". I dunno if any other languages use the same spelling as us Germans, though.

Assuming this doesn't include political concerns. It would be a battle of naval/air power which would mean America would win handily. If it does include political concerns, it could go any way.

If all of the EU rose up America would be crushed, not just in terms of military support but looking at it economically and socially America couldn't survive without the support and co-operation of the EU. Especially as its likely that Russia and Chine would bring their aid to the EU (well its kind of iffy with China they might just stay neutral.)
Considering the fact the USA(not including canada or mexico) has a larger Navy than the European Union combined, I think you may want to rethink "crushed."

Yes the Americans have more ships (by a small margin), but you have to look at how well trained and experienced they are, the UK navy alone has some of the proudest traditions and strictest training in the world, and has likely the most real combat experience on any large scale in the Falklands, plus many of the ships in the US fleet are aircraft carriers and not actual warships and are spread out around the world. Its a strong Navy but head to head against all of the EU's I'm willing to bet it would be defeated.
And the USA's Navy isn't well trained? Look don't get me wrong, I think both are great well trained Navys. Its just that to say one is a clear cut, better trained Navy seems a bit farfetch. They are both very well trained.

Also it's not just aircraft carriers. The USA also has a superior amount of Cruisers and Frigates.

Saying that the EU don't just ***** between ourselves and nukes are out.

Then i would say Europe would win. SAS FTW.

EDIT: Sack that... Africa would win by unleashing its army of flying banana bombs dropped by kangaroo's borrowed from Japan, but originated from the former Yugoslavia... Therefore, the ducks in Belgium would win. I like belgium. Its got nice chocolates...
For some reason that made me want chocolate breasts...or I probably know why. I love chocolate and I love breasts so it would be awesome.

OT: The EU since it's getting less and less democratic so the y would just run over the people and form a badass military.

Actually the EU is getting more and more democratic. The whole new treaty adds another layer of power to the democratically elected Parliament. The EU is not an evil technocratic superstate bending on world dominations.

The Member States have a say in regard to every policy, if they wanted they could Veto anything.
For those interested, the EU (or EC back then), has attempted to create a common army when it were still a handful of memberstates. The French proposed it got it signed by everyone, and (when their government changed) were the only ones where the Parliament didn't ratify the treaty. They had everything ready on paper, even the uniforms.

Nowadays an attempt of cooperation on the area of defense is made trough the European Security and Defense Policy (Very slow process). Best they got is a few thousand troops acting as a rapid reaction force which can be deployed in a short amount of time almost anywhere.

Um, actually i've been doing some research. America has 280 warship's, and 3,700 aircraft. The major European powers, which i count as UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain (woops, missed out Sweden, never mind) have in total 423 warships alone, almost double that of the United States. I haven't included European auxiliary vessels in the figures btw. I would estimate that the European navy's combined comes to around 500 warship's, and at least 3000 aircraft.

The Americans would win in short order.

Us Europeans would be too busy arguing with each other to actually send out an army.
Never underestimate the ability of the United States to get stuck arguing with itself. Especially when the Democrats control congress.

We don't disregard the normal ones we just acknowledge that there is a substantial branch that uses islam to promote a violent agenda. Radical christains say katrina was gods judgement, radical muslims fly planes into buildings, or blow themselves up. Just saying.

We're better than everyone else at everything we do.
And if we're worse, then it doesn't count.
By that you mean if we loose we'll just say "FUCK IT" and hit the red button?

The EU would win. We would have the advantage of numbers (unless the usa drafted a considerable number of men) and the vast majority of the worlds special forces. Not only that, the armies of the EU are far better trained and just as well equipped. And we have a decent supply f nukes too.
Hell, we wouldnt even need to mobilise our armies. Just send the SAS, Spetznaz and GSG9 to remove the usa govt and army officers. Job done, war over, america fucked

People here seem to think that special forces are the only things involved in a war, and even then think that they are some kind of immortals.

So time for everyone's daily military situation. This one is on a continental scale. Say a large scale war breaks out between the Union and the Union of North America.(Not just USA)

I think this would be close to impossible to determine. Both Unions are pretty equal in population. I would lean towards the North American Union(Well I am an American), the USA has the most elite military in the world and Canada is also a very elite military and good allies with the USA. Mexico I worry about because their ground military is not is strong as most countries, mainly due to dealing with drug trafficking problems within their own nation, they also have almost no tanks. Their Navy however is something not turn a blind eye to.

What do others think?

UPDATE: Disregard nuclear technology.
Uhh, a war like that doesn't just involve these two continents, we don't really know who China would side with, NA would have Israel (second best military on the planet), I obviously don't see this every happening but I'd say NA wins, this war would be the REAL world war.
