It does not matter how many people China has. It is irrelevant to my point. You can apply the same thing to Australia or any other far away place.Aircraft carriers, although not advanced would be used by EVERY other country on the planet against USA. That is not a ''post WWII'' invention.
So, you're telling me that USA can, bomb all countries that are a threat at the time (which potentially all are), ie, being on the offensive, while at the same time being on the defensive from everyone else.
On the defensive from UK (which always had the best navy), on the defense from France and Spain and Japan from the sea, and on the defense from Mexico and Latin America from infantry. Not to mention that all other countries could and would land in South/Central America.
America NOW cannot defeat Afghanis, yet USA would win against the whole world in an imaginary war where everyone declared a war against them.
Also, it is stupid to assume world would just sit around with retarded weaponry and wait for US to attack.
The progression of weapons and technology development in this scenario would outdo anything we have seen so far. Germany alone was able to progress with ridiculous speed in terms of technology, weapons and science.Eventually world would win. It's not rocket science (puuuun!!)
Not every country had aircraft carriers in the WW2. Those that do would pose little threat to 21st century US tech.
Modern US subs could quickly and easily take out any and all ships trying to attack US soil long before they reach.
The US doesn't have to bomb everyone at the same time to defeat any and all WW2 military's.
This is about conventional warfare. After modern US obliterates every other WW2-era military, which it would do with ease, it would face resistance; that is another story, if occupying all other countries is the objective.
You're assuming Ameria would sit by and let the other countries just develope better weapons, after the WW is over. 70+ years of technology is huge, a single F-22 can obliterate a mass squadron of WW2 planes, it's not rocket science.
That isn't the scenario, this is WW2-era world and 21st Century America going to war. America would win due to 70+ years of technological advancement, and that fact that it's America, **** yeah.
