USA military runs the gauntlet

Why not? I guess since it's IRL thing, GDF is the best forum.

Rules:
- USA invades the specified countries
- They need to completely disable their militaries and reduce them to nothing more than guerrilla force
- No nuke attacks included

Gauntlet:
1. Iran
2. Iran + Turkey
3. Iran + Turkey + India
4. China
5. China + Russia
6. China + Russia + Iran + Turkey
7. China + Russia + Iran + Turkey + North Korea
8. China + Russia + Iran + Turkey + India + North Korea
9. China + Russia + India + Israel + Saudi Arabia + UK + France
10. Entire NATO + China + Russia + India + Israel + North Korea

Stop at 5. People actually believes China would give us trouble in an actual war, but they really wouldn’t.

Russia though, is our near equals. If we’re a 10, Russia is an 8. 1 on 1, we can beat Russia, but adding China, we might or might not lose, but we would be so weak, any of the other super powers can invade us.

Defending US soil form any of the countries in question (bar maybe round 10) with the stipulations of no nukes would be fine.

Invading countries is not something we're particularly good at however.

America probably clears, if the game is to ruin the other nations' military might

If this is sequential, number 4 alone might take 50 years. Winning and completely destroying address definitely 2 different things. You need to give an objective to the defending countries too. Not being destroyed wo uld be pretty easy for some military factions in a country the size of china.

Shit is rigged. Who's giving defeated enemies a res for future rounds? Hax.

Russia though, is our near equals. If we’re a 10, Russia is an 8. 1 on 1, we can beat Russia, but adding China, we might or might not lose, but we would be so weak, any of the other super powers can invade us

Lol. Russian military spending is barely a 10th of US spending. It's about 1 1/2 times the UK's.

I don't think it's that high anymore.

It tanked a few years about cos the ruble crashed. Think it's about $60b a year now. Not exactly the half trillion and then some the US spends.

If you deprive USA from its good relationship with other regions regarding resources and intelligence you are nerfing them quite substantially. Their economic weight and influence would be critical to win any long war effort.

So I assume there are no big economic changes in place in this scenario? It's pretty unrealistic to believe the internal economics of these countries wouldn't shift overnight in this kind of all out war effort
