And if you think USA is going to invade China or Russia and win your fucking nuts. Especially when the USA's knows they would certainly use nukes as the last resort.
If WW3 happens its simply going to get ugly real fast... Everyone will be sending nukes until the entire planet is no longer habitable. The USA will not win shit.. nor will anyone else.

There is a lot of truth in what you just said.
I honestly believe in order to win a war, you must have an all out invasion, and it must be fucking brutal. The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan were pinpricks, quickly overwhelmed both the governments and military forces, but did nothing to pacify the local populations. At the close of WWII both Germany and Japan were exhausted due to the length of the fighting and the destruction. With Iraq and Afghanistan the people said "new government, new military, business as usual".
Would the US need to invade? Not at all. They can attack the government and it's offices, and the military. This wins wars in Middle Eastern countries, but imagine what it would do to an industrialized country like China or Russia. Imagine twenty million people trying to flee Beijing.
Nuclear war? Never gonna happen. Even if China, Russia, or the US was about to be completely over run by an enemy force... They wouldn't use nukes. The moment one country, in desperation, launches a nuke... The attacking country would do the same. Tens of millions of people would die, and nothing at all would change.
North Korea seems to have the nuke now. Did you notice what changed? Nothing at all. They still threaten everyone, and the rest of the world still puts further sanctions on them. In fact, the only thing that has changed is China and their lack of support for NK - because China does not want a nuclear war on it's border.
