A very debatable question indeed.Well if you know about the Cold War you must know that the U.S. and Russia were not exactly the best of friends.America was against the communist dictatorship in Russia and offcourse the Soviet Union.\nHowever the Cold War was last century.I believe that relations are cordial at the moment.However the two nations prefer to keep their distance.

100% Ally. We need a strong stable democtatic Russia. Russia is a huge untapped country that holds great promise for free market in that region of the world. Plus with China growing so fast we need them more than ever!

Um I think either North Korea or Iran might spark ww3. China & Russia would back them cuz they are communist or somehow allied or have common interests. I think on the side of the US, would be the UK, EU, Japan, & Austrailia. This is the big shocker though. The hidden communists in Canada would sieze power & use Canada as a staging ground to attack the US & UK. Most of ww3 would be fought in Canada or something along those lines with slight variations in the outcome depending on how it all unfolded.

There is a "coalition of the willing" that include more than this...however, most of these countries have the resources to only show "token support" These countries should also be acknowledged appreciatively.\nThere are however many countries who prefer to reap the benefit of this coalition's efforts (ie future security and freedom)without sharing in the responsibility.\nThere are also so-called world powers like Russia that want to keep American power in check. Of course they do not want war with America ... but snicker when America suffers casualty in it's response to World threats.\nIran is an example.  Iran is taunting America...America must respond. Russia is poking each with a needle while giggling on the sideline.\nOf course....Should Iran show any serious signs of a threat...Russia will necessarily join in the melee on the side of responsibility (US, Great Britan and coalition)

It is a very realistic and good question my dear friend...\n\nMy answer (opinion) will be "Yes".\nBut the fate of U.S.A will be more grieve than Russia.Because as you know lot's of enemy of U.S waiting for a weak point.Lot's of promise of revenge,lot's of hatred and enemy...U.S have to be careful...\n\nRussian system and culture is very different than U.S.A.I have been in Moscow.It is a lovely city...You have to see people,metro stations,museums and buildings...\nIf they don't want to talk no body can talk them.If they want to kill you.They kill you :) They have no details.\nIf they want to do sometihng.They do it.No lie,no acting.That's very simple.\n\nU.S.A will finish itself...

Invading Russia & not invading Britain.  If they'd taken out the UK in 1940 and kept the Russians as allies it would have been impossible for the Americans to fight in Europe after Pearl Harbour.  \n\nBy the time Roosevelt had defeated the Japanese and got round to taking on the Germans it would have been the late 1940's.  Hitler would have had a working atomic bomb and enough jet aircraft to drop one on New York.

WWIII was the cold war with the Soviet Union.  We won.\n\nThis is WWIV, and it has already started.  It does not require two superpowers to be at war.  Two incompatible ideologies will do it too.

I kinda think he'd play a major role in World War 3, but he'd need a lot of help. Even if he bombed Isreal today, everyone in the world would gang up on him, probably. He'd need more support from more powerful countries before he could start a war, kind of like how the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand only led to the First World War because Russia supported the Slavs that Austria-Hungary was oppressing. Maybe if the modern Russians take military measures to protect Iran, then if Iran nukes Isreal and gets counter-attacked by America in turn with Russian troops in Iran, maybe then we'll get World War 3.

I wonder this myself some times, especially by countries which really do not have all that great relationships with the U.S, such as N.Korea, China, and Russia just to name a few. An invasion against the U.S. will only be possilbe if invaders ally, I do not see it possible that one country can invade the U.S. though.

No the Russians held an armistice with Germany in 1917. The armistice we all celebrate was on 11 November 1918.

The wartime allies (the United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain) began to quarrel as soon as the Nazi threat lessened.\nThe Americans and British decided to postpone questions about the makeup of postwar Europe.\nStalin, however, wanted decisions made with regard to postwar borders.\nThe Big Three at Teheran (1943) decided to launch an AmericanBritish invasion of Hitler's empire via France, and a Soviet invasion of eastern Europe.\nAt the Yalta Conference (1945), the Allies decided to divide Germany into occupation zones.\nIt was also agreed that Germany would pay heavy reparations to Russia.\nStalin agreed to declare war on Japan after Germany was defeated.\nThe Yalta Compromise over eastern Europe broke down almost immediately.\nAt the Potsdam Conference (1945), Truman demanded free elections throughout eastern Europe, but Stalin refused.\nStalin believed that eastern European states must not be anti-Soviet.\nHe feared that free elections would result in possibly hostile governments on his western border.\nShort of war, the United States could not really influence developments in eastern Europe.\nWest versus East\nTruman cut off aid to Russia because of Stalin's insistence on having communist governments in eastern Europe.\nBy 1947, many Americans believed that Stalin was trying to export communist revolution throughout Europe and the world.\nThe Marshall Plan was established to help European economic recovery; the Truman Doctrine was meant to ward off communist subversion with military aid.\nThe Soviet blockade of Berlin led to a successful Allied airlift.\nIn 1949, the United States formed an antiSoviet military alliance of Western governments, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); in return, Stalin united his satellites in the Warsaw Pact.\nIn 1949, communists won in China.\nIn 1950, when communist North Korea invaded the south, Americanled UN troops intervened.\nThe American General MacArthur wanted to invade China but President Truman said no and fired him; in 1953 a Korean truce was negotiated.\nThe Western attempt to check Stalin probably came too late and may have encouraged Russian aggression.\nThe Western renaissance\nA divided and economically weak Europe made a huge turn-around within a generation after 1945.\nThe postwar challenge\nThe war left Europe physically devastated and in a state of economic and moral crisis.\nFood rationing was necessary.\nRussia's border had been pushed west, as was Poland's; thus, many Germans were forced to resettle in a greatly reduced Germany.\nAll the Allies treated Germany harshly.\nNew leaders and new parties, especially the Catholic Christian Democrats, emerged in Italy, France, and Germany and provided effective leadership and needed reforms.\nIn many countries, such as Britain, France, and Italy, socialists and communists emerged from the war with considerable power and a strong desire for social reform.\nThe Marshall Plan aided in economic recovery and led to the Organization for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC); military protection was provided through NATO.\nLed by West Germany, a European economic miracle was underway by 1963.\nAmerican aid helped get the process off to a fast start.\nEuropean nations adopted Keynesian policies to stimulate their economies.\nUnder Erhard, Germany adopted a freemarket economy, a social welfare network, currency reform, and price controls.\nUnder Monnet, flexible planning and a mixed state and private economy brought rapid growth to France.\nGreat potential demand (for products such as refrigerators), abandonment of protectionism, and the creation of the Common Market stimulated the economy.\nToward European unity\nDemocratic republics were reestablished in France, West Germany, and Italy.\nThe Christian Democrats wanted a unified Europe, but economic unity proved to be more realistic than political unity under the Council of Europe.\nThe sixnation Coal and Steel Community marked the beginning of a movement

At any given time in history, there are numerous wars and conflicts going on. Currently there are 40+/- conflicts in the world. The only time the WORLD WAR status is attibuted to a war is when the superpowers square off on opposite sides in open declarations of war. We are far from that scenario, altho i agree the spark is there to ignite a larger conflagaration. But for now, just think regional conflicts, proxy wars, brinksmanship and disagreements between rump states.\n\nWhen the US, Russia and/or China square, then come back and we'll talk WW III. The history books haven't declared the Cold War as WWIII or the current war on terror as WWIV. You'll know when WWIII hits, that burst of EMP will be your first warning....\n\nThe start will most likely be the result of a launch on warning hair triggers of the aging Russian early warning system thinking that NATO or the US has launched against them....a computer foul up will have started WWIII.

2nd amendment, baby!  In the 1950s, the USSR determined that a land invasion of the US would be impossible not because of the US Army, but because of armed citizens.  If you think the insurgency in Iraq is bad, you ain't seen nothing - 300 million armed Americans - look out!\n\nOf course, the US Navy would likely reap havoc on the invading forces - the Atlantic and Pacific fleets would intercept the invading fleets and destroy many of the forces before they arrived.  They can't handle aircraft carrier battle groups, and many of their capital ships and troop ships would be sunk, with tens of thousands of foreign soldiers drowning on the high seas.\n\nMeanwhile, US forces currently in Afghanistan and Iraq turn north and invade Kazhakhstan, easily overrunning local resistance and breaking into Russian territory in the Crimean penninsula.  America takes the Caucuses, cutting off 70% of Russia's oil supply and dealing a major blow to the invading nations.  At the same time, US Navy SEALs are dispatched to take over Britian's North Sea offshore oil platorms, cutting Western Europe's oil supply.\n\nBecause the world's internet is under US control, America immediately turns off servers supporting any web sites in the invading nations, dealing a major blow to foreign communication and propeganda efforts that could have been used to their advantage.  Additionally, US military intelligence flicks a switch, cutting off all satellite communications and disabling the operation of any US-made arms and aircraft used by the invading powers.  Suddenly the US manufactured missiles on the French jets can't track their targets, rendering them and countless other weapons useless\n\nBut these are the tactical responses.  The Strategic response is much more engaging.  As we hit DEF-CON 3 and DEF-CON 2 rather quickly, the TRIAD is put into motion - land, air, and sea based nuclear weapons, baby!  US nuclear bombers are airborne and circling over Alaska, waiting for orders to strike anywhere in the world.  Nuclear missile submarines are at launch depth, and the Intercontinental Balistic Missiles are ready for launch.  America assures Russia that it will not be nuked, and proceeds to demand the immediate surrender of all other invading powers under threat of nuclear war.  Countries like UK and France have about 5 nuclear weapons capable of hitting America - but they are likely powered by US manufactured rockets and guidance systems, again rendering them useless.  These countries capitulate almost immediately.  Russia, it's invading force nearly destroyed and it's allies surrendered and beaten, must decide whether to resort to nuclear war, or to call off the attack.  Russia knows that it has nothing to gain by using nukes, so it calls off the invasion.\n\nAmerica 1, Everyone Else 0.  Don't mess with the red, white, and blue.  And do stand as we play the Star Spangled Banner at the formal surrender ceremony.  God bless America!

That depends on which treaty you are talking about. Japan and Italy were Germany's ally. Germany had a treaty with Russia that Hitler stupidly changed his mind about and then attacked Russia. After Germany surrendered, there was a treaty with United Kingdom, France, Russia and the United States.
