The US. Japan's army is small and not able to beat us.  There is a treaty with Japan that they will never wage war against us again FYI.

Nobody wins.\n\nThe last time we "won" we had to kill hundreds of thousands of civilians in both Germany and Japan. If our self-styled leadership wants to go big, and basically exterminate one of the Muslim factions in Iraq, we could slow things down for a short while, and bring our kids home.\n\nThen we could send the chairborne rangers (see above) over and let them flap their gums at the Iraqis. Nothing like tough talk from a bunch of wimpy kids to set things straight, you bet!

DJ Noek has it right.  Germany was Japan's ally. We declared war on Japan immediately, so Germany declared war on us.  So then we declared war on Germany.

Given the current political and military capabilites of both countries, I would say Iran.\n\nThis is why:\n\n~The United States military is very stretched due to deployments in afganistan and iraq.\n~The United States government has very limited global support, especially from Russia and China (who have economic ties to Iran)\n~Iran supports the powerful terrorist network Hezbollah (which can cordinate strikes against Oil Freights and Rigs)\n~Iran has a larger regional military capability (Russian, Chinese, and North Korean missle systems capable of hittin target as far as Europe)\n~United States is on the verge of an economic crisis due to increase in oil prices and a weaker dollar (compared to the euro and yen), meanwhile Iran has no such energy shortage.\n\nIf you consider other military conflicts of the two countries it is obvious who would win in a war - Iran.\n\nAmerican soldiers fear death, in contrast to Iranian soldiers and militia whom believe their death is equal to martyrdom. Oh and not to mention that the majority of the American people are against armed conflict with Iran.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

No, Japan's military was basically defeated by the time the A-bombs were dropped. American bombers could fly over Japan almost completely unmolested, and the Japanese only contolled their home islands (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu).\n\nJapan had absolutely no ability at that point to go on an offensive. But what they did have was the willingness to fight to the death to defend their homeland, and the military government refused to surrender because of their Samurai "honor". So any conventional invasion would have had a huge cost in terms of casualties (I think US war planners estimated greater than 2 million total, but I'm not sure). The A-Bomb was dropped to force the Japanese into surrender without the bloody land war.

The Armageddon is the one that holds the nuke. America is one of them, and we are the only Nation to use the weapon. What makes you think it hasn't already started when America nuked Japan? There is a 1000 years of suffering afterward. I think it happened back then myself. Nobody knows if we are supposed to live in a Garden of Eden, or struggle with wars and Capitalism. Think about it and read what is said in Mathew from Jesus.

Rite now, Uncle Sam would prevail.  Clearly, Red China has the numbers advantage, but Uncle Sam's got the war tools.  The US does NOT want to get into a land-war w/ Red China.  Also, consider the major economic ties, which exist between Uncle Sam and Red China.  Allahu Akbar.

Yes, I would say for the US Vietnam was. For the world I would say Japan had it pretty rough when we droped two nukes on two huge citys.

no, cos the two wars they fought with the oppostion haveing air and sea power proved america can not fight a country with those capabilities, the second world war the soviets won as even the german admitted after, the pacific war ,america resorted to use two atom bombs to make the japs surrender, there is a saying, "never fight an enemy who could hit you back twice as hard"
