Could America defeat the rest of the world if no nuclear weapons were allowed?
I just watched a youtube video on it and I believe it. America has a lot of weapons.

Maybe 50 years ago when the USA had the industrial and manufacturing mass production capabilities to replace the expected losses of weapons and equipment in a war the USA may have had a chance to win a world war..
But today when that vast industrial complex has been shut down and transferred to China and some other countries.. Nope the USA would not have a chance today of defeating the rest of the world.. Yeah initially it would expand and have a few wins but the weight of industrial capacity of the world would replace the initial losses and then overwhelm the ever reducing US forces who will be unable to replace their losses of critical platforms..

@Adstar precisely what Hitler said in 1939
Everybody always counts the US out ... till we kick everybodys butt
We have something no other country has .... we ARE NOT centrally managed. Thus, we are flexible and resourceful.
Texas is bigger and more powerful than Australia.
And nobody floats a boat like we do

@questionWeaver Well Germany in World War 2 compared to the USA of world war 2 is a good reflection of what the current day USA is compared to China..
In WW2 the Germans had superior technology.. Better jet aircraft, better tanks, Germany had the first assault rifes.. But the USA had a huge industrial capacity that dwarfed the German ability to produce those superior weapon systems..
And thats the way it is today between the USA and China.. The USA has the superior aircraft , ships and tanks .. But it is China who now has the industrial capacity to out produce the USA 10 to 20 to 1 ...
So it does not matter if the US F22 fighter can shoot down 10 Chinese fighters in a dogfight when the 11th Chinese fighter will shoot down the F22.. If China can keep producing the 20 to 1 ratio they will have victory over the USA..

@Adstar please do not rewrite history
It was not American industrial might that beat Germany
It was American, spirit, innovation and individualism
We did things faster, better, smarter and more integrated
We still do
There is no military force in the world, with the integrated F35 capability.
American engineering is superior to all other nations
Get over it
American risk taking and risk mitigation is far superior to every combat force in the world.
It simply is, stop dreaming
American speed at everything ... is second to none ... because we leverage individuality
It just is, respect it
We are now done.
