What would happen if tomorrow, with no prior warning, the US declared war on the entire world (and vice versa) with the sole aim of totally eradicating the other?
Nukes are off the table.
The US has 1,347,300 military personnel.
The rest of the world have 20,541,760 combined.
The US has about 19,000 population centres.
The rest of the world have about 361000.

America would almost instantly lose a lot of the infrastructure, which is hosted in allied countries, which makes it such a global power.
Good luck predicting what the Chinese are about to do when you suddenly can't see China, or the rest of Asia for that matter.
Any more input? K'mon, I expected you guys to have some good analysis. You're the experts.

You should've posted on his you dummy

Done. Thanks.
The only countries in the world that could possibly launch an attack on the mainland US would be Canada or Mexico. Russia might have the airlift needed to do something, but it wouldn't be much. But none of that matters because in the few months it would take the rest of the world to get organized and start shipping it's armies to Mexico or Canada, the US government would be overthrown by people who are pissed that the entire economy just collapsed and they no longer have access to most of the consumer goods they are used to having.

A rational post? Hmm

For the purposes of this exercise, let's replace all nuclear warheads with conventional ones. Subs and ICBMs (even with conventional warheads) are far too strategically interesting to ignore entirely.

Presumably Canada and Mexico would act as staging posts for the rest of the world to land and invade that way. Although some guy on /lit/ says the US would bomb them and that way prevent it. I don't know.
