In a hypothethical war between the U.S. and the rest of the world, who would win and why?

I believe the US because of it's location and military superiority.

We can only speculate on that. Look into the counter world of this. Each choice you make causes something different to happen. History has the same effect. I believe somewhere that happned. All the worlds are balanced. Okay i got off topic.\nI believe there would be no more u.s.a\n~Blessed be~

If that was the case, all hell would break lose and there would be a huge war.\n\nThat'll never ever happen.

Americans will die and will keep on dying, as long as their politicians want to get mixed up in other countries' affairs, and find enough fools to vote for them. \n\nHistorically, all countries that were strong and rich used those assets in never ending wars, until they became exhausted and poor. Another country then took over and the cycle carried on. I think it is in man's genes to want to rule others

The world would come together in panic ... "Where the &*^^ did the US go?"  Conspiracy theorys would abound.  Tensions would be high - no one would trust anyone else.  Did an experiment go wrong?  Did one country develope an incredible weapon?  Are the aliens finally attacking?  Did God decide simply to wipe them off the face of the earth?  Different groups would claim responsibility -- most of them groups no one has ever heard of.  And all over this great world, there would be office pools involving which country would disappear next.  (My money would be on Akrotiri - but really, if they disappeared, who'd notice?)

Neutral countries win because they've got Saudi Arabia and Jordan, and they have most of the oil, and could win by cutting off the supply to everyone else's tanks and economy... If they can keep the U.S. and Israel out long enough or blow the derriks and stop the whole damn show. It would probably work: the Iraqis managed to destroy most of their oil production before the US invaded, and I bet the Saudis watched that rather closely.\n\nThe neutrals and the easterns would join forces because they share the common goal of defending against US imperialism. The combined strength of the US, Israeli and EU armed forces would just mop the floor with the other sides anyway, if they have oil to power their weapons. African Union is organized enough to defend themselves in meaningful ways, but we'd beat them anyway through brute force in a fair fight.\n\nPanama is definitely going down. The US will want to keep the canal under a friendly government to move troops, even if its neighbors see it as a target too. There would be a similar three or four way battle over Suez, and both of them would probably be rendered useless to prevent it from being used.\n\nVenezuela would be much more important after the conflict because they would be the only oil producer not in direct conflict with the US.\n\nAs for the odds of this happening, I don't see why it would. We're friends with the African Union, bangladesh isn't that evil, and the Saudis would probably be happy selling everybody oil and staying out of the fight. Countries besides Panama want Panama, so that part could concievably happen, although Panama is currently good friends with the US.\n\nAnd there might be a war with three sides or more, but opposing sides tend to sign treatys with people they don't really like when necessity dictates. The US and the USSR fought together to destroy the greater evil of Hitler.

None. Israel, which is a holy place for the three major monotheistic faiths, is also one of the most conquered places in the world. Every civilization has proved to be temporary; Babylon fell, Persia fell, Greece collapsed, Rome fell, the Vatican lost its reigns, China and Mongolia have been crushed before, Britain has lost much influence, Soviet Union has fallen. And like my Greek teacher, I believe America is suffering its downfall and it wont reverse itself unto greatness.

the world will not be a safer place. Other nations need US help for support. Not only in battle, but also for spying and other support. As you know, US forces are all over the globe.

HATE TO DISAGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE...bUT THEY ARE WRONG IN ASSUMING THAT THE US WIOULD LOOSE AGAINST THE WORLD FOR ONE VERY GOOD REASON !!!\n    If the entire world's navies were combined, they MIGHT make a good show against the US's Atlantic Fleet.  But then they would have to deal with the US Pacific Fleet and no combination of world power would allow them to do that.  Oh, and let's not forget the Indian Ocean Fleet and the Med. Fleet.  \n     With control of the worlds oceans we are left with only Mexico, Central America, Canada and South America to control at first and they wouldn't stand a chance.  \n     With two continents under our control and with our Navy devastating world cities across the globe, how long till the rest of the world cries uncle?

Of course. The US has enemies like any other country.

In my opinion, this two countries could be the winner if they can avoid using the war as a solution of their problems. The diplomatic conversations would create a new great atmosphere of their relations.\n\nMay God not allow another battle occurs and occurs again...\n\nBe Wise...

U.S.A.\n\nNever bet against the Red, White, and Blue

no, with the US here now, there is no world peace. It would be more violent though

The world would descend into chaos, possibly another Dark Age.  The United States is simply the greatest force for good on earth.

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.
