How Would A War between Russia and NATO Play Out?

[acid rain]

How so ??

The US controls one half of the muslim countries and Russia controls the other half.

 

[As is - where is]

We can only hope that the ceasefire remains and that the EU won't impose any new sanctions. Maybe the rebels agree on a plan and then elections will be held normally near the end of the year

If the ceasefire breaks on the side of the rebels, the EU will impose more sanctions on leaders of the rebels and Russian officials by Monday.

I think that in a conventional war between Russia and NATO,Nato has edge since European technology is better than that of Ruskies but Russian believes fielding technologically inferior weapons but more in numbers and numbers itself is a quality.
Due to war economy of both NATO and Russia will be severely damaged since NATO countries are democratic so there will public pressure on them to stop the war as soon as possible,no such problem exists for Russia.
If Russian airforce acts smartly it may be able to end the war with heavy losses on both sides.
Nuclear war is also possible depending upon what is at stake.

How many parents in the US, Britain, France and Turkey would send their sons to die to defend Tallinn and Riga?

It seems that the 'rivalry' between Russia and the West is making it's way back into the society. I don't expect any war to occur.

It is established that NATO is the aggressor in this situation. They're trying to encircle Russia and harm its security interests.

That being said, if future tensions occur with missile defense for example on Russia's border or more NATO deployments that lead to a situation where war is imminent...

How would it play out and will it be a sustained war or a quick conventional show of power/warning?

Here is my scenario:

Pew pew pew
Poof pooof poof

Something like that more or less.

Good analysis.

Who benefits in the end? I should ask. In the end, what nation comes out at the top?

I would bet that NATO nations would come out on top in the end.

NATO would smack Russia so hard they wouldn't know what hit them. Combined NATO strength is far greater than Russia's strength. The only problem or Achilles heal is politcal disunity. Europe is not united. Nationalism and national interest collide with Europe's collective (non)identity.

How long will the Germans pay the Greek's bills? And when Germany stops paying, how will Greeks react when their belly starts making noices?

If Russia invades Poland, will the French send their smelly army to defend the Poles?

How long will Turkey put up with NATO's shyt and disregard for Turkish interests?

All questions one should ask oneself.

Its an integrated military alliance. Such alliance systems require sacrifices on each member state. The UK will do its part, just as it did when it supported the American-led invasion and occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan, as well as operations in Libya. In fact, the greatest contributor of military support in any NATO engagement , aside from the United States, is the United Kingdom.

Afghanistan is not Russia!
The point is that these countries simply aren't important to most Westerners and it's unlikely they would want to risk a war for them. I'm personally very fond of the Baltic states (especially the ladies) but I think letting them into NATO made things worse. Now that they know they have Western backing they have spent the last ten years doing everything they can to annoy Russia. If they didn't belong to the alliance they would have tread more carefully.

NATO seems to have edge at the moment but remember there is also a nuke factor.Secondly things could get complicated for NATO if nations like China join.

Truly, the wise analysis of a think tank. Just kidding bro.

I don't see what China has to gain from joining in a war between Nato/Russia. It's not like China can even get a significant number of troops to that theater. Maybe China would do something on the SCS front as in snagging some more islands but I doubt that will lead to any bloodshed. China would probably sit out a NATO/Russia conflict turned WW3 if at all possible. India will too if they're smart.
