Rare earth metals would be extremely hard to keep recycling when they are blown up. Our fancy toys need them.

Is it possible to generate a large scale EMP without going nuclear?

Well, guess they'd have to on the offensive.
And can we at least keep the UK and Israel as allies?
Let the Israelis tie up the middle east with their much wanted holy war

I am having a hard time imagining how intensely all of our carrier battle groups could bring it at once.
To tell them, "gloves off", is serious destruction.
*Israel would take the opportunity to rid itself of Iran et all

I think a lot of you would be seriously disappointed in the effectiveness of a real life EMP,

I want to be all MERICA about this, but the world vs us doesn't make me hopeful. The number of forces that would be lined up at the Mexican and Canadian borders would be staggering. These countries would also have an entire year to prepare together.
All agreement would be off except nukes and WMD. They would bring back poison gas, which would be horrific. We would have to have a draft to come close to competing with their number of troops.
In the end we would figure of how to turn their smart phones in to IEDs and win. MERICA!

Poison gas counts as WMD.

I believe 40% of the oil used in the US is imported. Now obviously the US exports oil as well, but we don't export as much as we import. This is only talking about energy. There are many resources that we rely on other countries for.

That, and as said, you'd have to ship a good number of troops over two huge oceans with the US Navy lurking. They'd have to rely on Latin America opening up one front and I doubt their effectiveness in both tech, weaponry, and discipline. They'd also need to hope Canada could stave off any US offensives

Seriously did you just not watch the world lose an airliner, did you not watch the shite show that was 30yo Soviet aircraft flown by 50yo Vietnamese pilots? We have China and Russia, that is our only threat

Go WWII on it and ration out oil and fuel for the war effort. IF the citizens vehicles are restricted from free roam it would be a HUGE burden lifted off of oil needs. I honestly dunno the numbers or logistics of it all but if the US fully concentrated on the war effort I believe it could be done. Invading Canada was also suggested

Our ship based navy would get taken out pretty quickly by ship killer missiles China, Russia, and Europe definitely have... It would be up to the boats, subs would be the name of the game in the water. It would be interesting to see how long our ships would last from a heavy attack from the rest of the world firing everyone ship killer they got at us though.
Ships on every side would be fricked.

after we lose our ability to keep producing our carriers, Air Force, and fuel on the necessary scale to keep them intact, we would no longer control the air.
If this hypothetical were to happen, it wont be a type of war where each side can just continue to pump out navy ships to restock their fleets.
Its pretty much a fight with what you have right now war in terms of navy vessels.

Our food source would be attacked as would every thing else.
Our food source is our own land. Once again, we are the largest producer and exporter of food in the world. Food wouldnt be a problem.

The world is a very large place, they would keep going.
And in this world, very few countries could realistically make their way to our land and attack us. Think about a continent like Africa and their ability to attack us. It doesnt exist. Who in the Middle East can transport any kind of military action to our country?
So many countries in the world will be watching this war on their asses with no possible way to help, except maybe making war materials in their country for the other side.

I dont think the carrier groups are invulnerable, but our capabilities to reach out and touch has been greater than theirs
Posted on 3/26/14 at 10:53 pm to Deactived
And few have the infrastructure at the moment or finances available to churn out supplies like the US did in WWII. And even with the modern fleets they'd have to rely on commercial ships to get a lot of troops over here

Yea the logistics of getting people here would be unreal.

I doubt you would see any ships created besides transport. Our high tech ships would just got down to quickly to try to sustain them.

That land would be under attack from everything that they could throw at us besides WMDs and nukes.

They have had a year to prepare, they would all be sitting in Mexico and Canada already.
