This war scenario is silly
Also I don't think people understand the implications of Nuclear war, a lot of European nations have a high tech military and still operate overseas bases like Falklands, the French in Caribbean Sea near Cuba, in the Indian Ocean, in Africa, in the Pacific, France for example has missiles, aircraft deliverable nuclear weapon stockpile, the British got cruise missiles and operate a series of nuke Submarines in case of Nuclear war...someone could hit Europe but before those hits land, it is very possible Europe would already be hitting back...they might not Nuke say all of the USA but in a total war vs US and Europe, you can be sure somewhere would be hit, say I don't know New York, Okinawa, Miami Flordia, Texas, California...somewhere would get nuked and in a nuclear war nobody wins
The Bombs today are thousands of times more powerful than Nuclear weapons which were dropped on Hiroshima, Hiroshima & Nagasaki After the Atomic Bombings: Documentary Film - People, Radiation
Let's ignore the reality and let's look at this battle game and let's play this out for a second, the USA launches a surprise attack, ships, aircraft, waves of soldiers...it also launch nukes hitting Europe with nuclear weapons over 40 times....major military sites, cities, strategic areas nuked
However just before they USA missiles land, the Euros also see the incoming missiles, French get a few birds in the air and some of their aircraft gets it missiles off, British Nuke Submarine which typically is very stealthy and hard to find also gets some of its nukes off
...the USA nukes Europe invades, but European nations hit back and strike say Washington, Hawaii, Okinawa, NewYork, California, Texas
...what do you do...would you continue pouring troops into an already nuked Europe to try and occupy and control more territory....or do you deal with the Crisis at home....you have already lost some of your major US Cities including your Capital and Economic hubs, you have also left your military vulnerable as you have lost overseas territory and your nation with a broken economy and broke non functional government is now vulnerable to any invasion from anyone...say Russia, Canada, China, Brazil maybe anyone can now plot to take America as it is crippled
You might have suddenly created a new group of Euro-terrorists...do you think America would say nuke France and the British...without any overseas workers or British and French students inside the USA not responding with some kind of shooting attack
in your battle conditions I'm not sure anyone 'wins'
the world would also suddenly see an instant severe and sharp economic depression, there may be foot riots, bank runs, as both the 2 major world Economies the USA and the Eurozone are now at war with each other...
....how do you pay for such a war with this sudden economic recession, worse than any recession before?
There would also be a flight of money, gold, stocks and capital to more stable nations like say Russia, India, China etc
