  • Commonwealth vs Union of South American Nations

How would a huge war look like between the British Commonwealth and the Union of South American Nations for the Falklands?

Okay the Commonwealth isn't really a military alliance but what if the entire Commonwealth was supporting Britain and the entire Union of South American Nations supporting Argentina in a war for the Falkland Islands. What would happened? Would the combined strength of the Union of South American Nations pummel the Commonwealth of Nations?

I was hoping we could discuss what would happen and suggest plans for stuff like re-taking the Falklands with Commonwealth forces. Sort of like the discussion going on in one of the old threads on the regional forums with Sindher and others discussing what would be militarily feasible etc. We would sort of be like Armchair generals.

How such a war would look?

People would die for a island nobody ever heard of before 1982.

The Falklands are British as long as they want it to be.  Half of South America wouldn't help Argentina because they aren't suicidal.  Also, the British Navy could sink/shoot down anything before it got even remotely close to the Falklands.  They have subs and destroyers armed with the infamous Tomahawk cruise missiles that would rain havoc on the Argentine forces.  The British don't even need Commonwealth/NATO support.  We didn't help them back in the 80's because they didn't need it.

Meh, if this could ever happen I hope my house (And my home city) won't get bombed to rubble like munich.  So much people I know would die if that happens (Including my GF) and I don't want that to happen. 
On the other hand, Munich got rebuilt and now is a great city. I really don't know what the leaders of each country are capable of (My own country and the CW), I just hope that if this kind of conflict ever happens, the CW would do the sane thing and just take out the leaders and their families (They drove my country to misery while claiming to be working for the benefit of the country).

Call me traitor, or whatever you want. I think Venezuela would be better off as a colony of a developed country. As long as they don't use us as slaves to build a giant weapon, or just steal everything in here while keeping the venezuela population in misery then I would gladly support an invasion.

Again, I just want what is best for me, my family and the citizens from this country. And I know that we can't rely on ourselves to direct this country. There is an 80% of the population that lives under the poverty line, 60-80% of school drop rate. There is really no sane person that would want to invest in Venezuela, there is a 20% inflation rate per year, 60 people die everyday here murdered while the president drives a betnley.

Sorry for ranting.

CW VS USAN

CW

1 million + troops

Largest combined Air Force in the world
Best trained special forces in the world (SAS, JTF2, and others)

USAN
roughly 1 million troops
Land advantage

In all honesty if this went to CW VS USAN.

It would more or less be UK, Canada, and South Africa VS USAN.

I don't think India and some others would get involved due to the current situations in their countries/regions.

Canada even though we have a small military are efficent, we learned this from the British, and partially from when we fought the American's pushed them from our lands, invaded New Orleans, and occupied and burned the white house down in 1812.

Anyway, in this war the CW would win due to sheer force and access to Nuclear weapons. USAN wouldn't have the balls to face off against the largest nuclear group in the world 



Just sayin several of your points are a little inaccurate. 
-The Russians have literally the largest Air Force in the world (even larger than all of the Commonwealth countries combined)
-Same with the US Navy (It is larger than the next 17 combined)
-I wouldn't say the commonwealth has the BEST special forces, certainly among the best though (SEALs, Delta and MARSOC have virtually unlimited resources and are among the beast, yes SAS/Isreali Naval Commandos/Spetsnaz are up there too)
-Land can actually be a disadvantage too....


However, as we saw in the past, the UK doesn't even need allied help.

Lol @ Unlimited resources = the best. The SAS is the most copied special forces unit in the world.

Just because you don't want NATO involved doesn't means NATO won't interfere with such a situation. By only saying "No NATO" you're killing the entire point of discussion, and deforming it into a "what if the entire USAN fights against the Swiss Navy" joke.

Unless you have a way to shut up the United States, that's another story. But if you can make the US shut up on matters like this, you don't need a war at all.

Well USA cant really start a war today since they still got 1-2 war going on and China is starting to demanding theres money back.

But a fact I know Sweden (might be a small country but for us we have a big high tech army/navy/air force) would support UK and theres allies as long they keep to the Geneva convention.

But as they did on the 80s UK while win but they while pay a high price if they get main part of USAN against them, but still UK while then have NATO behind them.
