The USA won with the help of the french in the american revolution, and we have since become allies, but which nation would win in a modern day war?

In the centuries since we last fought, the United States has become powerful, angry, and let's face it, downright insane. There's also the fact that the US has a substantially larger army. If the US and UK went to war today, assuming neither had support from any other country, the Queen would be waving Old Glory by the end of the month.

thats what I was thinking, the US would probably win due to dedication, size, and power.

If Nuke's get used, then both countries lose. Otherwise the US win (easily).

Well, yeah, I was kind of assuming we wouldn't go there. The UK's stockpile is probably no where near the US's, but a nuclear weapon is the kind of thing you don't need a lot of in order to wreck a civilization.

U.S., and then it will become even more paranoid.

I say by the end of the week.

The US would win easily.

Not necessarily. The US is much larger in area and population, a nuke would have much more devastating effects on the UK in terms of killing its population and destroying land.

Well, sure, as far as population density and actual landmass goes we'd fare better after a nuclear attack. But if an actual nuclear exchange were to occur between any nuclear-capable superpowers, population density and landmass don't factor into it.
