Recently, many people have been paying attention to whether Russia will really use tactical nuclear missiles against Ukrainian , and whether the United States and Russia will fight directly.
can actually be almost certain that this is impossible. First of all, if Russia uses nuclear weapon , the neutral Turkey , India and other countries may directly turn to Ukraine. At the same time, many other third-world countries that were originally neutral will also become disgusted with Russia's behavior. After all, this is two completely different concepts from the United States' use of nuclear weapons against Japan during World War II . At the same time, even small-scale tactical nuclear weapons will hurt a large number of innocent civilians, which is something that Putin cannot bear. After all, no one wants to become a completely negative example in history books in the future.
In addition, if Russia really ignores the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine, will the United States go directly to war against Russia? is also completely impossible in my opinion. The United States may increase sanctions on Russia in all aspects, but there will never be an armed conflict with Russia. In addition to both sides having nuclear forces that are enough to destroy each other, even if they are not used, the casualties of both sides are immeasurable. You must know that American politicians and the people cannot truly damage their core interests for the sake of Ukraine. , and in recent battles, they also attached great importance to the casualties of their own soldiers.
About 400,000 killed in World War II
This may be the only absolutely just act of war in the United States recognized by the world. It is also the largest foreign war in history with the United States. It is also the only time that it truly has a common enemy and a common goal with our country!
As the latest superpower to participate in the World War II, although the personnel losses were not serious compared to the casualties of allies such as the former Soviet Union and China, the United States still paid 400,000 lives.
The United States confronted Japan directly on Pacific battlefield , and about 120,000 US soldiers were killed. Of course, they hit each other harder. According to statistics, the number of Japanese casualties in the Pacific battlefield was about 1.5 million.
However, even in the face of such a huge gap in the number of people killed, the United States still does not want more soldiers to confront the Japanese army head-on. They would rather choose to use nuclear weapons that affect ordinary Japanese people, which shows how much they value their soldiers' lives.
Of course, the most serious casualties in the United States in World War II were on the European battlefield. According to statistics, about 250,000 American soldiers paid their young lives on the way to eliminate German and Italian fascists, and there were 30,000 to 40,000 people killed in battle.
Vietnam War was killed by about 60,000
When the former British, French and German powers were severely injured due to the two world wars, the United States became the only two superpowers in the world. They competed with the former Soviet Union in all parts of the world to win over their younger brothers.
By the 1950s, a civil war broke out in Vietnam . The pro-Soviet northern Vietnam regime and the pro-French southern regime broke out in a pro-French regime. By 1954, France, whose national strength had sharply declined, was unable to control the direction of Vietnam's civil war and could only return home in shame. However, the strong United States did not agree. They not only gave money and guns to the South Vietnam regime, but also sent troops directly to the end. The Vietnam War really started.
From 1955 to 1975, the total number of soldiers sent by the United States to the Vietnam battlefield reached 650,000 in 20 years. While they buried 2 million innocent Vietnamese people and 1.1 million North Vietnamese soldiers in the war, they also paid the price of more than 58,000 soldiers killed, more than 2,000 others disappeared, and more than 300,000 American soldiers were injured.
This war can be said to have severely damaged the United States. It not only paid as much as US$250 billion in the 1960s and 1970s, but also caused more than 360,000 casualties in its own country.This was an unjust war. At the same time, the United States did not achieve the expected goal due to such a huge price of casualties. Faced with the domestic public opinion, they could only be forced to withdraw their troops. At the same time, this war also made the US government's priority in foreign wars, and the second was the so-called strategic value in their eyes.
Gulf War 200 people
This is a war launched by the multinational coalition led by the United States in the early 1990s against Iraqi , which was then the fourth military power in the world. In fact, to put it more thoroughly, it is not that the United States is so noble, it is nothing more than coveting the oil wealth of the Middle East.
However, it is said that the most precious "wealth" left by the Vietnam War to the United States may be that they will pay more attention to the importance of the construction of military informationization to war in the next twenty years.
From January 17 to February 23, 1991, the United States-led multinational forces dispatched nearly 100,000 fighter jets to Iraq, dropped more than 90,000 tons of bombs, and fired more than 300 different models of cruise missiles and various precision guided weapons , causing irreversible damage to Iraq's radar air defense reconnaissance system, military airport , and heavy tanks and other core facilities. It can be said that the Iraqi army has lost more than half of its combat strength before an American soldier has seen it.
In this battle, Iraqi troops killed more than 20,000 people, more than 86,000 were captured, more than 300 aircraft, more than 3800 tanks, and more than 140 ships of various types.
. The United States only killed more than 200 people in this war and was injured by more than 400 people. This war-loss ratio also allowed countries around the world to see the importance of informatization construction to the army in a modern war. It is also the smoothest blitzkrieg that the United States has fought since World War II.
Of course, the United States was a little fluttering in the Afghan War and the Iraq War, especially the Afghan War. Faced with the complex terrain, they have never achieved their strategic goals in the past 20 years. In the end, under domestic pressure, the US government completely withdrew its troops from Afghanistan in August 2021.
In the 20 years from 2001 to 2021, the United States paid a total of about 2,200 deaths and more than 20,000 injuries in the Afghan War, and the war cost more than 1 trillion US dollars. It can be seen that even the United States, known as the "world policeman", is not an invincible existence.
At the same time, facing a poor country like Afghanistan, the United States cannot escape unscathed. How could they directly work with Russia with a vast territory? So World War III is simply impossible.
