I've just bumped into this video, it is interesting but of course impossible, however anti-American sentiment in Europe is going to worsen after WikiLeaks publications I guess...:

I really don't think Erueopean leaders are going to be that surprised and I doubt our leaders pretty well know what they think about our leders basically.But europe is no longer a first line military power as seen in the Faulands war really. Hasn't been since WWII really.

I think you mean the Falklands War which was between Argentina and Great Britain - and which the British won. I don't understand how this concerns the rest of Europe or their armed forces?

But in saying that Europe is not a "first line military power" since WWII, couldn't the same also be said of the US who has also not come out as a clear cut "winner" since WWII?

Yeah, what was THAT all about? Why on earth did the British fight over a barren rock so far away from them? Does it have any minerals, large population, industry, WHAT??? What's there now?

Oil.

USA vs Europe would be a cakewalk for us. We have the power to strike anywhere, they don't without extrodanary effort. We'd beat them but we'd never own them. As Iraq has proved, you can beat a country militarily but never subdue the populace.

A couple of hundred British citizens who wanted to remain British?

I have a easier question to ask. In this hypothetical apocalyptic war across the Atlantic what exactly would the Europeans use for implements of destruction?

That was the most moronic video I've ever seen. I wonder if the guy regularly posts on city-data.
