If the United States is so weak, why doesn't anyone attack instead of talk? It's because we would destroy them if they did.
Like the 22 Terrorist's back in 2001 ? from then to now the US has become a Rabid Psychotic Serial Killer who has been hell bent on invading more Countries than it usually did. I bet the Romans thought back in the day they were invincible as well.
If WW3 started I would be more worried of the Americans than any other nation, no other Country has used Nuclear weapons on civilians and the USA see's everyone and everything as a hostile enemy.

United States Naval Space Command.
Tremble before it's might.
Not to mention US Navy Laser weapons and rail guns, and that's what's public knowledge.
Russia's navy is 40% rust and 60% Putin's chest hair.

I think at this point we should stop talking about individual nations and who would win. The west is not going to start a war and any action Russia takes against a NATO members will end putins presidency.

The US has nearly as many subs as Russia and China combined. The difference is our subs have the technological advantage.

USA
473 craft
20 Aircraft carriers
62 Destroyers
55 Submarines
China
673 craft
1 Aircraft carrier
47 Frigates
25 Destroyers
67 Submarines
Russia
352 craft
4 Frigate
12 Destroyer
1 Aircraft carrier
55 submarines.
In terms of numbers the US has supremacy in surface craft but the submarine fleets are similar numbers,the stand out of course is 20 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS.There are only 2 real models in recent history to give any guide in World War 2 torpedos and mines sunk many ships,direct ship to ship contact however wasn't that common in the decisive battles of the Coral Sea,Midway and Pearl Harbour it was mostly carrier based aircraft that did the damage more recently in the Falklands it was again airpower that did most of the damage however submarines sank ships as well.I think its a given that the US navy can pick up surface combatants far enough away to not let them close enough to be a problem if they choose too,so the question is how good are their submarines and how good is the US navy at anti-submarine warfare which hasn't been tested for quite some time, but I would think that with all the layers of protection around a carrier it was be easier said than done to attack one.
