They have no ability to invade Russia, whatsoever, but Russia does have the transport to get troops into Britain. It would turn into a naval engagement which Britain would lose simply because of the amount of subs that Russia has.
If France were to join the UK then they would lose even quicker. We all know how the frenchies fight.

I do hope that this is all tongue-in-cheek? Because, seriously, it's highly, highly doubtful that there would be a war between any of these world powers. That seems like fantasy or a film script or a game storyline
Many countries' economies are so interrelated that war is actually detrimental and neither country is in such dire economic circumstances and they're certainly not suicidal.
I highly doubt that we'd see the US and Russia going to war - except by proxy (e.g. Syria) or some indirect manner. I highly doubt that we'd see an actual direct confrontation and public warring. What we mostly see nowadays are "spy wars", trade wars, economic wars, cyber warfare etc. This isn't the Cold War era anymore whereby either power has their finger on the button - we've moved on since then!

Of course you are exactly correct but its fun to play with hypotheticals.
Never hurts to analyze countries abilities.

I have just heard on BBC Radio 4 that it looks like UK have really rubbed Russia up the wrong way, and it is getting worse tonight, even Tory MP's are demanding Cameron makes a full statement in the house before UK starts a war with Russia & Iran over UK giving arms to Camerons Muslim brothers. One thing that worries UK MP's is the weapons weve already given to Terrorists abroad have found a way into the UK in teorrests homes.
