    The U.S spends more on military than the next 7 countries combined. It'd put up a good fight. Probably conquer Canada/Mexico in hours (I'd assume they would just concede the same way Paris/France conceded to the Nazis in WW2), and then we'd also have the advantage in Eurasia. We could nuke most of western Europe, and the only country that could really stop us is Russia because they also have a comparable number of nukes. If we successfully disarm them and are the sole nuclear super power in the world, I could see the U.S winning ww3 and becoming a global government.

      The next seven countries combined (the next eleven, in fact) are all in green in the above map. #12 is Canada, and every other country is either supporting this resolution or abstaining. The US could well win a third world war but it wouldn't happen the way you say. Nukes won't be used in conflicts by nation-states, only (and hopefully not) by rogue groups that get their hands on one. Nukes are a deterrent nowadays rather than a weapon.

        I don't trust that the U.S will always do the right thing with nukes. Maybe you have unwavering faith in the good heart of the imperialist core to never use nukes in conflicts, I'm not as trusting.

        Canada is also still under the monarchy so it's not like we could side with America against the world
