In most conventional scenarios, even the European allies alone would give NATO a tremendous medium term advantage over the Russians Russia might take parts of the Baltics, but it would suffer heavily under NATO airpower, and likely couldn’t hold stolen territory for long. If the United States fights, then Germany, France, Poland and the United Kingdom will follow. allies in Europe, the United States has no reason to fight Russia apart from maintaining the integrity of the NATO alliance.

Long range aviation, including stealth bombers and similar assets, would operate in both theaters as needed. The bulk of American carriers, submarines and surface vessels would concentrate in the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, fighting directly against China’s A2/AD system and sitting astride China’s maritime transit lanes. Army assets to Europe to assist with any serious fighting. Depending on the length of the conflict and the degree of warning provided, the United States could transport considerable U.S. Navy (USN) can concentrate its forces in the Pacific. This means that while the United States and its NATO allies can allocate some resources to threatening Russia’s maritime space (and providing insurance against a Russian naval sortie,) the U.S. Russia lacks the ability to fight NATO in the North Atlantic, and probably has no political interest in trying. Air Force (USAF) would play a supporting role in both theaters. Army would bear the brunt of defending Europe, while the Navy would concentrate on the Pacific.
As was the case in World War II, the U.S. On the upside, only some of the requirements for fighting in Europe and the Pacific overlap.
