could germany win a war against a superpower

[Mortimer]

like against UK, the USA or Russia? i mean like in WW2. right now it couldnt but if there would be a new führer and a new reich germany could within 2-3 years reorganise its military and even built nukes if they wanted, because they have much money and the abilities and military tradition of war. i think germany could win war.

[Smaug]

No.

Vs France, yes.

UK is a superpower? The answer is no, both America and Russia have the second strike ability something we wouldnt survive because Germany is rather small and the population rather concentrated. Certainly not the best starting position for an all-out nuclear war.

i think UK is a superpower. at least in europe but also in world. they have lots of armour, nukes, ships, airplanes, bombers etc. they invest in army and are behind major world conflicts. similar to USA

Vs France, yes.

No.

France has the capability of building their own weaponry, while most of German's war machines are imported or rather build under joint ventures with other countries (countries that IM says Germany would fight) like the Eurofighter Typhoon or the Panavia Tornado...

you think germany couldnt built up weapon industry in a year from nothing? if they wanted they could but than world would attack them, they need to sign a compromise they wont built weapons thats why they dont have. germany is not allowed to posses or built nukes

And that's the reason they couldn't win a war. You answered to your own question. A war is not won by the weapons you have, but by the weapons you are going to have to build as the conflict goes on.

but i just said overnight it could change if different persons are in power in germany and if they wanted to risk war. probably none would attack germany if they were to appear as more aggressive but appease the allies somehow too. not even hitler were attacked for annexing austria and builting weapons he was hypothetically not allowed to have, so i guess a democracy in german even less so.

No way. Germans passed through a process of brainwashing after WWII, they are totally ashamed of their Nazi past, so I don't think it would happen again. You also have to analyze the current political moment. Europe is much more united today, and everybody is worried about the economical crisis, not in annexing neighbouring countries.
