Ask AI: Who would win in a nuclear war, Russia or the United States of America

In terms of a nuclear war, no side would actually "win" as the effects of nuclear warfare would be devastating on a massive scale for both countries and likely the entire world. This includes immediate damage from the blast, long-term radiation effects, and the potential for a nuclear winter — a global climatic cooling effect that could potentially cause a massive loss of life worldwide. It's also important to note that possessing nuclear weapons and using them are widely discouraged under international law. Dialogue, diplomacy, and non-violence are always the preferred methods of resolving conflicts.

? It is impossible to accurately predict who would win a nuclear war between the United States and Russia. Both countries possess massive nuclear arsenals, and an all-out nuclear war would be catastrophic for both nations, as well as the entire world.
