Who won World War II? Who's going to win World War III? USA of course. Nobody cares about losing Vietnam or Afghanistan. S**t-hole places and money drains.
Russia won World War II. Some other nations helped. Britain, for instance, had Alan Turing. Thanks to him, German submarine attacks on convoys bringing food, machines, soldiers to Europe were greatly reduced. BTW, my mother was one of Alan Turing's computers (the many young ladies who performed Turing's algorithm on simple calculating machines). She was at one of the outstations of Bletchley Park - the whole operation was duplicated at two other locations.
[aside: Nobody really won World War I. Germany was starved into submission.]
World War III - that might be China vs US. China is doing pretty well, so far. Climate change is a complicating factor. Might make it come sooner, might postpone it a bit.
