I was just reading up about how big the Russian mafia has become right now and I'm curious, if the Irish mob and the Italian (primarily Sicilian) mafia formed an alliance together against the Russians, do you think they could take them out?
Think Irish mobs and Italian mafia could stamp out Russian mafia?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
no, i dont think they heave the resources to attack each others native countries turf.
could they team up to drive the russian mob out of a specific area? sure. but stop them completely? no.
edit- you should include the mexican cartel in this, those dudes are scary.
You're right, the Russian mafia is way too Global. However, there are a lot of Irish and Italians in the U.S. I believe they could drive them out. The Mexican cartel is scary, but that's because unlike the Irish and Italians, they do not have a structured code and so therefor they have no boundaries or limits. They're too wreckless.

It's probably bad how not intimidated I am by the 'gangster' types. Maybe it's all the skinny white boys in my high school who worshiped them.
"Gangster" and Mafia are different. Gangsters like publicity and wear certain clothing to attract attention. Mafia does not. There's a reason it's called "organized crime". Lol

Just for the five minutes at the end though. The rest can go fuck itself. I just want to see Hitler in a battle to the death against Napoleon.

No it'd be Hitler vs Stalin.

How about every other week is "Hitler Vs." week where Hitler battles historical figures and militaristic organizations by himself.
The thing that makes the Russians scary is the fact so much of their leadership are ruthless, military or intelligence trained bastards.
I know the cops had a lot of issues with them here in Sydney in the 90s; not sure what it is like these days

They actually did Yakuza vs Mafia (Italian I believe). But whatever, I watched that show once and it wasn't factual and scientific enough, it was trying to be ''edgy'' a bit too much.

Haha. I'd figure if the topic was about the mafia vs yakuza they would try to be "edgy".

nah dude the Russian Mob is mighty and have guys like this:
Thanks for that. I'd forgotten that bit of the movie. Best part. Didn't much care for the rest.
You guys are entirely too optimistic; they would work together and make your entire neighborhood a crime ridden strength-wins-all barbaric hellhole. Gang wars are just a feint.
You can't have nothing in this world because someone will take it from you and hurt you soon enough. It's just a matter of how much you're left with.
Eliminate due process. Create the Ultra Marines. Replace All Ownership with Worship for the Emperor. Kill all Heretics.
The Ultra Marines will get it done. For the Emperor!

Maybe. But if you include Yakuza it's no contest. The Russians wouldn't stand against the Yakuza.
As cool as the Yakuza are with their Ninja-ness and disaprine and honor and all that, their resources don't match the Russian mob's. Russia is corrupt as fuck, the mob controls everything on some level. Maybe one drunken sergei with his Kalashnikov would get decimated in against a ninja-trained, four-fingered Yakuza dude with his Katana, but the russian mob have a billion sergeis.

(Apologies for vague racism, please don't ban me, I'm just kidding)
My money's on the Russians and the Mexicans. And the Sicilian mob has nothing on the Camorra (Neapolitan Mob).
All Italian prospects are now too worry about spiky hair and tanning salons to live a life of crime.

LOL!
But in all honesty, the Russians have way more money, more resources, and pretty much more everything. And they are most likely way more ruthless than the others, more well trained too considering many of them are ex-Russian Special Forces. Add to that the fact that the Italian Mafia has been in serious decline, it is just the evolution of the criminal underworld; there will always be someone to take the place of the previous powers.
according to S.T.A.K.E.R the Russian mafia would steam roll any other mafia.
And I'm Irish! But the Irish never faced supernatural beings in video game form.
Well, I'm not sure. It seems unlikely that any entire mafias would declare war on another entire group of organized criminal networks based on ethnicity. From what I've seen, most mob families are seeking long term stability. The end goal is not to be the biggest, best mafia in the world, Sid Meier style- but rather finding safe methods to secure assets by channeling them through small businesses. Thus, I feel like these mafias are more focused on settling internal conflicts and resolving external liabilities than large-scale war mongering.
Lol I think the Russian mob could stomp out Ireland and Italy as countries if the wanted to. As Germany learned when fighting them, there are a lot of Russians and they are mean. Decades spent under the boot of commies, freezing your ass off and eating gruel in some Siberian forced labor prison camp makes you into a big tough mean bastard. Plus they have military weapons and training. After the Soviets went down loads of nukes and weapons vanished, who do you think it was that sold nukes to everyone we hate? The answer is of course the recently fired Soviet ex-army. The Soviet army was the largest in the world; after the country fell apart most of them could not keep their jobs so they had to go somewhere and being in the mafia sounds way better then starving. Thus you have people raised in the toughest conditions, with military training and armed with high tech weapons. Would be a massacre.

There's still an irish mob in America, wut?
Besides shouldn't the majority of Irish & Italian Americans now be like 10 other ethnicities and have no ties to the mother land since most of them settled in melting pots (New York, California etc)?

You hadn't noticed that already? Anyway, back on the topic of Hitler VS mecha Hitler.....
Mecha Hitler obviously would win. He's everything Hitler is in a metal body. It's no contest.
As for the OP, no grouping of that kind would work in the end as they have been at war with each other for too long to ever get along. All it would take would be one idiot with bad blood with another to meet up at the wrong time and it all goes to shit and they start in fighting again.
No. You can't stamp out an entire nation's mafia no matter how many men you have. Also, this isn't a fucking video game and if this were to happen, the streets would literally flow with blood. Please dont jest about criminal organizations that brutally murder innocents, it makes society humanize with monsters

I never heard of the Irish mob before, I don’t think that they are active in Canada.
That's what they want you to think.
Exactly. Irish-mobs are still very active around the world. They work in secrecy. The Italians are the ones who love to bask in the media.
