Who would win in a war?

I don't think the Federation would win any of the wars, The federation believes all other civilisations have the same honor and integrity as they have, while the romulans and klingons are a lot more ruthless.
The Romulans would win because they are as ruthless as the klingons but also smarter

Romulans over everyone, anyone over Klingons.

I think that the federation would defeat the Kligons and romulans, because we have seen in the past that even though the federation is not bent on war they beaten the kligons on many occassions. As for the romulans, if they could defeat the federation, I think that they would have already tried. (I mean an outright war with the federation). As for the Kligons vs Romulans, I think the Klingons have a small advantage because we have seen the Kligon Empire become weak and yet the Romulans never really attack them.

I thought this was Star Trek and not Star Wars. Yeah, I know. War is part of the hman condition and blah blah balh. But it shouldn't be the focal point in Trek. A skirmish or two with loss of life? Maybe.
The Federation showed during the Dominion War that their high moral standards went out the window when they were threatened. Starfleet approved Sisko's plan to trick the Romulans to join the war, and Section 31's virus helped end the war. They'll do whatever it takes to win.
A war between the Klingons and Romulans would likely destroy both civilizations as they would both fight to the death.

Mainly because the Romulans will do anything required to win.

Romulans beat Feddies beat Klingons.
It all comes down to intelligence.
That's funny cuz you CAN win an earthquake. The Loma Prieta earthquake in California in '89 was the same magnitude as the one in Iran several years back that killed tens of thousands. Loma Prieta killed 63 people. You win an earthquake by preparation and building standards. But Jeannette Rankin was from Montana, where there are no earthquakes, so what the fuck does she know?

Feds, Feds, Klingons.
Feds win because they have superior tech (cloaks shmokes). Klingons win because they don't pussy about, they'd be in there at Romulus, day one with the orbital bombardment...

Feds, Feds, Rommies. In a war, what do you bet the Feds wouldn't deploy ships with the Romulan cloaking technology? Former agreements be damned! Of course, there isn't war on the horizon, is there?

No but they've only ever won one which isnt very good, that was against the Dominion with help from the Klingons and Romulans, all Federation wars have ended with a peace treaty (and no surrender) where both sides have had to make sacrifices, the only other war truly won was by Earth in the Earth Romulan war but even then it wasnt truly a win as both sides agreed to peace by setting up a neutral zone and Earth had to make sacrifices such as not being allowed cloaking technology.
Since they'd be at war with each other, any and all previous treaties would be dead. There's no point in honoring them when you're at war. The Federation would deploy their own cloaking technology. A war between the Romulans and Federation could go either way but I have to say that the Federation would win. The Romulans failed to conquer the humans and their allies pre-Federation. They'd fail again now. This would also give the Klingons an excuse to go to war with the Romulans.
And I believe the cloaking technology in the Federation hands, though it was shown during TNG that it wasn't yet perfected, would be more advanced. Rommies, Klingies! GTFOH! Cloaking tech that could pass through matter, could pass through shields as well, couldn't it Timo? Send a mega bomb into the core of a planet and destroy it. They'd cry for surrender!

I can imagine the Federation deploying cloaking devices but not the Interphasic variey seen in that TNG episode, plus the Federation would unlikely be capable of designing a ship capable of fireing weapons whilst cloaked, whereas the Romulans could likely deploy ships capable of firing weapons through its cloak since Shinzons ship the scimitar had no trouble in doing so and in times of war I would imagine it would be the Romulans top priority.
Deploy a cloaked, interphasicly shielded bomb (thanks, I forgot what it was called) while briefly decloaking? That would work.
Would firing while cloaked, be of significant advantage against cloaked ships? Besides once the decision to cloak ships was made, that particular aspect of the technology would be adopted by the Federation. Discovering how it was done, and adding that capability to a cloaked ship, would have been on the drawing board right after the battle against Shinzon.

Put it this way, if an armada of cloaked Romulan Warbirds started firing on Earth what use would a cloaked Federation ship be? they'd have to decloak just to fire on the Romulans and then it would be difficult to fire on the Romulans because they'd still be cloaked, whereas the Romulans would know where every Federation ship is because they've had to decloak.
I would imagine that in a Federation/Romulan war the Federation would deploy sensors super tuned to detect quantum singularities and tetryon emissions and would no doubt deploy an upgraded anti proton beam.
