Dummies. War how? Do they have any idea how many nuclear subs we have parked off their shores? I don’t either.

China is not without a way to do damage to anyone with a nuclear attack. China developed nuclear weapons during the Cold War and has since maintained a relatively modest arsenal of ~250 warheads and bombs. Fewer than a hundred of these weapons could reach the United States, though China, like Russia, has increase its capabilities in response to advances in US missile defense.

As China increases its military capacity in East Asia, and the US expands its military forces in the region, the risk of military conflict grows—and so does the risk of nuclear war.

The Chinese capacity to conventional war has increased as they have been placing emphasis on their navy with the construction and launching of vessels. But they are geared to defense more than offense. Like any country that lives under third world thought processes, loss is acceptable if the goal is reached. Their main goal is to keep the mainland sound. (CYA) But they are aware they are years behind us in technology, size, and capacity. They don’t want direct conflict like Iran pushes for. But they are prepared to determine anything as an attack. I think you call that thin skinned, which can promote pre-mature reaction.

So WTF is going to happen now? Will we get into a nuclear war? I think the left has no care in the world if 50 million more Americans die of a virus or a nuclear strike. China would cease to exist. The left is playing with fire. Hey,if it’s the end of the world,at least they got Trump in their eyes.

Chicoms are willing to sacrifice their entire population and the Chinese are accustomed to hardship more so than Americans are.
