>> It would escalate to nukes at some point.
If I were president, China would be informed in no uncertain terms that *any* military attack on Taiwan would be met with immediate nuclear destruction of every major population center in China.
China is prepared to “lose” 900,000,000 people. They would still have enough to do damage. They are in cahoots with the Russians, and will attack through Alaska....remember this warning. I see it coming within the next five years. Nuclear war is survivable if you are out of the blast zone. Both Russia and China have taught their populations how to do so, while we cry and moan about “nuclear winter”. Does anyone seriously think that 0 has the tessicles (little Larry Holmes lingo) to stand up to them? The next 6 years are going to be frightening, that much is sure.....and yes, I do believe 0 will win the Presidency. It is necessary for “Evil”(noun) that he remains in charge
China doesn't have enough nuclear ballistic submarines to ensure a mutually assured destruction. But they are working on building a fleet of them. Would you then give the same advice when they do have them?
Plus, can you be confident that their land based nuclear missles, if not a mutual destruction, at least partial destruction of the US. And all over Taiwan? And also, once again, in the future, when even the land based can assure a mutual assurd destruction, will you still make such a suggestion?
