We would see an attack coming days or weeks in advance via ‘national technical means’ as well as by way of human intelligence.

You mean like we did at Pearl Harbor, Or when the Chinese crossed the Yalu, or that whole Tet Offensive thing. How about 9/11 did we see that coming. When the Chinese hold an "Exercise" do you attack them first or take the risk that it might be a preliminary for a surprise attack?

And note, I never said we would not declare war. I said we would not go nuclear unless the other guy went there first. Big difference. If we went nuclear most of our major cities would go in the Chinese counter strike. How many of Obama's limousine liberals are going to escalate a war knowing that they will trade LA, San Francisco, Seattle and Hawaii for Guam? Or would they try to keep the war contained in the Western Pacific and conventional.

don’t believe US loses cities in the ChiCom counterstrike ... we have ballistic missile defense, which I believe is several order of magnitudes than is publicly advertised ...
