As an ex-navy once serving in that area, I do not doubt, if unconstrained by traitorous politicos, beijing, china could be bombed into the stone age within hours by the United States military.

Depends on the ROE.

Remember they are a nuclear power. Is LA worth Taiwan?

That is absolutely true and it is the reason why we are going to see more and more lies about the Superior Chinese military. They want to break the will of the American people. The will of the people is just as important in battle as the strength of the fighting forces. They are going to try to convince us that surrender is the best option. It's an absurd lie but it won't matter if the people believe it.

I sure hope you're correct because CCP is on a fast track to become world dominant. They are building carriers, aircraft, subs, missles, nukes at a dizzying pace. I just hope they subscribe to MAD.

I look at that choke point at the Straits of Malacca and think how easy it would be for a single nuke sub to close off China’s Middle Eastern oil.
