Current Mood: | Re: World War III is near, long speech by Chinese Defense minister There are just SO many reasons wy China is not a military threat to the US, and why war with the US would be the worst thing they could ever do.

Current Mood: | Re: World War III is near, long speech by Chinese Defense minister with respect the whole concept off a war between america and china is very silly. Cheap goods from china does alot for the american economy and vise versa. America isnt likely to bite the hand that feeds it and vise versa |

Lean: Independent Gender:  | Re: World War III is near, long speech by Chinese Defense minister All a war with China would do is end up losing a quarter of the earths population. America would just shrug. And WW3 wouldnt be cause because a mantal disorder from China has said some spiteful things about us. Half the world are idiots anyway for they have no idea how owerful this nation is. I pitty the individual who doesnt know about the US and how powerful it is.
I am a war science student and I can tell you with pure confidence as long as the mental disorders dont come to power then this country will remain strong. |

The only country that would reek havoc on us in conventional warfare would be GB and even that country would have a very hard time because we would obtain air superiority very quickly. Then its only a matter of time before victory is obtained. Now on a land basis the strongest country is china but we wouldnt be stupid to put troops on the ground till we bomb the smitherines out of them(not necassarily with nukes). We do have MOAB's too.
So to answer your question nukes dont even have to be in the picture. We would still decimate any country that feels they need a spanking. And loses would be minimal. |

The reverse is not true - we have the ability to pick apart their mainland defenses and literally rain fire down on their economy - not to mention blockade all their ports and eliminate their ability to export/import goods. Thus ends the war.
Would we lose people? Sure. But the issue is never in doubt. |

This is what we do to every opponent we go to war with. While under seige they are getting bombarded by a plethera of ordinance and this will also break their will. All while we are closing in. |

They also have a lot of nukes.
China is gaining military power fast, have the largest infantry. But still considerable in other areas. And has some nukes.
And any other country would no doubt draw attention and make the US even more hated. |
