which would ensure the nuking of america. i mean, do you think the chinese would rest until a nuclear bomb of their own went off here? there is a term, mutual assured destruction. china has second strike capabilities. they got a lot of help building nukes from the russians, so they could have some variant of the dead hand system where nukes are automatically launched back by a computer, even if everyone is dead. they also have submarine launched missiles in service too, so they could hit back that way as well. it would probably be the end of the world. but really, i think the whole thing is moot, because why would china want to attack us? we are their number one trading partner. we buy all the junk they make. we are making them rich. i guess they could want to deter us from intervening in taiwain or something...
