Interesting article. reminds me about author Jack London in 1905 ´when a Japanese officer told him about future plans to attack america and nobody believed him.

SKILMATIC said: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.

M14 Shooter said:I have several thousand reasons why that's not so, and each is 5280 feet long and very wet-- China has no way to project conventional military force against the United States.
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.
SKILMATIC said: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.
At this point, the Russian military is just barely a threat to the Chehcyns, much less the US.Comrade Brian said:Not really so. Russia has the most tanks by far. And the largest submarine fleet, and still considerable air power. And a large overall military. They also have a lot of nukes.
Navy. They need a Navy.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.
Stu Ghatze said:I'm going to tell some of the feel good people here that "communism" IS still a real threat, especially so for a militarized nation as the republic of China.
Those may say to themselves, "Oh China has no wish for war, & that they are a growing economy etc"!
That is all very correct, ..but China also has much patience as most Asians do in their culture.
China & America might at the moment be getting along just fine; ...but communism is an enemy to capitalism. THEY KNOW THIS, ..& THEY ALSO KNOW THAT IF AMERICA WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE PICTURE, THEY COULD LITERALLY RULE THE WORLD.
Right now they are NOT ready for any risk of war as they possess only about 800 nuclear weapons to America's rough estimate of over 10,000.
Forget any land battles with China as they can EASILY field an army of well OVER 200 million IF they had to, ..perhaps more. Scarey...when one figures they could have an army the size of the WHOLE population of America.
For decades China has stolen the technologies of other nations, ..& much of it has come by way of technological espionage, ..as well as simply cloak & dagger spying often masquerading as "diplomats" etc.
China does NOT respect patents, ..& copies them thus saving themselves "billions" in research, & development.
The liberal dreamers can pretend that China is so much more honorable than their own country in believing that China would make no such effort to hold the world hostage through threat of war, ....but when China is finally technologically equal, or surpasses America & America's allies, & its economy becomes virtually stronger than America's; they WILL CLASH with America.
If China was at "where" they would like to be, be assurred the Taiwan issue would have already been settled, ..& they would gladly be "taking" any g-damn thing they like which includes the worlds resources.
They may smile, & be correct among the political dignitaries, BUT make no mistake, ...there WILL be war eventually. Maybe 10-20-...or perhaps 30 years from now, BUT it WILL come!
At the moment America could literally turn China into glass, & they KNOW it! America would NOT need to even put one soldier on their mainland either to accomplish a complete sterilization of them, & THEY KNOW THAT TOO!
China, ..& communist atheistic doctrine is so much different than other nations. THEY would GLADLY sacrifice hundreds of millions of their own IF they thought that they could actually defeat the United States.
Internationally, & in public of course...this may sound like "insanity" to the rest of the world, ..& the world at large probably would not believe this; & China can & does sound so "civilized" & very charming these days but China is simply NOT ready economically, & the fact that in spite of all the nay sayers, the American economy on its worst days is STILL much stronger than China's.
China is STILL very much backwards in many ways, ..it is that their rural areas escape public worldwide scrutiny, & it is the "modern" China that everybody usually sees.
I suspect that China will be ever so "civilized' sounding as she has, & will continue to court the nations that rank high in technology etc, & as always appear to be "sleeping", but in reality China is simply biding her time.
Think not that China will not upgrade, & continue to build more nuclear weapons to add to her arsenal, & advance her military capabilities to the point when China has virtually as many nuclear weapons in her arsenal as America does, ...& WHEN that happens China will not be concerned about risking millions of her population to destroy America, & the whole capitalistic system.
America can NOT afford to lose a hundred million of its population in a nuclear war, ..but China CAN as they have over 1-billion people; & in the decades past China has even made such statements.
In our modern civilized times of today, the Chinese communists put a smile on their faces, & extract "whatever" they want with regards to industrial technology, & trade with the free nations because everybody wants to be China's friend.
China is still loaded with hardline communists who still adopt the communist doctrine of war with capitalism is "inevitable", ..think NOT that because a certain degree of prosperity will ever change that ideology, ..because it will not as long as there continues to be political oppression in China.
China does not, & will not EVER allow the concept of individual freedom, & personal liberty to hijack its population, ..& America & the rest of the free world had damn well better understand that fact especially while in their own lust they continue to give China access to whatever in the hell she wants, or needs.
It is NOT a question of IF there is ever war between the free world, & China....it is just "when" will it happen?

Trajan Octavian Titus said:You're forgetting one incredibly important thing; this is the exact reason why we are building the missle defense shield (you know the one that the Dems said was useless) even if they get on par with the U.S. in nuclear paroty, we'll be ready for it.
SKILMATIC said:Again we wouldnt need a missle defense against China we would need it from Russia. The only reason why is becasue they have nuclear subs which are sometimes undetectable. That makes Russia able to launch a nuke from a undetected place. However, China only has missle launch locations on their homeland which are easily detectable(infact we already know where they all are). So we can decisively and preemptively strike these locations without a problem. The only launches we would worry about would be from the sea from Russias subs.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Ya but how would we stop the land based ICBMs if they committed a first strike? I think that the missile defense shield is needed especially since N. Korea is arming themselves and thanks to Clinton probably have the missile technology to make ICBMs.
SKILMATIC said:Are you fvcking kidding me? 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.
Kelzie said:Russia too. As a war science student, you should know that they have second strike capability with their nukes.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:That's where the missile defense shield comes into play it would ensure U.S. military hegomy well into the millenium. But who wants war with China the free market and capitalism defeated the Soviets in Russia without even firing a shot the same policy will be proven in China just give it time.
