Victory after a one-sided nukefest with China would be one way to win the so-called trade war.
Not worried but if I lived in a city I would be...The Chinese have been working on some neat gadgets called EMP weapons...Roll time back to he Stone age for many..
...not that it would come to trading nukes, really. Our military forces would shut down China’s military forces with conventional warfare pretty quick.

Depends on whether we still have the nerve or not to pull the trigger..I am not sure we do..
I sure liked Fred Thompson. If he hadn’t gotten sick I always figured he would have run for POTUS. He would have won and we wouldn’t have had to suffer through 8 nauseating years of that nauseating Great Disappointment.
Between my 3rd and 4th year at USNA I did a language study trip to Taiwan in coordination with their Naval Academy. There for a few weeks with 5 Mids.
“Happened” to drive by an amphibious assault drill as we were returning to Taipei. They had a lot of older WWII equipment mixed in with more modern stuff.
It was interesting how we handled relations with them. Basically our guys (ambassador, Naval attaché equivalents) resigned and signed on with an organization that acted as a embassy/consulate. Then when their tour was over they resumed their prior role but were given extra years of service for that time frame..or something like that.
Well... modern for the late 80s. Haven’t had the opportunity to get back that direction since. Sun Moon Lake is spectacular.
Yep he might have made a good one...Just think if a Democrat wins the Presidency and the Chinese and Russians decide to settle things once and for all I could see a Democrat President surrendering..Especially if Cities were threatened.
And Red China was saying the same thing decades ago, before the moronic US foreign and trade policy decisions served to enrich and empower China in a way it could never have accomplished without US aid.
Those will prove to be the dumbest, most destructive policies in US history. And all our elites in government and Wall Street told us China would become freedom loving capitalists and democrats if we’d just be nice and allow them into the WTO and the family of nations.
Why does everybody assume endless escalation?
Is the world to be ruled by threat?
The U.S. Navy and Trump tariffs have the Chicoms barking up a storm.

You can thank Bill Clinton and Loral for the Chinese getting chesty. He and all of his comrade should be hanged.
Taiwan, keep them free.
If no anomalous response was observed, the testing was continued up to the field intensity limits of the simulation capability (approximately 50 kV/m). Automobiles were subjected to EMP environments under both engine turned off and engine turned on conditions. No effects were subsequently observed in those automobiles that were not turned on during EMP exposure. The most serious effect observed on running automobiles was that the motors in three cars stopped at field strengths of approxi-mately 30 kV/m or above. In an actual EMP exposure, these vehicles would glide to a stop and require the driver to restart them.
Um, I think they already did that in 1949.
Hmm...still has its Mk13 launcher. They were removed from U.S. OHP’s in the final years, making them glorified 76mm gunboats.
Many improvements have also been designed and installed in infrastructure (e.g., power grid) since attention was brought to the matter. Our main loss would be quite a few lefties under air bursts, if anything gets through defenses.
The time to pick a fight is when you are strong.
I know we are stronger than we have been, but are we THAT much stronger than China? I am thinking their hackers might be as good as our hackers.
This will start with Navies. It will end dark and cold.
