We’d definitely get our hair mussed.

The Three Gorges Dam is the largest target in history. Blow that up and half of China’s population dies. This isn’t the Hoover Dam in the middle of nowhere. The 3GD is upstream from major cities and vital farmand. China would cease to be a country.

Nobody wants to come in second. We know that, going in. That you ask if we’d lose means that a Chinese.first strike would constitute an existential threat. A nuclear defensive response would be on the tanle. Would sooner be better than later?

Hitler didn’t stop with the Jews. He was on a roll so he added dissidents, mental patients, prison inmates and 400k Gypsies.

Would we win? I don’t think anybody will win. The living will envy the dead. Should it happen we, like Hitler should take out a few ayatollahs as well as Mecca/Medina. Did I leave out anyone?

Looks like the good ol’ MIC-mouthpiece “National Security Journal” is now showing with the MIC wants more than anything - the existential scare of a hot war with China.

SOOOOooooo much money to be made for decades with this one.

A small salvo of nuclear missiles aimed at China’s infrastructure and a few major cities should be the first response of an attack on US forces and should China attack the US homeland with its nuclear missiles a massive US nuclear response aimed to devastate China.

Yes. 100-200 THOUSAND agents are in this country right now, and tough talking turkey neck tom homan and his boss, Mr. Stable Genius, who never met SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND Chinese student spies he never liked, are doing NOTHING to stop them from setting up the farmland they bought next to military bases to stage lightning strike devastating, fatal blows to our airfields, barracks, and other installations. And they know where EVERY substation and water supply is, so all at once they can put enough fentanyl to kill every man woman child dog cat horse in the country. This will be on them as well. But at that point, it will not matter.

And the remainder of that war (if it weren’t over and done with in the first 48 hours) wouldn’t be any bed of roses, either.

The Golden Dome, if completed before the first missile salvo, would reduce the damage and aid in quicker counterstriking as launch sites would be known.
It could, possibly, negate the whole prospect of a massive missile volley doing mass damage completely.
Also, enhanced early warning systems would enable aircraft more scramble time to launch, even with hypersonic speeds involved (approximately 100 miles in two minutes), which could become critical on day two as the author presupposes.
Some might even be able to help destroy missiles en route.

JMO, YMMV

Not if we immediately up our game. But 12 years of antiAmerican pseudo potus grifters have hurt us immeasurably.

Stop with the foreign aid. Stop with pumping billions into the coffers of wetback grifters. Stop with the waste and start building America's military.

I’ve read that China may be reluctant beyond sabre rattling to fight a war, because of the one child policy would leave millions of parents without support because they have only one child.

China may be more of a paper tiger than we think possible.

“”Would America lose?””

***

Everyone on planet Earth would lose, because America would lauch nukes if we were losing. At that point, the death sentence for earth would be assured.

But not to worry. I don’t think that’s going to happen and even if it did, we Christians would be ‘gone’ from earth by that time. Nuclear destruction of the planet is not in the Bible, so God won’t let it happen to His flock.

Planetary destruction would not happen until, possibly, the second half of the Tribulation... right before Jesus re-appears. At which point, there will be a new earth (there will have to be, the old earth will have been destroyed and corrupted beyond repair). At least... that is what I believe.

The test is brutally simple: can the US military absorb the first punch, fight through the second, and make sure there’s still a joint force on day three that can find, fix, and finish at scale?

Excellent piece. Should be on everyone's desk at the Department of War tomorrow. And while we're at it - let's assume the population of America needs to survive the first three days too. And that means we need a Department of Defense of the Homeland. Shelters, water supplies, hardened chips and back up electrical sources. Let's make the assumption if China attacks they'll also go for killing US citizens who could assist with fighting back - or at least feeding our forces.
Is there even one factory in the United States building back-up large electrical transformers - a few weeks without electricity (and safe water) and hundreds of millions of citizens will die. -

They would definitely have some very nasty surprises for us.

It’s not the missiles and drones or even the cyberattacks that worry me *when* we fight them, it’s what we don’t know about and thus can’t prepare for.

Does anybody think they don’t have a virus that only kills caucasians (or all non ethnic Chinese)? I’d have started that research project the first day I was Chairman.

They have nearly 1000 satellites in orbit, most of them recent; it is hardly a secret that we rely heavily on ours, not the orbits those satellites are in.

They are playing a long game, they plan in decades, even centuries, we jump all over the place strategically in election cycles.

We don’t come to Israel’s aid at the end, so something’s going to happen to us.
