hey that’s great. Let’s aim one at the three gorges dam.

Knocking out the Three Gorges dam would probably kill tens of millions of civilians. Perhaps over a year, hundreds of millions, especially considering the agriculture it enables.

I think if we have a shooting war with China, there are better ways of knocking out their industrial base than one with such a high civilian death toll.

Last estimate I saw, 9 cities and 420 million people would be wiped out.

Commercial harbors, train stations, highways, factories, dams, oil refineries, electrical distribution systems, military bases. Aqueducts, airfields, missile sites, navy harbors...that will slow them down enough to let other countries invade and take over. Russia and India come to mind. Not to mention Southeast Asia.
