Trouble is everybody is focused on Russia, Russia, Russia.

In the event of nuclear war with China:
1. Stay Clear of all Windows.
2. Keep Hands Free of Glass, Bottles, Cigarettes, Etc.
3. Stand Away From Desks, Tables, Windows, and Furniture.
4. Loosen Necktie, Unbutton Coat And Any Other Restrictive Clothing.
5. Remove Glasses and Empty Pockets of all Sharp Objects such as Pens, Pencils, Etc.
6. Immediately Upon Seeing Brilliant Flash of Nuclear Explosion, Bend Over and Place Your Head Firmly Between
Your Legs.
7. Then Kiss Your Ass Goodbye.
They’ve got lots of people, and no reverence for life.
Trouble is everybody is focused on Russia, Russia, Russia.
This is a silly question. Other than the eight gap years, where we didn't have a real President, the United States has been preparing for a nuclear war with China and/or Russia for many decades. That is as it should be. "If you want peace, prepare for war."
Is a shooting war between the USA and either Russia or China likely? Nope. Not as long as we are even reasonably prepared.
W Bush had many failures as a president, but in 2007, most analyses claimed the US had the capability to destroy Russia and China, with limited damage to us, if one of them struck first.
Is that advantage now lost, 10 years later?
