What form could this advantage take?

We currently deploy a force of nuclear subs which carry optimumly something in the area of 2500-3000 nuclear warheads. These missile subs are constantly on patrol with their locations unknown to even our own military except in the most general terms.

How would China overcome this threat which completely annihilate their country in order to use what you claim their alleged advantage?

How would China overcome this threat [finding our subs]

A) By having figured out how to find them.
B) having a space-based ABM capability.
C) Having the Norks do it. Iran is even a more likely proxy.

Let us also not forget they don't share the same value on life as do we.

After a first strike against US,
how many of our
‘force of nuclear subs” would launch their “2500-3000 nuclear warheads”?

By having spies all over this country to understand our capabilities and limitation and by having 50 years to develop their defenses without us doing jack.

But what the hell, we still spend 5 times as much on our military, so we’re safe!
