Yes.
What, you think we don't watch China by satellite 24/7? Do you have any idea what it would take to stage such an attack? Long before they were ready to go, our subs would be parked in every major water way, ready to sink any ship that moved. Then the President calls China and asks if they really want to dance.
Come on.
"Then the President calls China and asks if they really want to dance."
You're assuming we will still have a courageous and assertive president when this happens.
If Hillary asks the president of China to dance, it will be literal, and she will be whispering the location of US military assets in his ear while they waltz across the dance floor.
If the ChiComs are smart, they will wait for a weak wimp of a president before making a move.
