About the Chinese, for one they don’t need to get anywhere near the continental US to launch a missile attack. They have nuclear-powered subs which have tested and are probably equipped with missiles with a range in excess of 5,000+ miles.
That’s true.
Unless they wanted us to see it.
But not to worry!!!
They have got half the blogosphere to call it an airliner which does it everyday, and woe to anyone who stands in their way!
Cackle.
Watch out, Korah, you might want to put yer flame retardant suit on ...
The Chinese JL-2 missile has been tested quiet a few times over the past decade. The US knows about it’s existence very well. There’s really no point bringing a long-range missile up close to the enemy’s territory. One the risk of detection far outweighs any symbolic benefits. Two, the US/Russia and China have always preferred open oceanic spaces to conduct tests for optimum results. Besides what would have happened if the damn thing malfunctioned and headed straight for a US city??
The Chicoms may be crazy at times, but they ain’t suicidal.
