I can see getting behind, but losing? We have twenty times as many nukes as they do, and ours are way better. Of course, the danger in a nuclear attack on China is that we will wipe out half the business leaders in America, and there won’t be anything else making it to Walmart.

China has been greatly increasing its military and rapidly Increasing Nuclear, Naval, and Next-Gen Tech, and is surging its space capabilities and plans to double its stockpile of nuclear warheads in the next decade, and operates the world's largest Navy (but not of the same overall caliper), surpassing US in Ships, Missiles and Air Defense and its military numbers 3,205,000 soldiers.

And they are the only country with the manufacturing capability to engage in a prolonged major war. And the U.S. Defense Supply Chain is too much reliant on China. Ninety percent of the world's printed circuit boards are manufactured in Asia, and more than half in China, and some may be have been infected with computer viruses.

Never underestimate your opponent or overestimate yourself.

Nobody is ever going to nuke anyone again.

One nuclear bomb would have ended the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Afghanistan and Iraq wars. But none were used. Why? No one has the guts or the stupidity to do that.

Because there is no scenario where a nuclear power pulls the trigger first.
