WHICH REPLY?

The longer one was more about China issues directly. The short last one was--if we did as the replier suggested and bombed east of the Yellow River primarily--how many nukes would that take. How many would we have left for the folk I listed last? We may not have the option of one war at a time.

Sorry, I was referring to the first, longer one.
Re: the number of nukes on your second comment. Rest easy, there less than 100 targets of any meaning in the M.E.
Even with our 80% reduction in warheads (which can be reversed), that still leaves nearly all forces intact.
Plenty to have a healthy response to PRC. Russia if need be, but I don't think we'll have trouble there.
The others are frankly irrelevant. See FAS
