china isn't capable of attacking the us in the forseeable future. its simply impossible. the only place china could fight us is on the asian mainland, or maybe in japan.

Honey, they can do it from Panama. They have been acquiring property down there just for this purpose.

IMHO, China will NOT attack us UNLESS the Taiwanese declare independence, and we fight on the side of the TW

A couple of megatons hidden in the hold of a COSCO ship berthed at the new LA facility would take out a big chunk of Southern California. Do you seriously believe that they would NOT do so?

All depends on what is in those millions of shipping containers besides consumer electronics. Those ships too could be used to transport other "containers". Just as the Brits used container ships to transport all sorts of stuff to the Falklands, including operating radar sets, Harrier jets and other war like stores. They even used one ship as a make do aircraft carrier. (For the Harriers).

Of course container ships are also big and slow targets for all sorts of things that go boom!
