As for the JL-2 stuff: Apparently, the Jamestown Foundation has discovered the joys of threat inflation. Unfortunately, they have yet to discover the joys of logic and common sense, as their arguments tend to mutually contradict each other.
They say "we can't estimate the range from open sources," then say "there's evidence that it's more than 8,000 km," then hyperventilate, "but the ChiComs might park one only a few HUNDRED kilometers from the US."
OK, if this thing is really an 8,000+ km range missile...a 300-km shot is going to be an extremely depressed-trajectory shot.
And THAT will require flight-testing in a depressed-trajectory regime...which hasn't happened. Hell, there apparently hasn't been enough flight testing conducted to give anyone a reasonable estimate of the thing's range!
Finally...OK, suppose the ChiComs "shower" (gotta love the purple prose) the West Coast with nuclear warheads.
So what happens next? How do the ensuing events proceed in China's favor, expecially after the boys and girls in the silos and subs turn their keys? Can any of the Sinophobes on this board kindly give us a credible theory of victory for China in this scenario?
