[Phantom Lord]

If an actual full blown war to be declared by both sides, the US could defeat China without sending a single troop. We can destroy them at the push of a button in a matter of minutes. They do not have the ability to do that to us.

Yet...

You cannot be sure of that.

It is possible to build thousands of ICBM's and secret them in a vast country.

It is possible to build thousands of MIRV's and store them.

It is possible the Chinese know something about deception warfare.

They are a nuclear power with a controlled press, a powerless legislature, and a secretive military.

It is not only possible, but PROBABLE that they can destory us in a nuclear exchange.

Our missles are old.

Our warheads are untested.

Our warriors and leaders are complacent.

We could very well be surprised by what they not only can do to us, but what they WANT to do to us.
