“It would not be acceptable if China nuked us in a preemptive strike for two reasons:”

You forgot reason #4: If they nuked us, who the hell would by their stuff? Who would pay off (like we ever could) their US bonds?

You don't go around beating up your best customer, plus they would wreck the collateral that is backing the bonds ... the USA itself.

“I have studied the use of nuclear weapons for many years.”

No, you haven’t. Take a good look at a 50 Megaton device.

Apparently, nukes are ok by you, when they fall somewhere other than your own back yard. You are the classic......fool.

I think you have the labels mixed up - F-15’s have double tails while F-16 are single tail birds.

How are you going to destroy a reactor that is underground. A 10 kiloton nuke.

I have footage of every nuclear test America and Russia conducted from the 1950-1963. You may want to see the door art for 8 ton door that protects our underground sentinels.

As a military aviation fan myself, I know what an F-15 Eagle and an F-16 Viper look like.

Oh, you mean the oil, natural gas, and coal that Kurinton and 0bama have been putting off-limits--that'll still be at least somewhat accessible, irrespective of what happened above-ground in such areas.
