Top general warns China could soon spring surprise nuclear strike on US

“They launched a long-range missile,” Hyten said. “It went around the world, dropped off a hypersonic glide vehicle that glided all the way back to China, that impacted a target in China.”

Chinese population turns on the CCP. CCP slaughters all the protestors like Deng did. CCP goes on to nuke the USA to even the score and maintain face ; every dead Chinese = one dead American ; every destroyed Chinese city = 1 destroyed US city. 400 million dead Chinese = 400 million dead Americans ... wait ...

If country leadership blunders are the lesson to be learned, why wait until WWI when you already had—
— 1812, France v. Russia

Or even better, 1776: KGIII vs. USA to be. The beginning of the end of the British empire and the beginning of the great American nation
