MAD

Exactly why we haven't wared with Russia, China etc...

Btw check out the aviation thread

I made a new b 52 variant

yep. It would basically be a war of flexing power tbh. they wouldnt be crazy enough to invade us, and vice versa

Yeah

its only the cities that need to be dealt with along their coast

But russia brings up a good point. Even if we take the cities, we still have a massive insurgency to deal with. Plus we have a distinct disadvantage there, as we have no supply lines. And if we did, they would be to coastal cities, so most in-country cities are off the table

we simply wouldnt be able to reinforce them

Germany tried

They failed

France tried

They failed

and they had the benefit of surprise.

we most certainly wouldnt lol

Big power arrogance gets to us all

But china will defend those coastal cities like fanatics

esp with today's technology, theyd see us coming a week away

difference is with China is they got to their pedestal in 60 years with alot of our help

other nations organically grew over hundreds of years

With alliances etc

yea. i think someone mentioned it earlier. Economics is the way to ruin china. Cut them off completely from trade.

I guess so

But they r big

Exactly, the CCP pride themselves on 6% GDP growth

yea, but big countries need alot of resources.

though we know that is bullshit now

They might rely on themselves

Even tho economy will be like not stonks

im looking now, but i think china has a distinct lack of alloy production dont they?

Feeding 1.5 billion people

when world cuts your trade off will be nigh impossible

they lack the raw ore to produce steel dont they?

Yea, buy alot of Australia's

and everyone elses

thats what i thought. i forgot where i saw that though lol

And thier own steel even when its made using our ore

is still garbage

Those frigates etc they got won't be much better than a tin can

yea, they lack the ability to refine it enough

You could probably bust open a Chinese frigate with a ww2 naval mine
