    Strike first or wait to see how they handle Taiwan?

    These war games and provocations seem to be coming to a head.

    To word it better - if they attack Taiwan do you attack with nukes before they get a chance?

    Nobody is going to use Nukes. It's suicide. Nobody can destroy the others fast enough to prevent a country ending counterstrike and nuclear winter.

    It's economic suicide for China to start a world war which is what this would do...there are a lot of nukes pointed at China right now and they'd lose all foreign investment closing factories and they'd piss off a million foreign businesses operating in Taiwan right now....China looks big but it's desert....Taiwan has a shit ton of missiles that'd hit China immediately as does India...this will not happen for mostly economic reasons...China knows this...they are just sabre rattling which they've always done. China needs trading partners...not enemies

    Florida already qualifies as post-apocalyptic society. At least the rest of us can hope for no nuclear war.

    Isn't Florida the "snorting" capitol of the world?

    lot of national parks in the line of fire and the pentagon isn't even a target nor our oil regions or industrial areas....makes no sense to blow up Wyoming and leave the east coast untouched

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Probably not "no plans," but it's easier for them to reach the West Coast across the Pacific, I imagine.

    Though with Russia unveiling missiles that can circle the globe multiple times in space, it probably doesn't matter much. China may not have such missiles right now, but likely soon.

    Hmm, that must've been what I was thinking of. I thought it was Russia.

    I have a pet peeve. While working at Boeing on the most powerful nuclear missile in the world a lot of the people around me could not spell M I S S I L E. This drove me nuts.

    I can but editing spelling on a msg board is sort of a waste of time...when Denny puts me on salary I'll proof read every word and use things like punctuation ....this place is scratch paper...there are more important pet peeves Lanny than typos
