[QUOTE]Originally posted by DT: [QB] Forgive me, I've yet been back to this thread. Frankly, their army and air force don't matter. I'll still post my analysis when I find my numbers, but it's academic. We are discussing the United States of America. The only non-naval threat it faces is from Mexico (Canada too, but Mexico is a legitimate threat to attack the US when their government collapses). If you can figure out how China would attack the US, please tell me. If you can figure out how the PLA would attack the US, please tell me how. (I'll tell you, the Korean border) First makes some good points in regards to allies. I'd like to tackle those at another time. I'll however tackle the nuclear issue now. Who cares? I don't. Why should you? If they fire on the US, the US fires on them. It's just that easy. We're all too dead afterwards to care. So what does it matter what China has? They'll never reach the levels of the US and Russia (and if they did, so what?). As my conservative pal pointed out, there is no way to shoot down ICBMs. So why worry? What we should be doing is working to disarm the US and these other countries. You don't do this by spending MORE! You do this on fostering cooperation. By spitting in the face of these old treaties with the Soviets, the US is ensuring the world becomes more dangerous. Now, as for those conservative friends of mine... Taiwan... well, as long as the US supports them, China won't nuke them. China nukes them, US nukes China, good night everyone. This ain't Commander and Conquer or whatever computer game it is you people play. No one is going to use nukes. Ever. Cause if you use them, everyone does. Thus, it's over. The Taiwanese can sleep safely. [/QB][/QUOTE]
