right.. because I'm sure china knows were all of our subs are that can launch nuclear missiles from around the globe are..



About as well as you guys know of Chinese 100-200 nukes that can all reach USA...MAD is a bitch.

Which is why this argument is silly. China wouldn't launch an attack on our aircraft carriers without expecting war from pretty much all of our allies.



Japan, South Korea, Singapore and India would definitely do nothing. Australia and Thailand are also unlikely. You're pretty much left with Britain and a few other major EU powers who would pretty much be useless, especially if Iran or Russia were to seize the opportunity to pursue their interests, without even mentioning the volatile situation across the Arab world.

No. China would win because the west is too soft hearted. In a war without remorse the US would destroy China to whatever degree of severity that we allowed ourselves.



40 years ago, maybe



Dizammm that took a little over 3 hours...



Yeah, I have a life

China would have to invade Mexico, which would be unwilling to allow them a forward base, so they'd be drawn into the war if China went that route and Canada has no chance of lending them aid.


Ok, I will give you the out of thinking hypothetically of some distant time when China has these mythical capabilities, because as of now, currently, there is no friggin way they can project that kind of power. They simply do not have the means to do any large scale amphibious D-day type assault.
They might arguably be capable of traveling to Taiwan and emerging victorious on a beach landing. Maybe.

Mexico? Canada?

Taiwan would be China's Grenada...

Singapore and Taiwan would probably join China in a war against a third aggressor nation, especially if relations continue to warm. It's a foregone conclusion that China isn't going to start any wars with anyone soon, it's simply not in their interest.

China will be busy exploiting african countries for at least decade or two more.

If by "exploit" you mean "stabilizing and enriching" then you're right.

The nations that see the most Chinese involvement (save Zambia and their Western backed propaganda wings) also have the most pro-Chinese publics.

edit: wrong country

You think Taiwan would join China if China and the US went toe to toe? Really, that's what you think?

Is that why I get free BJ's in Taiwan when I say I am an American?

Reese that is simply part of Twatter's programming, that Taiwan is merely a confused Chinese state, a bit wayward due to American influence. So delusional

I wasn't particularly clear on that point. I was getting at the US and China are both pretty safe from land invasion. We only have Mexico and Canada boardering us and Canada surely isn't going to aid the Chinese. I doubt Mexico would either, but they have helped our enemies in the past.

As for "sides" I wasn't speaking of military aid for a lot of those countries I listed. Australia might help with some troops, but the key is they would stop trading, at least mostly, with China. That goes for most of the developed world.
