The difficulty in saying “if it weren’t for nuclear weapons i think china would kick our ***” there are too many variables to make this statement with any accuracy. Even if it were not a limited tactical nuclear war, one of the two combatants would need to attach the other. If China thought about attacking the US, getting here is a bit of a bitch; especially without us discovering an extremely large flotilla coming are way. Any ship/boat is extremely vulnerable on the high seas. Same thing applies to us, if we were to send troops. The advantage the US has is to reach out and touch someone with conventional weapons….so to say without nukes we would loose……..is a bit of a stretch. If both were on one common continent yes they have a bunch more than us…….however we have a technological advantages with weapons and tactics.

IMO

Other than Muslim extremists who don't want our presence in their countries or the aggression from our support of Israel, I don't see anyone, including China, who would want to attack us. We're far too important a trading market. As we continue our slide from industrial to service economy, we become even more attractive as basically a consumer nation. How long our financial balancing act can last is the determining factor of our value as a market. As we continue, literally, to transfer our wealth to other nations, few want to disturb that process and China is currently a big beneficary.

Our population is still armed . . . even if China could invade they would bog down.

Kalifornia=whaky and China

Whoa!! California is a whacked out liberal state. Thats where anti-american sentiment breeds, this is where all communistic loving citizens breed. California is whacked out, they hate God there ask the 9th circus of appeals. They hate Christians, they prefer Alah instead and its values ask-John Walker Lynn he was a Berkley of California student, shall I go on?

USA has a commitment to Tiwan to defend them in case China invades. regardless what best intrest, China is a communist country and have disregard for human loss. Yes, China and America will duke it out and yes, the world would lose but America would have to defend itself against Communism.

Hey we can thank that traitor-Bill Clinton for giving Nuke secrets to China, if I understood correctly, China was not even to par with us in this department, now they are. Thats why I say, prepare the time will come soon and in our lifetimes.

You have made a number of statements here, would you care to take two or three and explain where you gained this incredible insight in to the California population.

Please take any three you like the best or feel the strongest about.......to explain in detail.
Californians are anxiously awaiting your reply..

Anti-American sentiment breeds,
All communistic loving citizens breed.
