Nuclear waste is what China may end up as if they don’t wake up to reality. Right now, a few of the world’s largest navies are confronting the CCP over their attempt to claim all of the South China Sea as their own territory. Since this part of the ocean is vital to the world’s trade routes, and allowing the Chinese to block that shipping traffic would literally give them control of the global economy and therefor de facto control of the world, this is not going to be allowed to happen without a war.
China can muster an army/navy the size of our entire national population. The only other country that can do this is India, which lacks “only” 100,000 less people than China, but also lacks the massive resources of China to wage war.
The point being that in a conventional, or non-nuclear war, China can continue to pour soldiers into battle virtually non-stop and wipe out everyone else’s armies through sheer attrition. When the rest of us run out of people to send in to die, the Chinese will still have plenty more.
Which is why the only realistic answer to war with China is to nuke them before they can nuke us, which is undoubtedly why they’re building what appears to be a massive array of 600 nuclear silos as a deterrent to us and others to do that. The real question is, are these the equivalent of England’s cardboard and canvas tanks and airplanes, built to fool the Germans, or are these real, ready to go ICBM’s?
If they’re real, then what will be done, if anything, to deter China from taking over the South China Sea permanently, invading and “assimilating” Taiwan, and ultimately dominating the world?
I told you so. I did. Back when Richard Outhouse Nixon welcomed China in as a global trade partner, I told you. I said this would happen. Now look.
