War with China

Plus if America is running low on men, theres always conscription etc etc

but that goes for china too.

How? Two of the world's biggest economic powers destroying themselves. The worldwide economic system would crumble. Nuclear radiation would be a huge problem. Some of the nukes we have make Hiroshima look like a bonfire. The world would lose.

Running low on men? When? We have a few thousand in the Middle East. We have thousands more in reserve. We're not anywhere near "low". If it were, we would need a draft. Which we don't have.

the one world goverment will be a reality
all it takes is for war with the chinese ...and it will happen my friends ✅

All logic proves you wrong. Conspiracies don't cut it.

Why are we even arguing about this? China won't go to war with the US. It would be suicide for both parties and the rest of the world.

Nukes today are million times powerful then Hiroshima and Nagasaki ones. America could destroy the world for ten times.

it woudnt be fought with nukes

And China has some very powerful nukes as well. It'd be complete insane for US and China to fight. We'd all die. The rest of the world would suffer from the disintegration of our atmosphere, and massive radiation fallout.

All wars of the future are going to be fought with nukes. Why the heck do we have them? That's why we call them nuclear WARheads.

it woudnt be fought with nukes...do u think they are that stupid?
nukes are there to scare other countries...no one would be foolish enough to use them.....unless they are insane...the only use for nukes would be to blast a comet out of the sky

Of course nukes would be used in wars. We used one on Japan.

Think about if from a military perspective, as a general, would you rather send millions of men into battle to combat millions of other men on a battlefield to win a battle with full knowledge that millions of your men would die and your numbers would be dwindled...

Or would you go the wise way, and use a nuke to wipe out millions of your foe's men with a nuke with no loss of your own personnel..

The answer's obvious.

usa used one on japan knwoing full well japan would be defeneless
that woudnt work with china...u fire a nuke at them ..they will fire one back what would be the point in that? the war would be fought in other ways

US used an atomic bomb on Japan to win WWII. US was completely exhausted after Germany and the rest. They simply didn't have the manpower to defeat Japan. Britain and the other allies were stretched too. Japan was developing their own atomic bombs and they were planning numerous assaults that the Allies could not handle. The bomb was the only option. Without it we would have lost.

Nukes would most certainly work. Especially if you hit heavily populated areas like Beijng and New York. If millions of people die after a bombing that would be a terrible blow towards morale. It only took two for Japan to fold. War is fought by the people. If the people lose their will to fight then the war is over. It's that simple.

didn't america sign a treaty to never use nukes again or the a bomb or something like that?...and isn't Hydrogen bomb more powerful than a nuke? just wandering?

Treaties are meant to be broken. God knows everyone else does.

it wont work today
it would be suicide for both countrys..and they know that

That's what I've been saying. War between China and US is suicide. Nukes or no nukes. It would be disastrous. The worst event in human history. (If we even have a future). This wouldn't be just America and China. EVERYONE would be involved. Doomsday. Nuff said.

Maybe if it did happen it would be one of those "out of the ashes hope rises...". Very few events in retrospect are really "end of the world". End of a way of living perhaps, or thinking, but humanity manages to kick on no matter what. Black death, Fall of Rome, WWI and WWII everything looks like the end. But its not, and usually it opens the way for new, better things (in the long run anyway). I doubt it will come to Nukes, as MAD is as strong today as it was in the Cold war (as Dr. Strangelove says deterrence is making the enemy fear to attack).

However, by way of global markets it would effect everybody and cause great upheaval, but not ultimate doom. At worst I think it would simply be the beginning of something new, not the end of everything old.
