    Maybe China should ask for help from Yemen, they seem to know how the defeat the US.

        It's literally all they know how to do is bluster and beat their chest. They are a bully and Nukes are their "crying to mom and dad" when someone calls their bullshit and pushes back. I have said before, the world will never be safe from the US until the rest of the world has so many nukes and other defense capabilities set up to make the US nukes completely ineffective.

            The thing is, what happens to all those nukes when it implodes? They won't just go away. So long as they exist and some member of the oligarchy is in power, the world is at threat from them. It doesn't matter how decrepit the military is. Is doesn't matter if we run out of conventional bombs, planes, etc. so long as those nukes exist and there's not a definitive way to stop them, then the world just isn't safe from the US..... And I think they know it too. The US that is. They want a nuclear war so bad. Everything they do makes it seem more and more like they want it sooo bad, they just want the excuse to do it before the world, China, actually does develop a defense capable to stopping it.

              I've wondered about that as well. In fact, it's entirely possible that US could nuke itself if there is a civil conflict. However, I think the big danger US poses currently is that it's a single state in control of a massive nuclear arsenal. Should US break up, then this arsenal would be partitioned along with the rest of the military assets. I think that's a much better scenario because it would be highly unlikely that all the states would agree on coordinated action.

              All that said, I completely agree that China having air defence that can take out the nuke before they hit would be a great thing. It is a very difficult problem however as we currently see in Ukraine. Russia has top notch air defence, yet things get through now and then. If we're talking about nukes then even missing one could mean millions of deaths.
