    if these people are the ones drafting official plans, maybe there's hope the US would completely fail to persecute a nuclear war. fucks sake 4 years ago you didn't think the DPRK and China's nuclear programmes would be coordinated? that if nukes were flying toward Russia through Chinese territory the yanks could just pinky-promise to China they're for Russia and they'd keep theirs away?

    so goddamned foolish. i think you could sell half the pentagon and their 'think tanks' the brooklyn bridge. simultaneously.

      Given China's extreme confidence in "peaceful" "collaboration" shit there is a non-zero chance they'd believe this. They would give exactly the same reason people give here today "oh why should we involve our 1.4 billion people in a nuclear war in Europe?"

      In any case whether we agree on this or not, first and foremost you're aware that US nukes would fly over the north pole not Asia?

      You're right about everything else, these people suck and they're idiots.

        the US nukes sub in the pacific, if they got involved, would be launched in the pacific. "Territory" was an awkward word to use because it's well beyond any country's actual borders where they'd be concerned and threatened by missiles with trajectories that look like they could hit them. say a missile headed toward Vladivostok will look like it could hit a lot of shit in northern China, whichever direction it comes from
