also, this is an incredible statement, they're basically moaning that China would be able to respond effectively to a nuclear first strike by the burger empire

Asian defence officials said a joint early warning system would also allow China to launch nuclear weapons upon receiving warning of an impending nuclear strike. That would mark a shift from its strategy of using nuclear weapons only in retaliation against a strike that has already occurred — a change that nuclear experts believe Beijing has long contemplated.

If that new age is ushered in, frankly China and Russia ought to make sure Washington DC and every major military base in the continental US is a irradiated no-man's land, even if all the nukes are shot down. Such a rogue state can't be allowed to exist with the nuclear capabilities it presently does- it's already bad enough as-is, but when and if they try a nuclear first strike, IMO no country is safe (not just China and Russia)- and assuming there's anything left of the ashes, the US will probably even need to be under a international occupation and partition in a manner akin to Nazi Germany's postwar treatment on steroids to properly de-Americanize (in a similar fashion to de-Nazification- rooting out all adherents of neoconservatism, Manifest Destiny and the Monroe doctrine, all alphabet agencies and those who make up the "blob," etc) the region.

They really wouldn't have to set anything up after destroying our government and some key military bases. It would take decades to create any sort of industry to even begin remaking the military. Not to mention, the US power grid is so bad the feds did a study on it. They concluded that all it would take is 13 key substations being destroyed and the entire power grid of the US is down for at least 18 months. In that 18 months they estimated 80% of the population would die. There would t be anyone left to even attempt to retaliate.
