Completely wrong on the Chinese nukes. You are living in the past. As for subs you're right but we are not talking about subs, we are talking about ballistic missiles. All those nukes of destruction from the 80s you are talking about? The new Chinese D-41 completely blows them out of the water. They currently have the most powerful and effective nukes in the world. This isn't my opinion, this is from indepedendent military think tanks that analyze this stuff.

Here's Business Insider's ranking of nuclear arsenals:

China at #1 and that was before they developed all their latest nuclear weapons such as the D-41.

Your entire argument that you are trying to make is irrelevant. In a war against China, both countries get wiped out. That's all there is to it. Having all those extra planes, bases, etc is irrelevant in a war with a nuclear power.

My point isn't that China couldn't kill vast numbers of Americans blowing up basically every major city its that this isn't a new worry. It as an old worry when most kids fretting in this topic's parents were children. The Soviets had the ability to blow up 5,000 cities in America the Chinese have the ability to blow up 100. Obviously both are horrible but the idea that the Chinese have the most powerful nuclear arsenal ever is completely fucking ridiculous.

We are talking about a country with a nuclear arsenal comparable to France. They have enough nukes to make any country in the world shy away from giving them shit but the US and USSR built insane nuclear arsenals during the Cold War. If you want to imagine what I'm talking about imagine what China has done building their nukes and literally multiply it times a hundred and both countries literally did that. Tens of thousands of nukes.

We built assembly lines and just popped out nuke after nuke after nuke until we could kill the world over and over again.

The Chinese haven't done that because it was a really dumb thing to do because what was the fucking point. You kill every city in a country and you start popping off nukes in towns a few hundred people because fuck em thats why. What is the point? Is killing 90% of the population not enough?
