Sigh....

1: Scars, how? It would fuck up civilization and gut out almost every city, turning them into plague hole, but what scars to the planet exactly?

2: Pretty much every single war they fought before the Great War. Unilateralism and refusal to be bound up in alliances was central to American foreign policy before the 20th Century (The US looked on them as a web European powers used to drag each other into wars they didn't want to be in).

3: China and the US go to war, they're both fucked economically. One buys too much from the other while the others trade lanes will be shutdown asap.



All modern wars are quick due to the fact that modern warfare is geared towards the massive outpouring of munitions.

Every modern war conventional war has either ended quick and decisively or both sides wound up expending all their munitions and could only continue when their backers rushed to resupply them (The Abrab-Israeli wars).


Both in the infancy of their development. The mainstay of China will remain rip off Russian designs for quite some time.

The only problem is America is shooting themselves by slack on aircraft development and will rely on aircraft whose design history began in the 60s and were developed a decade after that.



America is over committed and under funded while the Chinese are still decades from training their military to be of Western quality.



A single warhead wouldn't even destroy a single city.



How to deploy?

"Things" is not the answer.



Has been for the last two centuries.



All Chinese subs currently in service are only glorified diesel subs, they can't run over 20 knots for long without destroying their engine machinery.

Chinese metallurgy is notoriously poor in quality.



Launch a ballistic missile, start a nuclear war.

its not a ICBM its a fuckin carrier killer you know that most powerful navy you once knew now all sunk to the bottom cause a few missles

There's more ballistic missiles types than the ICBMs.

The US may recognize a SRBM/MRBM launch as not a threat to CONUS but India and Russia will immediately shits their pants and launch because they don't know wtf the thing is heading for.

Russian and India launch, Pakistan and NATO then launch.

It takes a good 20-30 minutes to know where a ballistic missile is going. You have only 5 to order you're to get your ready and flying before the enemies land. Even less with the shorter ranges missiles so you fire ASAP.

Solely relying on ballistic missiles has always been retarded and one of the greatest fuck ups in the history of nuclear deterrence was the shift to soley relying on them instead of a mixed force with bombers which are both harder to hit, give you a greater reaction time to prevent a crisis from going to war and have thinking human beings behind them.

FYI, there's no such thing as a ballistic missile "self-destruct system", once they're fired WWIII begins.

Of course, all this is beside the fact that we have yet to see these Chicom missiles in action. They are after all, ballistic: Once the CBG makes even the slightest turn the missile will just plop harmlessly into the sea miles from the carrier.

The US keeps a close eye on missile launches from every country and in war time conditions, bar a ballistic launch triggering a nuclear exchange, every CBG in range will alter course.

You can counter that the US GSP sat system will get knocked out right off the bat and you'd be right... just like China's equivalent will be and without it there's no way the Chinese will even know where the US carriers are much less fire off missiles at them.

And of course, we haven't yet touched upon the fact that the USN is arming their escort ships with ABM systems as we speak.

Cut out the dick waving and state facts.
