War Between China and Japan; A Realistic Possibility?

[Razgovory]

I'm not sure that I see a particular downside to letting China nuke Japan into a slag heap, then retaliating.

You mean other than the complete collapse of the world economy?

That and the fact China would almost certain have some nukes left to hit the US.  I hate anime as much as the next guy, but that might be a high price to pay to wipe it out for good.

No price is too high for that.  I'm quite willing to accept the loss of, say, LA, Detroit, and Missouri if Japan is gone.

Generally nuclear weapons are aimed at things of value.

Do you consider America valuable? I'm asking for a friend.

Read The Salvation War--you'll understand why Detroit would be targetted.

Yeah, I'll get right on that.
