I have heard that between the US and Russia, there is enough nukes to destroy the entire planet 11x over.
That is one thing people don't understand, escalation. You can escalate a war with the US to the point of total planetary destruction.
Now think about the shadow US Space Fleet when thinking about $1.4 Trillion Dollars simply disapearing year after year in the Pentagon. Now, who could find another planet to live on?
And I could have pulled out the facts and given sources, but it is 6AM and I haven't slept yet!
Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana hosts 200 Minuteman IIIs. The remaining 300 missiles are split between Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota and Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming
And third, a Chinese carrier strike group would be no match for a US carrier strike group, which is said to have striking power on par with a middle power nation and a defensive perimeter up to 700 kilometers. The United States is the only country with the capacity to operate the top-of-the-line carrier-based aircraft - and it can deploy as many as 11 such strike groups around the world.

Er... Actually China is a poor county, or at least the average citizen is poor. Step outside of the Shanghai or Beijing and the third world (to use that politically incorrect term) is apparent.

I'd like to see the videos of their aircraft attempting night, bad weather landings.
