Right now, China has 70 ICBMs and 410 warheads, an arsenal that, of course, yields to that of the US. Sources in the secret services claimed that the missiles that are currently on service in China are capable of reaching just separate regions of the US Pacific Coast, as well as India and part of Russian territory. If the DF-41’s technical characteristics are confirmed, this will drastically change the situation.

Time to play the piper...?
Nevermind
So, Let me ask you this.
How is this any different than the Soviet Union's capability of obliterating the US during the cold war which would have triggered MAD?

It's different because the Russians have never used nuclear weapons against anyone. ever.

Isn't this the same rhetoric that I grew up with regarding the former Soviet Union? They say we can hit you, we say we can hit you too, but much harder and your cities will be destroyed before your first ICBM reenters the atmosphere?
Not that it isn't worthy of discussion because it is, but eventually someone has to fill the void left when the Soviet Union collapsed.

And
China has?
Or are you somehow making a moral call on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
If you are I'm pretty sure all those who were responsible are either dead or so old they wear adult diapers and are spoon fed from a blender...

Your comment regarding the age of that attack is irrelevant
