found this fact interesting " each of these 20 Chinese missiles are unfueled, without their warheads mated and not very accurate."

America wont go into N.C either , as they do have big bombs and they might just use them.

Are you saying that Iraq had the 4th largest army in the world as a fact, or for the sake of argument?
China and America will not war in the near future. To do so would be fatal for both economies, and any attack America launches on China on the surface will be crushed in moments.

hmm even tho iraq had the 4th largest army in the world and, plus if you knew anything about tactics you'd know it would be stupid to allow your enemy to get defenses and counter forces ready so whatever im glad you arent a general.
Yup, notice that's 98/99. China have since put a man in space (Something America hasnt done for a few years)

edit: In fact, that's the sort of source that Bush used for the war in Iraq! His was only 14 years out of date, yours is just a mere 5.

no, because they havent increased their nuclear forces since 98.

Just that they are comparable.

this is why British special forces (still to ths day) train American Special forces, because a 6 man troop of the SAS could wipe out an 100 man troop of any American Reg (and thats a fact)

whatever you want to think, i've heard that many times but noone has ever proven it to be true with any facts or anything.
China first tested a nuclear device in 1964. This fission device was followed by detonation of a fusion [thermonuclear device] in 1967. Since then it has refined and miniaturized its nuclear devices to facilitate free dropping from fighter ground attack aircraft; delivery through a wide range of missile systems including MRBMs, IRBMs, ICBM, SLBMs and short range tactical missiles; utility as Atomic Demolition Munitions [ADMs]; and, battle field application through heavy and medium artillery pieces. China has shown considerable interest in the Enhanced Radiation Device [ERD], which would provide the wherewithal for tactical deployment. According to one source, the stockpile of nuclear warheads was estimated at 1,245 in 1985, which amounted to approximately three times that of France.

yup that quote is still two years out of date.
and by the looks of your source, 48 + 20 + 20+ 40 is a hell of a lot greater than the 15 you were claiming.
Even if you only take ICBMs, that's still 20, with about 70 more that can do up to 4700 km away, which should be the west coast of America, I think.
also, let us not forget, everytime someone builds a new nuclear weapon, it's announced right away.. isnt it.. oh wait.
Originally posted by browhaIt is quite a good statistic, and it's not too far off the truth I dont think. Certainly a 6 man SAS troop has managed to hold back several hundred soldiers before in Oman.
Have you ever seen the two in action against each other? I think not.
You are so darn stupid and ignorant, I feel sorry for the fact that you will never actually be considered an intelligent being. If aliens came to the earth and saw you, they'd be like 'Next planet, no intelligent life here'
