Do you understand the fundamental concept of the nuclear deterrence?
If China didn't possess these things, then the entire Asia would be in big trouble. Just look at Iraq and Syria, the US wouldn't be hesitated to bring in a region without a strong military pillar.
if I understand the fundamental concept of the nuclear deterrence?
is it when two guys hold guns on each other heads hoping no guy dares to pull the trigger first?
or will you threaten to unleash a nuclear strike in return on America if she fires first?
you should know it is a big gamble, because
- in the first case, you are the first who dies if the other guy is the first who pulls the trigger.
- similar the second case. if America launches the first strike on China, she will launch 1,000 missiles, at least, to make sure you can´t return the favour. because there isn´t much left over afterwards. don´t come here with the excuse you have en masse underground bunkers.
If China didn't possess these things, then the entire Asia would be in big trouble?
do you mean Japan is in big trouble if China hasn´t nukes?
will you say Vietnam is doomed if you haven´t mass destruction weapons?
you have humour.
the tension in the East and South China sea has the root in China.
one thing you shall understand is nuclear weapons is deterrence, but won´t hinder a nuclear war. because the human factor is greater. human mistake and miscalculation. read Cuban missiles crisis. read the near catastrophe in the 1980s during the height of the cold war.
