All nuclear bombs have half-life, you cant just store it away, you need alot of resources just to keep it from decaying.

Simply put, detonating a nuclear emp in space is a bad option, but the only option.

My logic is that, i have never ever use ICBM in my discussion as a viable nuke option, because it's not, it's just a weapon of mass murder, and an unreliable one. I am not sure about the reliability of Chinese ICBMs, but will just assume that the countermeasures to defeat an ICBM are plenty...

Yet just this year alone USA have two failed Minuteman launches out of 2, proving that ICBMs are anything but a reliable first strike option, you will never hear ICBM being mentioned as a first strike doctrine in any military thesis i am willing to bet you on that, just think about the...

Again not going to repeat the scenario of what's within the realm of possibility and what's in the realm of fantasy. Having a stockpile of thousands of warheads is one matter, being able to deliver them effectively in a short amount of time is another matter, Trying to decapitate hidden military...

Having 10000 nukes and being able to maintain them is one matter, having enough delivery systems is another matter, maintaining another 1000 ICBMs is another matter, given as i mention the vulnerability and the reliance of these long range missiles on space assets. A nuke exchange no matter how...

Once the first nuke is dropped, economy will be a forethought, we can kiss the age of information technology good bye, the war will be ended in space, not on earth, that is the highest form of MAD, what happens next is anyone's guess, China will not escape it's consequences, but the fact is they...

Or an Mirv over Shanghai or Beijing for that matter, it doesn't matter, it's a creates huge loss of life, it create human disaster and in the end it will be all for nothing, as it will never achieve it's desired effect as a tool for terror.

Sorry but the effects including the blast crater + the emp effect i mention on a modern nuke mountable as a warhead will have a radius of no more than a few miles unless exploded much further above the ground, nukes can be used to disrupt a financial hub or destroy a military installation, it...

That is not how nukes work, the modern nuke which could be mounted on a warhead have no way near the destructive capabilities combined to destroy a city, to put it simply all the nukes mounted on missiles combined dispersed evenly cannot destroy a moderate sized country. The applications of...

To be fair those were the days when space surveillance, and GPS guidance are yet to be realized, which is why aircraft carriers and air to air dogfights are so prevalent in those days, and also the reason for those huge number of loses of fighter jets, today USA military hardware is completely...

It will have to go nuclear because the USA cannot defeat Iran in a conventional war, Castro is right on this, They will go nuclear and try to wipe out as many military assets as they could, but Iran has only one sea land that could be easily sealed off, and i believe they will have enough...

They are strapping drones to their launchers instead of warheads, it will be another fancier one way trip type missions even if it's carrying munitions and the cost to launch one of these babies i would assume is in the range of at least 50-100 million when realized, the boosters alone could be...

I agree that in the event of war Chinese military re industrialization capacity will be like none other we have ever seen, since they already posses all the homegrown expertise and needs to rearm unlike the second world war, but a nuke war is unlikely to happen on land first, it will happen in...

Actually that is not how the currency system work, trust me currency are worthless altogether in times of a war of this scale, that goes for the RMB, what matters is productivity, as Mr. Putin says USA is leeching off the global economy through their manipulation of the dollar and exporting of...

Also you can't cut off a country who has 20 billion in proven oil supply, especially from a nation that is so dependent of exports and commerce through Asia like the USA, you always need to look at things from a broader perspective, you can't cut off your own economical lifeline just so you can...

What you are talking about is sheer fantasy, i do not have to go through the process again to tell you why, America do not have the capabilities to do what you just said, destroy the PLA and her ability to wage war or counterattack. Bringing up Germany is laughable, the Germans depleted most of...

I think you misunderstood the concept of war on attrition, let's say the American basses in the region and their communication and reconnaissance satellites are destroyed or disrupted in the region, who will win the war? Is it costlier to resupply your bases 10000 miles away, or resupply and...

False argument, the Japanese were forced to attack America because of their resources being cut off by the Americans, as Japan was wholly dependent on resources from abroad, hence their expansionist policies, and wholly dependent on resources from abroad to support their military adventure...
