US-China Military Conflict Will Lead To A Nuclear War
Published onThursday, 02 January 2014 16:40

AN analyst says the US has an “impetus to express military hostility” toward a rising China and warns that a potential conflict between the two superpowers could lead to a “nuclear war.”

“If the United States and China actually went to war, there is a strong possibility of a nuclear war, either between China and the United States or between Russia and the United States as an ally of China potentially or in the event to protect its own geopolitical interests,” Don DeBar toldPress TVon Wednesday.

He made the comments after a Russian expert said China would be able to defeat the United States during a possible conflict in the Asia-Pacific region within the next six years.

“It’s highly probable that China, after the completion of the current cycle of reforming and rearming its armed forces through 2020, will be capable of defeating US forces and its allies in the course of some local conflict in East Asia,” Vassily Kashin wrote in an editorial published by the Voice of Russia last week.

“Today the US is facing an internal crisis and dearth of funds” which will force America to “accept defeat” in a future battle, according to Kashin, a senior research fellow at the Moscow-based Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies.

DeBar, however, said the possibility of a full-blown military conflict between China and the United States in the Pacific is an “interesting speculation.”

“There is a conflict of interests that exists between these two powers and there is willingness on the part of the United States to use war as one of the parts of its tool box,” he said.

“China is I think more mature in many ways and certainly not hostile power like the United States is and so hopefully that, and just general sanity, means if there is a battle it will not escalate into a greater war,” he added.

Well duh....anything over a very local incident would most likely get out of hand. Got MY shelter ready....you?

US has not gone to war against Iran.

Why would it do so against China?

The history of modern war clearly shows that US will not attack China.

It will use economic sanctions until Chinese economy is crippled.

China however may get impatient and try to attack US Pacific side like Japanese did at the start of WW2.

So the OP is flawed. Deeply flawed.

No Asian nation want US to leave the region and left the power vacuum all alone to China. Within US national interest to preserve the US military power and influence in the region. I don't think US and China will head on a collision course of military confrontational. Most of the hot issue constrain the relation between most of the Asian nation involves in contending ownership of the island in the sea. Solve the islands issue, most of Asian nations will less likely to start a war over anything. If all the nations agree to explore and share the resource together, there won't be a major reason to start a war in the region.

All this talk about China and America engaging in nuclear exchanges in XYZ year.. Meanwhile in the West Coast of America, they are already being attacked by toxic steam coming from Fukushima, which the media are doing a great job at not reporting.

If we didn't see nuclear war in Cuba crisis,I believe we won't see it again.Hiroshima and Nagasaki was the first and the last human's mistake.

US has not gone to war against Iran.

It will use economic sanctions until Chinese economy is crippled.

I agree this part.
