    nowhere nearly “easy”

    nuclear strikes on a carrier fleet are an easy way to sink them. No civilian casualties. War doesn’t have to be a fuck around process.

    You have The Chinese telling all of their neighbors in the S.C. sea that they own it, trying push the Philippines back, trying to push the Vietnamese back.

    There’s room for compromise on a greater cooperation agreement, especially with Vietnam. Philippines deserve destruction or overthrow of their corrupt US puppet.

      Only a feeble-minded person could believe that anyone could confidently use nuclear weapons against the United States and not face equal retaliation. The people would demand it.

        Interesting theory that people would demand doomsday for some ships getting sunk. That people cannot accept the end of their empire’s military projection. The US should then preemptively use nukes, with popular support, in any war they will fail in. Guarantee you that there will be no referendum on retaliation, only the usual media militantism and tyranny.

        The MAD doctrine only gets invoked at the sight of several incoming missiles on territory. It is your response to navy being sunk that causes MAD.
