Just some children playing with their toys, U.S. is the same way, this is nothing new.
What is new about this is that China released the information. It's common sense that this would be Chinas plan, but they have never released it like this before. They are flexing their muscles a bit. There must be a reason why. The question is ... what message are they sending and to whom are they sending it???
Yep, but really its not a big deal.
During the cold war it was the same, its just bluster and pandering, they need to look strong with the US presence in the Pacific.
Though I wish we would get past the Insanity of MAD thinking.
Its little comfort that the US forces would immediately analate China after any such attack (our nuclear subs are far more advance and plentiful) Does little if half the country is suddenly gone.

That is just what users have been saying on this website mind you.

I think this has more to do with Japan than us - and as long as the US doesn't get involved with Diaoyu island or other provocations by Japan we should be fine.

China wouldn't go this alone. If it does happen most likely Russia will be helping. Nuke the biggest threats then a full scale invasion. The ground troops would be stationed in Mexico on the border so the Texans will be the first to get their asses handed to them. USA couldn't win a war against China and Russia. I know alot of people are like pssshhht you can't beat us. Here's reality... USA is not invincible.
All they have to do is cripple the power grid and nuke military bases and big cities. Then the military couldn't fight back we would be scattered and unprepared.
