The US could take out China's nukes on a first strike, but if China struck first it would be, of course, be mutual destruction.

I believe I read in a report that it will take only 350-400 (I think it was 398) to take out China and render it destroyed. Such an attack will result in about 325 million deaths in China alone. This does not inculude death from fallout and this does not include the injured. If I could find the report I will post it.

maybe they could take out nukes in 1st strike, but what do you do afterwards when nuke subs surface or receive signals for launch the missiles what do you do???
taking out the land base nukes still would not win a war would it? as subs carry nukes so unless you can take out land base, subs, and ships, you wont win.

I don't know blobby? Destroy the subs maybe? Who knows. There is a good article describing that the US has nuclear primacy over the nations of the world. First strike only. I can try and find it for you if you want, it was published by the Council on Foreign Relations.
