China can easily take out the USA in one fail swoop. An EMP pulse would disable all veichles electronnics, computers etc. Heck the entire communications systems and transport would be cooked.
No transport: no food or supplies being shipped across the usa = instant death of USA

The military relies on civilian contractors and transport for its supplies etc. USA would not last without an intact transportation system.
One U.S. carrier battle group would need a nuke exploding on top of it to stop its war fighting capability. Since the battle group has air and sea dominance out to 250 miles, good luck with that.
EMP protection was built into every piece of hardware the U.S. military since it was first figured out in the 50s.
And as for your Afghanistan comment, the Soviet Union lost there too. It's an almost impossible region to control.
Winning was not on our mind, revenge was.

American's talk about a balance of power and then criticise other's for rebalancing the power to be more balanced away from the USA's dominatnt position.
If America doesn't want these places to develop this stuff, the US should stop doing it in the first place.
Seriously, stop acting like spoilled children/brats and act EQUAL in the world not the BE ALL AND END ALL of it.
If you want to act that way and be an American, do it in your own home, not ours.edit on 22-7-2011 by zookey because: (no reason given)

US military is already being defeated in Afghanistan. Also how would they know a sneak EMP attack where it came from? You really think no one can defeat the US military lmao, you are sadly mistaken. Our missile defense is only capable of attacking midcourse; there is no boost or terminal defense.
I have been studying the missile defense system for 15 years. It can't defend against boost or terminal missiles. Do you Know of any system capable of taking out topol-m missiles. No
The US military is being defeated in afghanistan right now; a third world country. It is embarrassing.edit on 22-7-2011 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)
