[Canuck_Buck]

While China has been expanding its reach with conventional weapons, the country has also improved its nuclear capability with more and improved ballistic missiles.

The United States has said it would defend Taiwan if it were attacked by China, and China has said it would invade if the country officially declared its independence.

Sure, let's allow china to drill for oil in the Gulf of Mexico....[&:]

M.A.D. is the only thing about nuclear weapons that has ever actually worked , they know they can't win because they'll get anihilated in the process and they've known it for nearly fifty years . They're also keenly aware after the Korean War and watching contemporary events unfold that they can't whip us in a conventional war either . I sleep like a baby knowing that , you should too .
