    Indeed, I think the real danger is that US might start a conventional war with China thinking they could win, and then when things inevitably start going south, there’s a lot of potential for stupid shit to happen. RAND actually published a study on a conventional war with China, and this is the level of insanity we’re dealing with https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR1140.html

      We also assume that China would not attack the U.S. homeland … given its minimal capacity to do so with conventional weapons

      Jfc you weren’t kidding, these people are actually detached from reality. Amerikkkans really can’t comprehend the reality of war since they haven’t actually experienced it as a population since the civil war. 100% the war would start with America attacking, getting a bloody nose, losing a carrier or two, and launching nukes at China.
