<< If 300 millions of Chinese invade the Russian territory ( and they still would have 1000 millions left) what would Russia do? To bomb their own terriory?
Nuclear bombs are useless in the end. Well, they are useful to destroy the world but not to win wars. >>

They won't be able to enter Russian territory because the moment they begin to march towards the Russian border that's the time that they would be bombarded with H-bomb right in the Chinese territory.

Prior to invading URSS , ooops, I mean Russia, the Chinese soldiers would move to the borders, if Russia nuked that part they would also affect their own territory.

And that includes your country too because you're sympathetic to China.

Clearly the world would be destroyed. So the neutral nations had better put pressure on China to not make a move because it would spell the end of humanity.

When you're faced with death or losing, better to die as long as you take the enemy with you.

Perhaps China should wait until after they've perfected their impenetrable missle shield, before grabbbing Siberia, North America, etc. for "living room "and resources.

Alternatively, perhaps they could grab the Middle East and starve the West for oil first. I dioubt we'd start a nucklear war over that.

hahaha that'd be better, Chinese are way better than Arabs.

It makes me lol that people here think China would win in a world war. The USA alone could easily defeat China. But in a scenario like that it wouldn't be China vs. USA, it would be China and Russia vs. Western World+India. There wouldn't be much left of China after that. Mandarin would be an extinct language sorry to say.

USa couldn't even defeat Vietnam, let alone China.

Although this thread is way off topic, I'm enjoying this doomsday discusson. I may be unlikely, but I think the west should work more to befriend Russia. After all, it is a fellow European country, but the past century spoiled relations and this still lingers. For now, a China-Russia alliance would be more likely as they are in the SCO together which is a "strategic" alliance.

Capitalism is the natural economic order. Even in Communist countries, huge black markets have developed in the past and it always comes down to supply and demand. Try taking an economics class. Read Adam Smith. Capitalism is good for rich countries, as it is good for poor and developing countries. People like to focus on how poor nations have to pick up the slack when it comes to manufacturing while rich nations maintain service-based economies. In the end, being relatively poor in a capitalist economy is better than everyone being poor in a communist economy. Time and time again Communism has shown to lead to nothing to bankruptcy.

And anyway, the US military, on the defensive, could defeat any enemy at the moment. Now, if China's military actually approached the US's military with regard to technique, technology, training, and intelligence capabilities rather than simply having huge numbers, the US may be in trouble. However, the US military outweighs every nation in the world. The only reason this is not true in the offensive (Vietnam, Iraq, etc.) is because democracies can't stomach long lasting wars when not under attack.

Skippy is correct. I grew up in a communist country majoring in economics, but sadly all we had access to were the works of Karl Marx. When I finally got my hands on Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, I experienced my very first vaginal orgasm.

Do you know Tamy in the "pregnant" thread?

America's military is shit, all the Chinese would have to do to beat them is go to the mountains for a couple of days and learn guerilla techniques and then the Americans are done for.

Good point skippy.

Right now, China would have a hard time conquering Russia+Europe+Japan+US+India+MiddleEast, etc. But just wait 20 years as China's economic and military clout increases dramatically, while the West continues to decay, partly as a result of political correctness.

Given the bleak outlook for the future, I sure wouldn't want to be a young person in the West today.
