So your argument that China is weak is that it would be a MAD scenario if it used it's power against the US? What about the fact that the same holds true in the opposite direction? US attack on China is MAD as well?
Don't forget that China does have a military, in particular, they've been picking up a lot of sophistiated anti-ship missiles, probably just in case of that whole carrier group thing.
And destroying China would destroy the US, China produces so many things that the US needs and buys, the US does not have the production capacity to make up for the loss. Not to mention that with a competitor out of the way, the countries WITH that capacity would be able to ramp up their prices to whatever they pleased.
That's not even considering the fact that attacking China would get the US sanctioned to the stone age by the rest of the world, while China would just have been doing business and collecting on it's debts.
And please, knock it off with the condescending behavior. Telling me to pull my head out of my ass is an insult which suggests that my opinion is not born of actual opinion, but of ignorance. Just knock it off and we'll get along fine, I don't care if it's your wacky "hating everyone" attitude or because you're so hilariously irreverent, but if you want to have a debate with me, don't bring out the insults. This is not a matter of easily offended, it's a matter of principle. Trust me, if I was actually offended by your attitude, I'd simply leave, I don't have much anger to waste on internet arguments.
