    Question What about China?

    I just saw on Fox News a Lt. General was Interviewed and he stated that only Russia has the Power to Destroy the U.S. What about China. Don't they have a lot of I.C.B.M's also? Do we even know how many of them Russia/China/North Korea have? Paul

    China does not have the power along with NK to wipe us out. To tell you the truth I am
    not sure Russia does. At least in the magnitude of the 70-80's. That was 40 years ago and it is very
    expensive to keep 100 mirv rockets ready to go.

    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    Russia has a few thousand warheads according to open source info. Their latest and greatest land based and submarine launched mirvs have the ability to shuck and jive to evade antisat weapons. Also, their missiles may be mirvs or they may be the special ones that have a single huge warhead. You can go online and see what the average yield is for each missile type. But something little talked about is the fact that with only 50 warheads Russia could take out a huge chunk of US population as well as infrastructure where China and Russia have their manufacturing and populations spread out - wich would take a thousand warheads to reduce, however Peking and Moscow are still huge cities and easy targets. Also, in Stanislav Lunev's book he mentions the plan is to use Russian nukes and Chinese troops afterwards, with certain areas of the US going to Russia. But as time progresses and Chinese technology advances, China may just decide to forgo the middle man and hit us on their own and not have to share the spoils.

    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    They might get the west coast, but they won't make it through the rockies. Over 300 million guns the USA will put a stop to that.
    When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." ----- Jack Burton 1986

    Our own govt is a bigger threat to us than either China or Russia at this point.
