Still, their strange weapons other countries don’t use and other factors make them a physical threat. Although North Korea could launch a nuke at anyone and start a nuclear war, they probably won’t. Their ICBMs are pathetic, but unconventional weapons that they posses should be watched out for. Ultimately, neither North Korea or France have the power to beat their strongest enemies. Possession of nuclear devices is not a replacement for anything but other WMDs.

Heh, the US Air Force is gonna be real shocked when they realize that the tanks ARE the anti-air defenses!

Ok, and I'm a football playing king in space.

He's clearly not saying that. It is deluded to think that nations can all just live in peace, and history shows that is very very clearly not the case. I'm sure France would've loved to live in peace with the Germany in the 40's, but they couldn't. I'm sure Kuwait would've loved to live in peace with Iraq in the 90's, but again, they couldn't. Of course not all nations have to be in constant state of war to exist, but sometimes they need to fight wars to preserve this existence.

They could have if the treaty of versailles wasn't written to fuck over Germany.

If Sodamm Insane wasn't a greedy invading prick they could have.

Anyway, Russia and China are not currently threatening the existence of the US and friends.

So there is absolutely no reason to go to war with them and peace is the only logical option.

Well unfortunately, that wasn't the case then, and it isn't now. China is threatening the US and her allies of Taiwan and Japan. Russia is threatening Ukraine and the Middle East. I don't want war, but peace isn't the only logical option. I just hope that it's the best option.

You are missing the point.
Nobody is saying launch a nuclear preemptive strike on them or something.
Greedy invading pricks are part of life.

You must be prepared to deal with them.

It makes as much sense as saying France will defeat Russia with a few submarines.

Defeat? I never said defeat, I was saying the French have their own MAD potential to stop a Russian invasion from advancing too far into continental Europe. But I forgot I was talking to Americans, who only consider American hardware as a significant factor. Oh and Russian hardware of course, have to have a boogeyman to justify a bloated military budget.

Soon enough, the North Koreans are going to equip their tanks with nuclear missiles

I don’t think that’s new though. I think the Russians tried it.

I'm going to make the leap and suggest the US probably tried it at some point

China grumbles and gripes about Taiwan all the time, Japan's self defense force makes sure that no one is invading Sunrise land anytime soon.

That and SK's armed forces is apart of the US's clubhouse of friends along with Japan.

So that would also be a deterrent. Not even war, Samsung can just move out of China and move into SK and America should China invade Japan for some reason.

Middle East is too much of a mess to do anything with rn, and Russia wouldn't full on invade Ukraine unless they wanted everyone to declare war on them.

Peace is the only option that doesn't have a body count so it is the best option.

Literally fucking no one is saying we should go to war right now, you've constructed a strawman. What is being suggested is that only delusions could be behind the logic that somehow we can just decide to "live in peace" and thus everyone else becomes a peaceful, rational actor. Reality is the real world doesn't work like that, which is why you arm the hell up.

Nuking the country with the most nuclear capability right off the bat sounds like a terrible idea.

But I forgot I was talking to an arrogant Frenchman who thinks that France is the greatest country.

I think they had a nuclear missile launcher that looked like a tank if that’s what you mean.

Look up the Chinese 2020 plan, which is China's plan to "reintegrate" Taiwan by 2020, using force if necessary. Korea and Japan are only a deterrent if they get involved, which they may not with Taiwan as it would hurt their economies. While yes hoping for peace is the best option, hope in one hand and shit in the other, as they say.

No idea, I'm just assuming the US at some point during the Cold War tried to attach nukes to tanks.

I am not sure about nuclear armed tanks, but we did have nuclear weapons on jeeps, you could stick a Davy Crockett on a tank.

We did look at a nuclear powered tank.

If you ask me, nuclear tanks and jeeps are our best option. I mean think about it, would you fight a bastard crazy enough to put nuclear missiles on their jeeps?

Living in peace is what we are currently doing with Russia and China right now. The article OP posted talked about "World War III ‘wargames’ show U.S. forces crushed by Russia and China in certain hot spots around the globe."

So I say in response, just keep on living in peace with them.

Keep war as a last resort, beacuse I don't want war?

And I'm deluded for not wanting war.

Internationalist Bastard wrote:Neat, now we’re gonna spend even more on our military

Rest assured the US will continue to spend more on its military than the next 20 or so nations. After all we need to continue to win most or all of the battles in the wars we will continue to lose. A couple more like Somalia, Afghanistan and/or Iraq and/or another election debacle like 2016 and Russia and/or China won't have to bother to invade. In particular if we can't even push a Maduro out in our own backyard without sending the Marines our standing as a global power is going to take a serious dive.

So what? China will ask for reintegration with Taiwan, Taiwan says no, China pisses and moans but eventually gets bored and goes back to makeing fucktones of money.

You're deluded in thinking that just because peace currently exists that it will stay that way, or that one can just simply "decide" to stay at peace with them. That's not how reality workers.

It will stay that way beacuse it's more profitable for China and Russia to stay at peace then go to war.

That and people don't want to go to war.
