If we go to war with China it will come to our soil. I’ve heard so many years we would never get invaded and in the past it was true but these days I doubt it. They have how many millions in their armed forces?

But we will never fight our biggest trade partner. Not in these days.

The Greek democracies thought that the natural state of relations between them was war

What are you talking about?

The only way China "wins" in WWIII is if they are allied with us.


Today on Can BRick Argue... we see if BRick can argue the feasibility of SIOP in a nuclear exchange with the world's only other superpower!

What is SIOP?

And yes, if there is a nuclear war that destroys most of the world then China doesn't win either. It's like you guys never saw the movie Wargames. If we assume that WWIII is not nuclear war(because then it doesn't matter who is on what side) then China if it wants to "win" is with us.


The old game company Game Designers Workshop did an entire RPG based on a limited war thing, Called Twilight 2000. It is brutal. In actuality nukes are used to kill the most precious thing a modern society needs to function,POL production and distribution.

What if we had millions of armed citizens in a well regulated militia?

So adding significantly more arms is the answer?

That's true. We would have all our citizens with guns. That'll be hard to defeat.
