Not sure. Kind of doubt it. I think it's potential is not as unlimited as you might believe. It also has some limitations, like being really expensive.
Expensive by today's standards. It'll be a lot cheaper when they don't need to take return fuel with them.
They'd be fighting it alone though. Maybe Boris would join in, but I can't see Macron and Merkel going along with it. Actually probably even Boris would sit that one out.
I mean I don't believe this is biowarfare. But if it is, then we're already in a war. If you presented absolute proof that China did this deliberately, to France, then they would have no choice but to join the war. Their people would expect it. Even the Germans would probably have to chip in, even though they didn't do too bad in this. It's still a lot of people. This is kinda why I don't think it is deliberate... I can't see China risking a war with the entire world.
The two are pretty much joined at the hip. Economic power makes military power generally.
Kind of. This is why I was careful to use the phrase "sustained economic dominance" in an earlier post. The key word is "sustained".
The nuclear part of that is the critical thing, not that they dropped it from a plane.
Not true. If I had a nuclear weapon that I could only throw, it's not going to scare anyone much apart from those close to me. The fact they could deploy it from the air is not to be ignored. Japan couldn't stop them.
I appreciate the nuclear part is also not to be ignored. But North Korea are nuclear capable, yet they aren't really a threat to anyone except South Korea and Japan, and even then both their respective militaries can probably shoot down NK missiles. Just having a nuke isn't what matters, being able to deploy it is.
