The perfect war
Dear editor: China is a very rich and powerful country. China has very powerful leaders. A very small group of people that are controlling a very large population. These leaders are perhaps the most insecure group of people on this planet. Consciously or subconsciously, they know that one misstep and they can be on their knees in Tiananmen Square with a pistol at the back of their heads and the crowds cheering. It is extremely important to keep their population’s stomach full and their hands busy.
They know that any kind of a military conflict with the USA is a no-win situation, no matter how it would turn out. However, a military conflict between the USA and North Korea, particularly if it is a nuclear conflict, is a win-win for China.
Much has been written about North Korea hitting our various cities with a nuclear ICBM. This is nonsense. What is needed is one reliable ICBM that can reach the center of the USA and explode a fusion bomb 35 miles above the earth into the atmosphere. Instantly, the USA is now in the 18th century.
Hundreds of millions American citizens would die not from radiation, but for lack of food and water. As thousands die, disease will take a nasty toll.
China will offer some humane aid and will extract families from Silicon Valley.
This is the perfect war for China. Our nuclear strikes against North Korea will eliminate millions of refuges from entering China from North Korea. The USA will become a wasteland of dead and dying. China needs only to wait and prepare its sanitation crews fort their trip to the new China. First the sanitation crews, then the technicians carefully trained to put the new China’s interstructure back in working order.
No need to build housing for the millions of Chinese coming to the USA (New China), the housing is already there. All equipped with the best of China’s appliances. China is blessed to have a place to move 320,000,000 people. Their new home, New China, will be a great source of food for their people back home. Chinese leaders will not have to worry about empty stomachs or idle hands for centuries. R.B. McArdle Hot Springs
