Google can intercept nuclear ICBMs? Because if they can't, nothing they do would really matter in a real war against China.

(And saying that actually "it would probably not escalate that far in a real war because... It just won't! " might be a common argument these days amongst war mongering lunatics to make war with China or Russia sound less batshit insane, but it's not an actual argument. It's just run of the mill "this time it's different!" cope that has been said before every blood bath. )




Why do you assume a war with China would inevitably escalate to a nuclear apocalypse?

It seems more likely to be fought in Taiwan conventionally then on either country’s turf.
