Russian support could give China's army "a decisive advantage in a potential conflict with the United States."

also, this is an incredible statement, they're basically moaning that China would be able to respond effectively to a nuclear first strike by the burger empire
Asian defence officials said a joint early warning system would also allow China to launch nuclear weapons upon receiving warning of an impending nuclear strike. That would mark a shift from its strategy of using nuclear weapons only in retaliation against a strike that has already occurred — a change that nuclear experts believe Beijing has long contemplated.
I worry that as the US crumbles it decides to take others out with with it by launching its nukes.
It's the kind of stupid petty shit it would do
I think managing US decline and preventing a nuclear first strike by the US are probably pretty chief among China's foreign policy concerns

Some part of me is confident that our maintenance is so shoddy that a good chunk of our warheads are just nonfunctioning now
It's absolutely what they'd do instead of giving up their position as the #1 empire.
The only thing that's shocking to me is that some US president didn't decide that they'd totally win a nuclear war during the Cold War.
The US president is a servant of capital. Whether or not they individually believe in winning a nuclear war is largely irrelevant. And if they get any funny ideas, they better watch out for any grassy knolls nearby.
3rd world countries have to be ready with an army of chalk-dust planes to seed even more shade into the atmosphere as the nukes fly
