Risk to America launching a reckless attack on China is with the no brain Trump and equally brainless Washington rogues

This is all assuming the Chinese have not time and capability to retaliate from a first strike. I believe the Chinese knows the meaning of second-strike capabilities, as not all nuclear weapons and their whereabouts can be destroyed with first strike on the vastness of the Chinese mainland and on the high seas. One or two nukes against Seoul, Tokyo and Manila will silence them for good. The nukes today are unlike those dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those are just like firecrackers in comparison, dropped on a hapless non-nuclear Japan that cannot retaliate.

That is also assuming North Korea's Kim is just prepared to sit around twiddling his thumb and Putin is just taking a nap. What are Putin and Kim's purpose in attending the Victory Day Parade in Beijing? To exchange T-shirts with Xi, enjoy Chinese food or make further deals to consolidate their military strategy? Your guess is as good as mine.

Kim Jong Un knows that China and Russia are its guarantee of survival and would not be sitting around to face destruction likewise. Putin knows Russia depends much on Chinese economic support and has much to lose if China capitulates to the West. That will expose Russia on all fronts facing NATO to the West and USA occupied China to the South East.

It is not as simple as the USA assuming it can walk all over China with ease. Even Vietnam, a small country is nothing like a walkover for the USA if we consider the differences in military strength. Yet the USA lost the war with all the military advantages.

The USA may have fought countless wars during its short history, some with painful defeat like in Vietnam. China has fought many wars, both civil and against foreign aggression in its five- thousand-year history and has yet to collapse, unlike the Roman Empire, Alexander the Great, Hitler's war machine and Napolean the military genius.

Let us say the USA takes control of China, just like the attempts made by the Anglo-Saxon White clique in the past dividing up China into concessions. Can the USA hope to rule over China with its vast landscape and the Chinese definitely going to fight back. Even controlling Iraq and Afghanistan posed huge logistic problems for the USA. China is bigger than that and the USA is just like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. It will choke itself to death.
