haha probably launch missiles with conventional explosives at one of their bases i guess.


Keyword: "Conventional". Remember, you've proposed the idea of getting rid of all "conventional" weapons and keeping only the nuclear weapons instead. "Conventional" explosives fall under the category of "conventional" weapon.

Can you just stop coming up with nonsense already, or do we have to keep teaching you all this crap? Stop wasting our time and just throw in the towel; you've dug your own grave by saying how anything other than nuclear weapons are "worthless".

Offensive strike missiles. Long-range missiles similar to China's Dong Feng series could allow Tokyo to strike at North Korean targets, and other targets as well. $4 billion over five years.

More missile defense. Japan right now has only two PAC-3 batteries around the Tokyo region. This is not enough. The government should try to get the licensing rights to co-produce PAC-3 with the USA, and to deploy more around all major cities, perhaps up to a dozen batteries. There should also be more spending on SM-3, and also more C4ISR and radars and comm/integration for the whole national missile defense shield as a whole entity. $9-11 billion over six years.


I was talking about this. I said "missiles" not necessarily nukes. And he was talking about Japan then; though he's right about the hypotheticals he's providing. I don't know what threat is being cited in Japan's case, but I'm guessing it's China.

Ugh and I said any proposed budget increase was worthless in the scenario being presented, as in the threat from China is somehow realized as far-right nationalists fear.

Completely annihilate the attacking countries if they even land, a pretty sound ultimatum. I don't think Taiwan is going to surprise attack China and then massacre Beijing, but if they did that, they deserve a nuclear holocaust. Some goes vice versa if China attacked Taiwan. It might sound insane to completely annihilate a country with nuclear weapons, but then again, what kind of fu-king retard would attack Beijing?


Considering how you were being just like the "kind of fu-king retard" who would be willing to destroy Japan? Speak for yourself.

QUOTE
it's really unlikely that they'll be able to do that with 10,000+ warheads, which might be needed for emergencies. of course, having nukes means having the means to support and counterattack with them, not just leaving an ICBM in the middle of a playground somewhere at an elementary school, without the obvious things to support and guard it.


Alright, lets just sum this up. China doesn't even 10,000 warheads. You are mistaking it with the U.S. nuclear inventory. China currently has 400 warheads, at the most, ready to go. And even that's nowhere close enough to assuring that Chinese nuclear stockpile will survive since many of them are;

1. Static silo-based, which can be taken out with precision strikes and special forces,
2. Mobile submarine-launched, which can be taken out with attack submarines trailing the boomer close by,
3. Mobile truck-launched, which can easily be spotted by satellites since these things are massive and delicate bastards to begin with, thus making them sitting ducks for air strikes and bombardments,
3. Gravity bombs dropped by bombers, which are vulnerable to coordinated attacks and air defenses.

QUOTE
By raining nuclear death, chemical and biological weapons on the attacking country, to kill 95-100% of their population and destroy all their infrastructure. Since were in crazyland already.


So you are willing to see China use nuclear weapons when the other side is using conventional arsenals despite having nuclear capability? And who was it that stated that you don't want to see a nuclear holocaust as a result earlier in this thread?

How ironic.

QUOTE
I don't think you understand. A large scale conflict between powers ISNT going to happen because of nukes and other things. But whatever, apparently people want to fantasize that war is goign to happen. So everyone should fu-king spend all their money on the military I guess. I mean the US spends 500+ billion so why doesn't everyone else.


No. It's you who doesn't understand the concept of the weapons of mass destruction. You've stated that China is going to launch a nuclear attack on Japan and how it is complete waste of money for them to spend money on conventional equipment, and now you are trying to say otherwise. Stop hopping back and forth between making decisions.

QUOTE
Well, the attacking nation has two options: attack and be totally wiped off the map and destroyed forever, or mind their business.


Do you understand the concept of MAD at all? If the defending country decides to lob the nukes, it's game over for both the defender and the attacker.

QUOTE
What would China do if that happened now? Invade? I'm not sure here. Sounds like it'd be retarded for both sides. But I guess launch ICBMs with conventional explosives.


You are an idiot. Why the hell would you strap 3,000kg of conventional explosives on to expensive rockets that can go half-way around the world? Such a small amount of explosives isn't even going to do much damage unless a direct hit occurs, and even then very small area would be affected.

QUOTE
Definitely not throw 90 billion at them, heh.

Anyway let me ask this, under what fu-king retard's rule is someone going to firebomb Beijing or Tokyo today? I know some of you might be going through this young guy phase where war is thought to be so glorious and cool but the truth is that it's a fu-king plague on humanity if you ever read history.


HAHAHAHAHA!! That line coming from the c_nt of a mouth of the retard who wanted the Japan to be nuked? Get over it; you've lost the argument and you can't do anything but to contradict yourself.

QUOTE(moobie @ Apr 8 2007, 11:54 PM) [snapback]2853185[/snapback]
Japan would be annihilated before they can even arm the ICBMs, it'd take development a few months in advance for them to get second strike capability.

and North Korea could launch a nuke if say, NK nationals "abducted" some scientists.

I'm not willing to watch anyone get nuked. Unless they're crazy Japanese Right-Wing Nazis who want to go around attacking people.


QUOTE(moobie @ Apr 9 2007, 02:18 AM) [snapback]2853420[/snapback]
On the contrary, China is the one and only nation in the world that has both the population and the resolve to survive abject poverty, given their trained resistance to it. However there'd be utter chaos in any of the G8 nations if they were destroyed financially; which is why forex reserves give China (and Japan/Korea) so much power.

No one would honor that treaty with Japan if they were nuked. Self-interests are top priority, and they don't want mutual assured destruction.

Lets review, anyway, to regain perspective:

Some guy suggests increasing Japan's already enormous percent GDP military budget, because of the the "threat of China! OMG, they're going to kill us all"

I suggest not wasting the money and simply developing nukes with the money instead, because that's truly the only thing that will save Japan from China if there's an all out war (which there won't be)

Then we have the point where we're at now.


QUOTE(moobie @ Apr 9 2007, 03:51 AM) [snapback]2853553[/snapback]
Well if they're attacking Japan in the first place, we're already in bat $hit bizarro world so what's new here

The situation which I'm positing though, that I garner from this nationalism crap and offensive capability, is one where Japan goes completely buttfu-k crazy and starts firebombing Beijing or something. In that case China would probably launch a nuclear motherlode, and they should.

However you'd be right if some crazy retard in the CPC nuked Japan; it could probably instigate some kind of nuclear holocaust between the U.S and China.

Personally I think China and Japan are both wasting their money increasing military spending, but oh well.


QUOTE(moobie @ Apr 9 2007, 07:18 PM) [snapback]2855626[/snapback]
it's a waste of money, too. what, do you think conventional forces now are what gives people real power? the power to carpet bomb some muslim civilians.. fantastic.

a nuclear arsenal would ensure that anyone attacking you would be completely annihilated.

if i were in charge of the CCP i'd put all the military spending into making icbms, some with nuclear warheads ;p but then again, according to US reports that's exactly what they're doing.

anyway in what dumb fantasy land is china going to attack japan? are you really enough of a fu-ktard to think china is going to suddenly bomb their second largest trading partner? because every country that updates its military and pays personnel is "rapidly militarizing". if china wanted advanced weapons tomorrow they could have it, 10+ trillion buys a lot of stuff.

nothing you've mentioned can TAKE GROUND or HOLD GROUND either because China will simply overrun you after an attack on Chinese territory and then completely annihilate Japan with nukes. And we're back at square one.

Alright, first of all, you've mentioned how the Japan should be nuked by North Koreans, and I've stated a valid reason for why they can't due to their technical limitations.

Then you've stated that Japan can't retaliate a nuclear strike by the North Koreans, and I've stated a valid reason that the Japanese will have the nuclear weapons before the North Koreans can ever even create one that can "blow Tokyo away" in their wet dreams.

Then you've decided to say that North Koreans can "abduct some scientist" to create the weapons for them, and I've stated a valid reason why they can't just whip up a warhead in a hurry.

Then you've went ahead and stated that how anything else other than nuclear weapons are "worthless", and both Red Fox Ace and I gave you valid reasons to prove your hypothesis--no, not even that, a STUPID OPINION--wrong and that everyone should build more warheads.

Then you've posted how you would load missiles full of "conventional explosives", which contradicts your statement of how everything else other than nuclear weapons are "worthless" and that you would like to keep and maintain only nuclear warheads.

And after a Holy Sh!tstack of quoting and cancelling out your opinions constructed without knowledge, you've decided to state that you were only speaking of missiles when you were clearly referring to nuclear weapons for the past three pages, of which I clearly pointed out. Now you are just angry because you can't even find a proper reason to prove me wrong on that and had to go about stirring the topic on hand towards a COMPLETELY different direction just to make it look as if you know anything about what you are saying, which is highly doubtful given the fact that your statements are groundless to begin with.

Am I trying to lecture a brick wall here?

QUOTE
of course, fu-ktard, but they have enough money to develop them.


Do you even know how much time it takes to develop a SINGLE warhead? It takes TREMENDOUS amount of time and research to enrich uranium to the point where it becomes pure enough to be considered as WEAPONS GRADE. If you don't have highly enriched uranium, the chances are that you will most likely end up with a fizzle. It's not just about MONEY, you tard. You can't simply cork out 10,000 nuclear warheads with the snap of a finger.

QUOTE
No, stupid, because if you didn't notice, none of the nuclear powers are keen on attacking China.


Again, contradictory statement. You've stated how you were willing to see the Chinese use nuclear weapons after I've mentioned that Japan will acquire nuclear arsenals even if the political climate may or may not be heated up between the two nations.

QUOTE
It's called a warning shot. SRBM, I guess.


Another contradictory statement. TBM is a conventional weapon if it's fitted with conventional explosives. You've stated before that everything else other than nuclear weapons are "worthless" and that they should be disposed of. If it's so "worthless", why bother using it at all?

QUOTE(moobie @ Apr 10 2007, 12:24 AM) [snapback]2856494[/snapback]
anyway you guys are the experts, you'll have to tell me how much utility America got from its 200-550 billion average military budget.


The U.S. has over hundreds of thousands of equipment, tens of thousands of vehicles, thousands of aircraft, scores of naval vessels, overseas troop deployments and peacekeeping missions around the world, R&D, troop salary and benefits, logistics lines, training resources and dozens of other things that eat the budget up. Compared to that, what's China doing? NOTHING. All they have done for the past two decades of their existence is to brag off about how "superior" their equipment are while blaring propaganda and subliminal messages and having wet dreams of conquering Taiwan. If the Chinese attempt to do everything that the U.S. is doing right now with the amount of resources that the PLA is currently receiving, China would have gone bankrupt more than a decade ago.

Seriously, try not to contradict yourself and stop trying to turn the tables against me with your stupid little opinions based on a whole lot of nothing. It's like you trying to flick toothpicks at a tank; it's never going to work.

The world doesn't revolve around China. The same three years applied to China also applies to Japan, during which they will be able to develop enough nuclear arsenals to crush the Chinese economy back for decades. You don't need massive stockpiles of warheads to wipe out the entire world; you just need enough to deter the other side from doing anything stupid. I'm sure you would have noticed that by now considering your level of claimed intelligence.

The U.S. economy is in a healthy state at the moment and does not need to be touched unless a major reform that will bring huge results is required. You are most likely confusing it with the federal deficit. It's kind of sad that you can't even help yourself to distinguish between the two, eh?

As for the "long term interests"--international recognition, huge influence over foreign countries, strength to negotiate matters to their favor, and so on.

And it may not cost 300 billion bucks to run a peacekeeping force, but it sure as hell does when you are running a full-fledged military that dwarfs rest of the world's in comparison.

You should look at the big picture instead of playing with amount of dollars. The U.S. spends 3.7% of its GDP on the military, and that's nowhere as close to being wasteful. That implies that the U.S. has 96.3% of its GDP available to other various things, including improvements to the economy as you've mentioned. Considering the fact that the U.S. has the room to be able to make purchases based upon what they make, it's definitely not wasteful. If you want to talk about wasteful military budget, then go talk to the Saudis.

i guess if i were in their position, (though i dont like the ccp) i'd probably be doing what they're doing now, which is putting more missiles across the taiwan strait, improving tech, maintaining personnel, etc. i don't think r&d is included in their official figures though, iirc.

for Japan, against China. I honestly don't think China is going to invade Japan, it's not like they ever have and there's no natural resources or space in Japan, but even so they wouldn't be able to hold up against China especially in the future when she has tens of trillions to shove around. Though when I said I'd put China's additional spending in improving and developing ballistic missiles, the three scenarios you drew up showed it would have been a bad decision, since I didn't think of neighbors being obnoxious.

Of course they could always pull food aid to North Korea, but that would terrible and wouldn't change things at all. Or they could declare Seoul the sole legitimate government of the Korean Peninsula, and tip the scales of geopolitics into Korean Reunification (or South Korean takeover of the peninsula, really) but of course the CCP wouldn't do that.

As for Vietnam and the Spratlys, I'd try using diplomatic ties and economic action to deter them.

But all that doesn't seem like natural CCP strategy, which is a lot more direct.

What Japan does (go right or left wing) is it's business. However, US troops should leave. Northeast asian nations are rich enough to defend themselves.
