They would absolutely not have done it intentionally... that's a strategic WMD attack with a US death toll at least 100 times that of 9/11, and a far higher global death toll.Originally Posted by MiLtoMajor123
What if it wasn't an accident....... ...but the accident story is the new cover up?
Getting caught might mean getting nuked, or paying trillions in reparations in lieu of getting nuked. PRC might be able to put up a good conventional fight in the SCS, but they are vastly over-matched in the strategic realm, by both US and RUS. And then there's FRA, UK, Israel, PAK, IND... how many nuclear powers do you want to pizz off all at once, all of whom are at least peers capability?
And here's the logical proof: Even in some tin-foil alternative reality, if they *were* going to do it they would have waited for DJT to leave office... in addition to being aggressive, he was unpredictable, NOT the wild card you want in the deck if you're going to make the biggest gamble in your nation's 5,000 year history. They are patient, they'd have waited for some squishy hand-wringing Neville to be elected who *might* be too chicken to push the button (that's not the current Potus either).
