108. If America had a President with some balls, yes we would launch a nuclear attack in that scenario. Bankrupt, we would not be able to fight a conventional war against China, but in a nuclear war we’d kick China’s ass. Two SSBN’s can take out China’s nuclear arsenal, and ICBM’s would take out their manufacturing centers. China would be reduced to a third world country again. And what would we lose in that scenario? Maybe LA and San Fransisco and a few other strategic assets on the West coast, if China managed to get any nuclear weapons off the ground before our Tridents vaporize them.
