The U.S. Pacific Fleet commander said Thursday he would launch a nuclear strike against China next week if President Donald Trump ordered it, and warned against the military ever shifting its allegiance from its commander in chief. Adm. Scott Swift was addressing an Australian National University security conference following a major joint U.S.- Australian military exercise off the Australian coast. The drills were monitored by a Chinese intelligence-gathering ship off northeast Australia. Asked by an academic in the audience whether he would make a nuclear attack on China next week if Trump ordered it, Swift replied: "The answer would be yes." Every member of the U.S. military had sworn an oath...

article...

As it should be. However there needs to be and i am sure there are checks in place to not just allow trump to wake up and demand a strike.

protocols need to be followed first i am sure..trump is just the unlucky sap who gets his name attached to death if it were to happen

True - All those those nukes would be useless if you couldn't be confident that they will be launched - I hope you are right about those 'checks' though - To be honest it scares the crap out of me - I have no confidence in Trump at all...

Indeed :2 cents:

Yeah. Imagine if russia or china even THOUGHT we could not quickly or would not quickly use our nuclear power
We would be dead as a pig on a highway

Pretty sure he would be fired if he had said no.

Agreed .. maybe tried for treason or given to the democrats

Goodnight everyone.

Good night, there
Sleep well
I will be resting soon if my fucking neighbors jump into a volcano :thumbsup

china already makes better computer chips than the USA and has 60% of the worlds supercomputers...what makes americans think they do not posses missiles that are up to par with american ones? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

1 research dollar in china is like 100 in the USA...asians have higher IQ than crackers...there are billions of them...

*american insecurity in 3 , 2 , 1....

Who are you arguing with now? - I must have missed a post:upsidedow...

That guy is often upset, I believe.
He's right about the innovation and research happening in china - it's amazing. I saw some shit about that on ADVChina or maybe the guy with Raybans did a film on that (one of those guys)
Scary shit if you want the states to do well

the comp dead in 30 days. :Oh crap you pull out the inside and use as a planter

That would be a cool planter
26ØØ

Who asked him was big troll)

Unlike Corbyn who would not launch the Nuclear Strike. In defence or retaliation.

I am not arguing I am laughing at american arrogance..."We will nuke china" LOL...no they wont...because they want to keep living and stuff :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

When did America say "we will nuke China?". This one man was answering a question from a reporter, (who was obviously looking to create a headline out of nothing), regarding whether or not the military would carry out a legal order from Civilian authority.... and he properly answered that yes, he would. What about that strikes you as arrogant? Did you have too much coffee today or something?


:Oh crap

That is not true. Not only can neither country defeat the USA but both countries combined cannot defeat the USA because they do not have the ability to invade the USA.

There will be nothing left to 'invade' - WTF are you talking about?..

"WFT are you talking about"? The scenario that was offered does not say anything about a nuclear strike against the USA nor the non use of Nukes by us. Read it again and comprehend.

Totally wrong

Putin thanks you for the disinformation

Right on, in the 1st sentence, it's a deterrent:2 cents:

It's good to know this, but these are the kind of things someone should be careful about saying in public. It can be taken the wrong way so easily. And it's some pretty serious stuff we're talking here...like the annihilation of mankind as we know it. No one should fool themselves into thinking that even an isolated nuclear war wouldn't wreak havoc around the entire globe, environmentally and socially. It can never happen.

gfy has turned into such a fucking joke

Trump is too dumb to fail.

I would never ever have answered that questions if I was in his position..."No comment" is the only appropriate answer to that question followed by "China and the USA are friends and trade partners, the people of the USA certainly wish the people of china all the best" <--- good diplomacy

He is representing his country...his answer was bullshit...

hate to break it to you but the USA has no monopoly over tech whatsoever...china made their own processors after INTEL was banned from selling to them...the china chips were faster and consumed less energy than the american ones and they are just 1st generation, wait until they make 2nd or 3rd...it is factual reality that china has 60% of the worlds supercomputing power...

Kim wants to hire that admiral -- they are two of a kind -- lunatics but front page news lunatics ;)

Look at the libby morons whine. It's his damn job to follow that order... Maybe he should be replaced with a Trans and that will take care of the problem.

I didn't say America, or anyone, has a monopoly over tech.

I said you were wrong. Then I said Putin thanks you for the disinformation.

congrats to nuke attackers

Soros thanks you for the service!

China will overtake the US in a few years. It's about economic power these days.

They'll take Eastern Europe first as a test. Your grandchildren will be Chinese, and all this time you were hating blacks, Gays, trannies & Muslims. The Chinese got you!

It is known that China makes all of our nuclear weapons. Nobody does it cheaper. I'm sure they have a backdoor in the code though. We Americans aren't that bright anymore. So good luck to the rest of the world, we're busy making America somewhat great again, maybe, or not, whatever. Wait, we're making America second rate again, that's it.

"No comment" would imply possible weakness
NO COMMENT to THAT would be the propaganda maker's FIELD DAY

Stay off drugs...

Cool your nipples there vladimar

An invasion is necessary in 2017?
I will go out on a limb here and say that I disagree

typical USIS redneck:
