The U.S. is also concerned by what a senior defense official described as China's establishment of 'a new normal' of heightened military activity around the island following Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.

The U.S.

The new report released on Tuesday describes China as now having more than 400 nuclear warheads and continuing with the accelerated build-up of its arsenal, projecting that it could have 1,500 warheads by 2035. Even with China's dramatic increase, it's larger nuclear arsenal will still be much less than the United States' declared stockpile of 3,750 warheads capable of being deployed by hundreds of land-based and sea-launched missiles and a strategic bomber fleet.

"We see the PLA doing things like the increased crossings over the center line, and behavior that appears to be intended to kind of intimidate or sort of wear down Taiwan," said the official. "Which, obviously, is just not what we want to see."

Is anyone in the Democrat or Republican Party concerned about this information? They should be worried, very worried, about China’s preparation for war. When a man loads his pistol, he probably means business. Is anyone in Congress or the White House listening?

China and many countries have pledged No-First-Use of Nuclear weapons. When is US going to pledge the same?

Don't forget their concentration camps

I'm not afraid of the man who wants ten nuclear weapons, Colonel. I'm terrified of the man who only wants one

“Cmon man. Cmon. China isn’t a threat, man.”

Well, it's because someone who likes to threaten others with violence all the time has hundreds of nukes aimed at all Chinese major cities. A few hundred of nukes won't be enough to deter such foe.

Unnecessary power tussle, invest in love not all these

US could have as many as 5,500 warheads by 2022.

America paid for them and their research through Bill Clinton's free trade agreement in the 90s... that is the one Bill that has destroyed America and put it in danger the most

Nuclear weapons are employed as a last resort. What's your boggle? If you want to waste resources you can use nuclear weapons. Because it's not safe after nuclear weapons are employed. If you want my options. WMD's will more than likely be biological weapons and nuclear follows.

SpeakerPelosi f*cked up the PFAS

Impressive, but after the first time they destroy the entire population of the planet there’d be no one left to impress.

And what will biden do? Zero

Just different norms.

Why is Nancy Pelosi serving as a senior Defense Department official? She couldn't even keep her home.

Thank Biden

The Biden administration is bought and paid for by China.

i think it's more actity on lower levels then on the surface!

Elon Musk: Fully Loaded Tesla Semi Just Completed 500-Mile DriveTesla CEO Elon Musk wrote that a Tesla Semi completed a 500 mile drive weighing in at 81,000 lbs, which is almost 100% of its Gross Combination Weight (GCW). Good short haul option. Let’s give Elon Musk a taste of the ‘free speech’ he’s promoting and remind the world - including Tesla owners and SpaceX employees - that Musk has embraced traitors, racists, and fascists. A Tesla is now a MAGA hat on wheels, and BN7 might as well carry a swastika.
