  1. 01:57 there are more than 5 nuclear powers: on top of the 5 permanent members of the Security Council, there also are India, Pakistan, and North Korea as declared nuclear powers, plus Israel as undeclared.

  2. Let's also not forget that the use of these weapons also likely saved several hundred thousand Chinese lives. We know how brutal the Japanese had been when invading China, and experience has shown that an army which inflicts such brutality as it invades, acts even worse in retreat.

  3. PRC will not escalate to that aggressive level. PLAAN is not fit to take on the US Navy and allies.

  4. Funny.

  5. Firing a warning sot at Pelosi's plane would likely have immensely stupid. How would you like this: in exchange for that, USN vessels would systematically fire warning shots at PLAAN vessels in waters around disputed Spratley islands - and sometimes warning shots do not miss. Xi Jinping does not need this level of looming chaos in advance of the upcoming Party congress.

  6.  @patricofritz4094  That foes not make sense. Shooting at the pane of the top legislator of a foreign power which can wipe you out, is not a good move; besides which, PRC's resort to a violent response can me matched, and more.

  7.  @patricofritz4094  Am I a bot, or "people like me"? You're not clear on the concept, are you?

  9.  @markusmuller6173  "the border" is the Taipei airport. Pelosi flew in. Remember, Taiwan is an island.

  10.  @narmortein537  Why investigate Fort Detrick, even if you could? What would need to be verified is not the development, but the alleged use of chemical and biological weapons.

  11.  @markusmuller6173  I have no idea what you mean. For my part, I have lived in 6 countries, had my own passport for over 50 years, and presented it 3 times on arrival in Taipei.

  12.  @DccAnh  The Japanese Sixth Area Army covered central and southern China, and several independent armies reporting directly to the central command in Nanjing were used for garrison, strategic reserve and for specific operations. By the war's end it consisted of 1,050,000 men in one armored and 25 infantry divisions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Expeditionary_Army

  13.  @DccAnh  The Japanese army in China remained a potent military force up until the end. It is the Chinese army which had major supply and logistics difficulties. There was no port available for the Allies to provide supplies - these had to come over the Burma Road (or the Ledo Road, at other times), with some most urgent shipments airlifted over the Himalayas. In contrast, Japan's essential major logistics point of vulnerability would have been the narrow transfer of supplies from the home islands to Korea - for decades administered as an integral part of the Japanese Empire; and Korea was a significant component of Japan's military-industrial complex. You might have been led astray by a recent trend in "just in time delivery". The Japanese commanders, like commanders elsewhere and at other times, would have pressed hard to get what they needed for the prosecution of their military objectives - with a large margin of error. "The US provided significant support to China, but you will be resistant to this notion (and I don't ant to waste too much time correcting your bovine excreta. "They never once send troop nor help to China"... there was an unofficial combat air corps, commonly known as the'Flying Tigers, sent to help China even before the US was at war.. Read and learn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Tigers Your response was not highly informed. Unlike your assertion, US financial and material aid to China in WWII was massive under the Lend Lease program, including 125 P-43 Lancer fighter planes in 1942... etc. You can red more of US air engagements over China at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_engagements_of_the_Second_Sino-Japanese_War
