Senator Rene, My previous response to your post was rather flippant. So let me expand on my response a little.
In the early 1950's, there was a Soviet Union that was allied with China and any expansion of the Korean War into China short of the MacArthur recommendation (drop a big one on Beijing) would have been met with a devastating counter-attack not only from China but also from the Soviet Union. The U.S. would stand virtually alone in such a conflict, since Japan was still in ruins, much of Europe was still figuring out individual countries' share of the Marshall Plan monies, Asia was still recycling spent artillery shells and South America was still a bunch of banana republics. Today, the U.S. has Japan as a devoted ally, a Japan that is successfully figuring out ways to do an end-around to its constitutional prohibition against offensive forces, Asian and Australian allies with militaries that have become assertive (read: Vietnam, South Korea, Indonesia). Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, the Central American and other South American countries have economies that are propelling them towards second-world status. While China is definitely a world economic power and is on its way to a preeminent military, Russia is a virtual wasteland. The other Chinese allies - South Korea, Iran and Syria - are either imploding or are on the brink of implosion. Yes, as Kennedy once famously put it, the world is very different now. In the 1950s, wars were fought on land, so the 1 billion Chinese were a potent force. Now wars are fought in the skies, with tomahawk missiles, with drones, and, if necessary, with bombers that, as we speak, have clearly designated targets in China and Russia. Think the Strategic Air Command. If China tries to activate one of its nuclear missiles, the U.S. nuclear arsenal will be alerted and deliver a knockout punch before the Chinese missiles are airborne. China knows this, or at least suspects this. In a game of chicken, they will be embarrassed. But the Chinese military leaders are mainly dumb. That is why I believe they will continue to miscalculate U.S. resolve and intentions. That is why they will fail to gauge accurately Japan's resolve.
