@metal-brain saidPhone calls cost very little, and in a situation like this, also mean very little.
30 million? That is a bargain?
A phone call costs next to nothing. You are silly.
@metal-brain saidWhy should anyone Skype anyone why should China get to decide who visits who.
How much did it cost the American taxpayer to pay for Pelosi's security for the visit in person instead of making a phone call or a Skype virtual meeting?
It was obviously to create an excuse for a military buildup by the USA.
This is clearly more about the CCPs domestic audience and since when has the US needed an excuse for a military buildup anywhere
China's hypersonic missiles could easily detonate 3 or 4 small 200KT nukes at 100 miles high which would knock out all electrical power in the US for many months.
By then over 90% of the population would be dead and China could move in and take whatever they wanted, inviting Russia to come in and do the same.
Meanwhile, the useful idiots here, if still alive, would welcome the change I bet.
Until they got lined up against a wall and shot.
@jj-adams saidThe U.S could do the same to China.

@vivify saidDo we have the capability?
The U.S could do the same to China.
Even if we did, we'd need someone in the White House that could respond to a Chinese attack without waiting to be told what to do, and even then I don't see him doing anything but breaking down crying and asking for someone to help him to the toilet.
Maybe he could look up Corn Pop and get his advice.
@vivify saidGood.

"U.S. successfully tests pair of Lockheed hypersonic missiles"
So that's yes to my first question.
What about the second?
If Biden was told there was a stream of Chinese hypersonic missiles headed our way, what do you think the senile old fool would do with the minutes of reaction time he had left to make a decision?
Probably call up Trump for advice.
@jj-adams saidThe U.S. military doesn't twiddle its thumbs waiting for orders on how to defend the country during imminent attacks. Anti-missile defenses would be automatically activated with or without the president.
Good.
So that's yes to my first question.

The president would be consulted regarding counter measures like whether to invade, launch nukes, etc.
@jj-adams saidYes we have the capability and Biden could handle it just fine.

Your or I have no idea of the US’s latest defence capabilities because only authoritarian regimes who need the hard man image for their domestic audience brag about what they’ve got.
@jj-adams saidHahaha “call up Trump for advice” the one and only time in human history that phrase will get trotted out. It had to be JJ huh.
Good.

@jj-adams saidChina and Russia would do well to minimize the threat-making.

God forbid that there's ever a true "shooting" war.
But rest assured, the United States is technologically capable of defending itself while also prosecuting offensive measures.
Preparations for contemporary hostilities have been underway for over 40 years.
Thus, a legitimate reason to offer "thoughts and prayers" for sanity and calm.
@shallow-blue saidIf you were China you would not like it either.
Phone calls cost very little, and in a situation like this, also mean very little.
My government is trying to steal Taiwan from China.
