@Metal-Brain saidYour post does not respond to my saying that we are not threatened or attacked, because we have nuclear weapons.
Are you sure? Trump threatened to nuke North Korea and they have nukes too. So your "because we have nukes " logic is flawed. Nukes do not deter threats, they deter being nuked.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. You have heard tha ...[text shortened]... are too concerned with words like "they chanted death to America". 47 years ago. People are stupid.
You instead start something new by saying that we might have threatened to attack North Korea. I don’t know if we have or not, but I did not write to you about who WE might attack. So you need to go back and erase your post which says nothing.
@shavixmir saidDon’t you see, this issue is not about WHY there would be a threat.
You said the only reason the US hasn’t been threatened is because you have nukes.
These countries don’t, so why aren’t they threatened?
We need more talent in the writing of Posts around here.
It is not about WHY, Shav. That is not the issue. Geez.
@shippingtest saidAre you there shippingtest? I have yet to discuss that the United States has a combination of innovation on entrepreneurship, world class universities, and the ability to create globally Dominic companies. We have a military that can deploy forces globally in a way that China currently cannot. We have the world's primary reserve currency.
Funny how you paint China as a desolate wasteland out of sheer ignorance.
China boasts diverse landforms from snow-capped plateaus, vast fertile plains, winding coastlines, towering mountains to abundant natural resources, four distinct seasons across different regions, countless world-famous national parks and breathtaking scenic spots far more varied than you could ev ...[text shortened]... de? It certainly is not China. Stop weaving biased, ridiculous lies to prop up your flawed argument.
But let me not get ahead of myself, give me your thoughts.
@AverageJoe1 saidIran kicked diaper don's ass. Kegbreath is a moron. Dump is laughed at by world leaders. At least we got that going for us.

Jesus.
@shavixmir saidYou conflate two Sep issues. “Why” no one dare attack us is because we have nukes.
It’s the fvcking title and the main drive of your OP, man.
Jesus.
The REASONS that one country may attack another country would be, for instance, to get their minerals, such as that.
That is, reasons to attack. The OP is about ‘why’ one country does NOT attack another country.
Follow me man, it ain’t that hard.
‘Reasons’ TO attack.
‘WHY’ one does NOT attack.
Whew.
@AverageJoe1
Another way to put all this. The reason China doesn’t attack Philippines, there is nothing they want.
@beardmusic saidSome folks such as shave, like to play word games and write complex posts. I had written that no one attacks us because we have nukes. He says then why doesn’t China attack the Philippines, who do not have nukes?
@AverageJoe1
What on earth are you talking about?????
I distinguished our remarks. Mine shows WHY no one attacks a country that has nukes. His is asking for a ‘reason’ (not asking for a ‘why&rsquo😉 that China does not attack Philippines . I said the Philippines have nothing that they want.
@shippingtest saidYou are in denial. There are multiple websites that reported the same thing.
@Metal-Brain
Key Fact Clarification
1,The website centerforsecuritypolicy.org, it only excerpts extreme remarks from ordinary internet users without any official statements from the Chinese government to back up its claims. It deliberately distorts online personal opinions as national policy to spread disinformation.
2,The so-called claim that "China issued nuc ...[text shortened]... complete operational plans for nuclear strikes against China. Could you tell me which country it is?

@AverageJoe1 saidThe Cuban missile crisis involved threats to nuke by both the USA and the USSR. But it should have been called the Turkey missile crisis since the USA putting nukes in Turkey started the whole thing.

This whole thread you created is based on a falsehood because you did not do any research first. Nuclear threats are commonplace. Using them is not.
@Metal-Brain saidNot really 'based on a falsehood'.. it is only my opinion. I think that there is no evidence anywhere that makes certain why we have never been threatened with Nukes. My comment is saying thank God for leaders like Reagan who have us fixed with nuclear capabiity, leading to my opinion.

What do you think would happen if Kamala or Hakeem or some liberal person took over the office, would we reduce our nuclear arsenal? That is a yes or no. Tell, us what else would they do. I saw a clip just then of our leaders sitting with mid-eastern leaders laying the groundwork for peace. Maybe Kamala would enjoy the plane ride, visit the bazaars?

"Why Russia/China never threatened us with Nukes"
Why?
Because they have leaders that are adults, not petulant children.
