What rational scenario would involve taking direct military action against a nuclear armed superpower?
- bovermyer 7y agoMilitary action does not necessarily mean direct conflict. It can include such things as military projection, like placing additional forces in neighboring friendly countries. The threat of nuclear armaments is another question entirely, one that needs careful evaluation. It's still possible to have a cold war - or even a hot war- with purely conventional weapons.

They are weakened already, great opportunity to reassert their lack of sovereignty over some of the south pacific islands they've been gradually calling their own.
