"The true answer to why we haven't intervened is both mundane and terrifying"
No it's not.
That China has nukes is not relevant because there's no impetus for the US to be 'invading' China whatsoever.
Other than of course a standoff in Korea 60 years ago, the US and China are not military adversaries.
- darksaints 6y agoThe US and Hussein's Iraq were not military adversaries until Iraq invaded Kuwait. China absolutely is a geopolitical rival with militaristic and global hegemonic ambitions, and they have already committed to actions that we have gone to war over in the past. And they are on the cusp of a handful of actions that would have triggered a world war if they were done in the past. But nothing will happen to China for the same reason that nothing happened to Russia during the cold war. Because they have nukes.
