> China is a military power very close to the US in capability. False, Chinese military is numerically inferior to America, with nearly 4-fold disadvantage in combat aircraft, and already surrounded by US allies, and military assets. Ultimately, China don't have enough nuclear weapons to destroy enough US military bases to prevent effective retaliation.

Again, you are not paying attention to logistics. America has to get its military aircraft to China and then once there China has an overwhelming array of surface to air missiles it can deploy from its own territory. The fact that you had to say "China don't have enough nuclear weapons to destroy enough US military bases to prevent effective retaliation" proves the reason the US will not invade Myanmar. We are not going to get into a nuclear conflict over the conditions in another country, especially a conflict where we are seen as the aggressor. China has an estimated 300+ nuclear warheads; potentially more, and missiles that are more than capable of delivering them anywhere in the US mainland. My point is that China will not cower in fear and do nothing if the US invades Myanmar, the fact that you think they will is mind boggling.

  > China has an overwhelming array of surface to air missiles False, China has at most 10 long to medium range air defence regiments, most near its capital. For everything else, China's SAMs are outranged even by glide bombs. > China has an estimated 300+ nuclear warheads; potentially more That's obviously not enough to blunt even a quarter of US military potential, even if they have many times the number of missiles, or can launch them all in a surprise attack.

    Friend, lets assume everything you said is correct. Is your advice really that the US risk absorbing 300+ nuclear missiles to send a message on the treatment of people in Myanmar? It defies logic and is very much removed from both reality and the will of the US population.
