So what counts as space warfare then?

Weaponisation of space?

Both countries have death stars hidden behind Jupiter. Hey, if China want to be part of the spa e race then let them.

I bet it was a little awkward when they crossed orbits...

 

[stopper]

I'm having trouble believing that.

you are not alone there, but then again we are reading a passage from The Daily Telegraph

The literal 'weaponisation' of space is highly unlikely in the foreseeable future, but the prospect of shooting down satellites has absolutely massive strategic implications.

Just imagine the havoc shooting down a major military comms satellite or a number of GPS positioning satellites could cause, not to mention the impact of orbiting debris on other satellites

You won't be complaining when America stops terrorists from nuking the moon.

 

[godinman]

Hopefully if they do have a bit of a war we'll be able to keep out of it. Don't fancy being americas side-kick when china starts nuking everything in sight. (Yes, I have very little knowledge of world politics).

 

[Darkstaruk]

They're afraid of all countries with power even their own allies.

The way our military is going we would be hard pressed to conquer the Isle of Wight.

We have a joint EU military don't we? Pretty damn powerfull too, I doubt the US or China would ever dare attack it.

 

[Tefal]

AMERICA, WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE

people who don't want their astronauts and satellites ripped to pieces by debris from botches anti satellite missile tests?

 

[suj999]

I want to shoot down some stuff in space..

Field, gun.......

Yeah poor China, I mean it is not like they oppress and massacre their own people now is it?

 

[Deific]

China would batter America, especially seeing as they're allied with North Korea. I doubt there's any truth in the article at all though - but there's no way the US would ever threaten china with military action.

Joint EU Military? Well we have a deal with the French to use their Aircraft Carriers. I don't believe the EU has a joint military though.

 

[wildman]

china would kick america's ass back to the dark ages in a military conflict. They couldn't handle a few jungle boys back in Nam so I highly doubt they would be capable of taking on the authoritarian might of the Chinese Peoples Military forces

Destruction is much much easier than occupation.

Military conflict won't happen because both sides would get completely destroyed.

 

[Darkstaruk]

I had no idea China's military was such a threat hmm maybe they could beat the US? I think it would be a matter of who sides with who.

I think the EU would be helping the Americans our combined forces would make us unstoppable.

I think we look at numbers too much, who has the most advanced military?
