China sends “nuclear message” for the United States!

[Statistical]

8. No. Not really.

The US far outspends China on military spending and also has a habit of using those shiny new toys in foreign adventures so honestly China should be more worried about the US (although nuclear powers simply do not go to war).

Bombers are essentially obsolete in the modern age which is why the AF has slowly reduced the number of B-52s about 90% from their peak. We keep a few around but honestly no nuclear war is going to be won or lost due to strategic bombers.

ICBMs (and SLBMs) are more than capable of providing a MAD deterrent and neither the US or China has a shortage of those. Of course you can't wave your dick around with an ICBM. They just sit there quiet in the silo for decades awaiting the order which will end the world as we know it.

Simple version: ICBMs are how the world will end. Bombers are a way to look tough. If China is flying around bombers well that is a good sign.
