Total War: USA (pro) v (con) China.

I will begin my Opening arguments this round and my rebuttals shall come next round. Notice the above map as there we can see the US power grid. [1] With an EMP attack or even a severe Cyber Attack, of which China has been known to do, we can see that it would severely cripple the entire US. To make things worse if this were to occur the US would be on the brink of complete and utter ahilation since the US food stores have only one month's supply of food the entire west coast area would face starvation due to the lack of food. [2] This can be seen as a simple EMP blast from Chicago would reach places like Dallas, DC, Miami, and as far North as Winnapeg, and as far west as Salina, KS. It would only take China two pulsating missiles to of which the US anti-Missile defense will likely shoot down. The US has even claimed that they would be unable to track and detect the attack that would be coming, but for the point of the debate let's just say that it is shot down, but we can still see that a large area of the US would be affected by this issue. Such and attack would be utterly harm the United States as we can see that the US has food to only last for one month and after that the lack of food due to the harming of refridgeration and that the stores would run out of food would cause startving. Not to mention all the causlaties due to medical supplies failures and infrastructure failures. If this occurs in the US not only will they begin to starve, but they would be unable to fight the Chinese if/when they invade the US. To show just how bad US defenses are we can see that on July 4th, Russian nuclear bombers came within miles of the US West Coast to "Wish the US a happy birthday." [3] Now how about US missile defenses? We can actually see that the Current US Missile Defenses across the nation has yet to have a Technological upgrade since the 1980s. This is where they are still reliant on kinnetic Energy and a small group of Ground Based Interceptors (or GBIs for short). [4] Now this can shoot down missiles from North Korea, but would make it impossible to shoot down weaponry from China or Russia. After of before the EMP occurs the US's Missile Defense protection would be erroaded so fast that this would leave the US open to attack. Now you must be asking yourself what are all the dots and different colors mean? Why this is simply where the US nuclear Missiles are located. A simple reign of Tomahawk rockets at these locations would not only finish off the electrical grid, but would wipe out a large portion of the US population almost ending the war instantly. [5] For the debate I will assume that there's more to it than this so I will continue. China dumps the PetrodollarThe Chinese dump the dollar and the petrodollar. Due to this the Chinese are now accepting oil in Yuan and strikes a deal with OPEC of whom they already have standing relations with, who are likely to introduce the PetroYuan. This greatly affects the US currency and inflation and the value of the dollar drops as many OPEC nations are already concidering changing the dollar out for the Yuan. [6] This also crashes the US financial system here are interviews with US economists on the issue."It would be disastrous for our markets. All those excess dollars coming in, with bonds being sold, interest rates would spike. We have not seen a return of health to the banking system. So, the system is very vulnerable; and if the Russians carry through with their threat, you have, indeed, the risk of it collapsing the system.” China halts REM exports to US and allies 95% of the world's REM (Rare Earth Metals) supply belongs to China. China will start to crack down on REM exports to the US and allies mostly likely resulting in chaos. [7] You may think no big deal, but if it goes any further it will lead to US crackdown on China and with the US trying to put leverage on the US China will most likely do the same leading to an economic down of the US and then China then the world. Why is this you may ask? It is the fact that the US is entirely reliant on China and the fact that China is also too reliant on the US if one falls they both do. We currently use Rare Earth Elements to make electronics from the cell phone you have and your TV to military satellites. We get a lot of our Green technology from them to like pollution controls, LED light bulbs, and Hybrid cars. [8] Prices of REMs will have increased by well over 100%. China, who owns 95% of the world's REMs supply has begun to clamp down on the exports due to new environmental regulations and their new crack downs on illegal mining laws. There will be a 48% increase of demand of REMs by next year and the shortages of some of these key metals are not helping the prices. [8] Others show demands are expected to rise by 60% by next year due to increased demands in electronics and hybrid cars. China is shockingly going to start seeing some supply shortages themselves and will either have no choice to hike prices or stop exporting all-in-all. [9] Meaning that now the US isn't able to produce much technology and that the price of machinery skyrockets which already harm recovery efforts in the US. Although the US produces it in the US their own production isn't enough to actually satisfy much of the US needs. http://www.youtube.com... s://qph.is.quoracdn.net...; alt="" /> More than previously thought China has a great deal of allies ranging from Russia and India to Iran and Pakistan. [10] Any such war on the US will without a doubt lead to a Chinese and allies victory.Sources1. (http://www.geni.org...) 2. (http://www.empcommission.org...) 3. (http://www.cnn.com...) 4.
