扒车喵在知名问答论坛网站quora上，一名日本网友问道：“随着中国综合实力的日益增长，日本感受到的压力越来越大，美国究竟有没有能力摧毁中国？发生战争后美国的盟友会不会参与进来？”一位美国专家感到这个问题非常荒谬而可笑，写了一篇文章回应了他。
日本网友的提问
You are quite the comedian. “Crush China???” Apparently, you have zero knowledge about China’s military capability.
你是在搞笑吗？毁灭中国？很明显，你对中国的军事力量一无所知。
And might I remind you that USA lost the war in Afghanistan after 20 years, $2.26 trillion, and thousands of American lives…to a bunch of goat herders armed with AK-47s?
我得提醒你们这些战争狂热分子，美国刚刚输了阿富汗战争，花费了2.26万亿美元，死了几千名士兵…..然后被一群手持AK—47的牧羊人赶了回去。
After so much time and expense, USA managed to replace the Taliban with…the Taliban! Way to go, Yanks.
花了这么长时间，造了这么多钱，美国终于用……..塔利班取代了塔利班，美国政府，真是一把好手，全是卧龙凤雏。
China has the second largest and most powerful military on the planet. It isn’t far behind USA.
中国拥有世界第二大实力的军事力量，而且并不比美国差多少。
China already has the world’s largest navy by number of ships. China has the world’s largest army.
中国已经拥有世界上最多的海军舰艇数量，他们拥有世界上规模最大的军队。
China is the world’s second biggest military spender after USA.
中国是世界第二大军费支出国，仅次于美国。
2020年各国军费支出
And China is a major nuclear power. She has, as far as we know, 350 nuclear warheads and a “triad” delivery system. Some experts suggest China may have many more than 350 nukes.
同时，中国是一个核大国。据公开数据资料，他们拥有350枚核弹头，具备“三位一体”全天候核打击能力，一些专家根据两年前国庆阅兵武器展示情况，估计中国所拥有的核武器规模远超于此。
But it only takes 50–100 nukes in a retaliatory strike to complete devastate America…
· wipe out dozens of cities
· kill tens of millions of Americans
· create vast radioactive wasteland that’s uninhabitable for centuries
· erase the country’s industrial and technological base
· create total anarchy
但报复性打击只需要50-100枚核武器就能彻底摧毁美国…它们可以：
· 摧毁数十座大城市
· 杀死数亿美国人
· 造成巨大的放射性荒地，这里将寸草不生
· 消除该国的工业和科技基础
· 社会呈无政府状态，一片混乱与动荡
Meanwhile, China’s population is 4X larger. China will survive as much as America will.
而与此同时，中国人口是美国的四倍多，相互打击过后，尽管遭受灭顶之灾，中国还会继续生存下去。
In other words, we are talking about MAD (mutually assured destruction). Nobody wins in this scenario.
换句话说，我们谈论的是MAD（确保相互摧毁）。在这种情况下，几乎不可能有赢家。
And, by the way, if USA were to detonate its 1,700 nuclear weapons, it would wipe out mankind. It would bring on “nuclear winter.”
顺便说一句，如果美国引爆1700枚核武器，它将消灭人类。它将带来不可逆转的“核冬天”。
What a great historical legacy for the United States of America.
这样，美国就会在剩余人类的唾骂中“青史留名”了。
In this case, the allies of the United States cannot protect themselves, let alone help.They may betray the United States. After all, national interests and survival are the first priority.
在这种情况下，美国的盟友自身难保，更不要说出手帮忙了。极端点，他们可能会反水对抗美国，毕竟国家利益和生存是第一要务。
In addition, you mentioned that Japan is under pressure from China to bring the two great powers together, and I don’t think the relationship between the United States and Japan has reached that point.
另外，你提到日本受到中国的压力就要让两个大国同归于尽，我看美日两国的关系还没有好到那个程度。
