If they can exhaust all their firepower in a couple weeks fighting Iran, China would have no reason to feel threatened in the first place.

The reality is that fighting China would be a proper all-out war, not whatever this spitting match with Iran is.

The reality is that fighting any country with a decent military has to be all-out war. We should have plenty of precision missiles left today because they should have been used only to clear the way for runs with "dumb" bombs. A war with China would be the same, it can never be fought from a distance with primarily $1m+ precision surface to surface missiles.

Of course I only mean if the war was necessary to fight at all, I don't believe it was.

There won't ever be an "all out war" of nuclear states with each other. Only via proxies.

Are you openly saying the president and the secretary of war are lying when they say they have done "massive" bombings of Iran?
