You definitely will see chinese on your shores if you dont remain part of Nato. US,Canada UK and others are the founding members of Nato. You are as much a part of Nato as we are. Nato Alliance was formed after WW2 to counter the Communist threat to Democracy. The first cold war battle was the Berlin airlift against USSR right after the end of WW2. Should have listened to Patton. China isn’t coming on our shores the same reason Japan didn’t during World War 2. They know there will be a gun behind every rock and tree. That and they don't have a blue water navy with anything one functional air craft and well where the heck are they actually goin to be able to drop anchor and disembark??

The guns you own are useless against army weaponry.

Lots of hinterland there-not much of that in the USA.Pretty small landmass in comparison.

I'm sure the Russians where saying the same thing when some p'ed off Chechen was throat shotting them with .22lr's sporting guns ( to the point the Russians actually developed a .22lr dmr deal for urban work). or what we said when some goat herder in flipflops would stall a whole platoon by popping one guy with a old Lee Enfield from the side of a mountain. Or you know how some random Iraqi with $30 worth of copper sheeting ,random wiring a old cellphone some fertilizer and chuck of steel pipe could make a Shaped Charge IED that could blast though a half million dollar up armored MRAP.
Yeah no Billy Bob is gonna have a hay day using that random box of API in that 50 cal he had "just for fun"

When they know they will not lose access to the Black Sea, which they would potentially lose if Ukraine joined NATO, as suggested by our brain dead VP and triggered the move.

With all the natural resources and what not we have ,what would be the point in using a nuke ? Especially with the risk of mutual destruction? Neither Putin nor Sniffy have a bright future in politics and are past their sell by date.

So few people really know about real nuclear weapons and nuclear war fighting strategies but its not surprising given what has been fed to them over many decades.
First of all, most people in the combatant nations, let alone the world, aren't going to be "vaporized" by the heat of a detonation unless there is a total city busting campaign by one or both sides. Vaporizing heat of direct weapon effects is closest to the denotation point. The blast wave has greater range and killing potential but its still limited by distance and to some aspect, the lay of the land, especially in an urban area. Will get to fallout radiation in a bit but direct weapons radiation exposure generally would occur within the high heat or high blast wave areas so most people wouldn't die from that effect but one or the others just mentioned.
News flash for the "megaton" heads, very few of those weapons are currently on anyone's missiles. A couple of reasons why, one nuclear physics don't work in an exponential way when comparing yields vs direct weapons effects area extent. A 20 megaton warhead isn't going to have a 1,000x more high heat and blast wave distance as a 20 kiloton weapon, Sorry to disappoint, it just isn't going to happen. I can't remember the exact distance increase that big megaton weapons do for direct weapons effects but its surprising not that much, maybe 3x or maybe more but no way hundreds of times greater spread. The second reason why there are few megaton weapons out there is that MIRVing changed things a lot. What's better in a war fighting operation, launching a missile with 1 meagton or larger warhead or launching a missile with 3 to 10 warheads?? I believe Minuteman III carried (ies) 3- 200 kilo range weapons, Peacekeeper 10 warheads and Trident II 10 warheads as well. Most are at max 300 kilos a piece, probably smaller.
Ok, "fallout". It is different than direct weapon effect radiation release that happens near detonation zone. Fallout are materials that has become radioactive, such as soil, concrete, whatever that has come in close contact with a detonating device, such as missile silo busters, deep command busters, etc and then comes back to the ground at a later date farther away. The "best" way to "kill" cities is with air bursts at an optimal height and as such these detonations don't cause fallout. As someone who lived with 150 U.S. missile silos 200-350 miles (more beyond that depending on the wind directions) west of me, I used to worry about the real threat of fallout a lot. But the Minuteman IIs are no more, so except for the 2-3 bases that still have Minuteman IIIs and the 1-2 bases that has Peacekeeprs, there are far fewer U.S. dug in land based missile silos that would take near ground hits to take them out. The "fallout" threat in the U.S. is much less now than what it would have been say in the 1980s through sometime in the late 1990s.
Then there is the "nuclear winter" theory and other long lasting issues that I won't address.
With all this said, would millions of people die in a massive nuclear exchange between NATO and Russia (and maybe the Chinese), yes, probably, especially if all out attacks are done mostly on metropolitan areas. That would be bad juju SO DON'T DO IT!! But the idea that most of humanity would die in a day to a year or so later is not realistic. Not even really close...

I would relish a chance to wade some of those Chinese communist into the beaver swamp.
