We are not assuming a world wide nuclear war. Perhaps you should have read the continuation of my post you quoted....
The destruction China faces will be 0.15% in the
first wave of strikes while we can retaliate with a casualty of 33% reduction in the population of US. What follows is irrelevant as after that it is most likely to be a nuclear holocaust. There will be a lot many people in China who'll survive compared to in American in the unlikely advent of a full scale nuclear war between US and China. The geography of both countries, blast radius of a conventional fission or fusion nuclear bomb and effects of winds on nuclear radiation fallouts would ensure the effect.

The US stance on the Iraq war changed after their apparent no-win situation. I guess they Bush and his team should have heeded our advice, but their ego and enmity with Russia and China didn't let them. And the American people were partly responsible for the current situation by first electing a despot to power and second, worse by re-electing him.
Talking about a massive war, a war between US and China is not going to happen because of political, economic, military and demographic reasons. From a political point of view, unlike Iraq this war isn't going to be one sided and will quickly escalate to a nuclear war causing devastation for both countries and maybe others too. It will then make World War 2 look like a bus accident.

Where I am, is quite irrelevant to the topic, even if the fact that you are wrong is ignored.
