Sure, it would hurt the Chinese, and it would destroy the United States.
China would lose 1.5 trillion dollars over night or about $1000 for each Chinese citizen. It would entirely bankrupt this nation, and we're currently in debt at $30,000 for each man, woman, and child in this nation.
China can afford it, we can't. You dipshits don't know what position the US is in, yet. You'll find out.

I now realize the intelligence that whenever we have a conflict anywhere on the planet, it's absolutely essential to setup a permanent base there forever, regardless of the cost or usefulness of it.
Praise the Lord, I now see the light due to your sharp wit and concise thinking on the subject.

You don't answer questions and you pose the most absurd hypotheticals without backing up your conclusion with anything but a disclaimer about your not knowing the answers.

Why should the US be paying for Europe's defense?
Should Europe be paying for our defense? Why or why not?
