Anyway, it seems such a war would be terrible.
Likely, a million or more dead in Asia right off.
At least 1 Atomic bomb set off in or near a US city.
Maybe an EMP attack that smashes all the electric things over a multi-state area. Imagine no power for months (including all backup systems in hospitals, etc.), so no water coming out of the pipes. Your car will not start. The roads are blocked by stalled cars. All the tow trucks don't run. You can't get into a grocery store. You can't get money out of a bank for months. Etc.
This would lead to millions of dead Americans from thirst and starvation.
Some links, copied from that thread.

I'm not sure if others have another thread about this here.
It seems like a terrible idea to me.
