China’s nuke BLITZ on the US: ’12 Million’ to die on dawn of WW3 – Daily Star

NUCLEAR war between the US and China would turn the West Coast of America into an uninhabitable wasteland killing at least 12 million people.

Tensions are broiling between the US and China as relations plunge over the South China Sea and a potential trade war.

US President Donald Trump and Chinese premier Xi Jinping shared their first phone-call this week, but there fears remain as military forces flood into the Pacific.

Daily Star Online can now reveal the chilling reality of the US and China clashing in World War 3.

An inside view of the Chinese military over 120 years.

One JIN nuclear submarine could cause the destruction of five million to 12 million people

Cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle and San Diego have all been chillingly identified as potential targets by Chinas state mouthpiece.

A report to the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) reveals details of the Chinese nuclear plan published in state-run newspaper the Global Times.

The column identifies soft targets along the West Coast as the prime strike points for a nuclear attack from China should war flare with the US.

Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego are all identified by name as potential targets for Beijings nuclear missiles with a death toll identified of 12 million.

It was published to coincide China first unveiled their Jin class submarine known for its distinctive hump which hides an arsenal of 12 nukes.

China last year dispatched their nuclear deterrent submarines into the Pacific for the first time as tensions flared with the US.

The JIN submarine is believed to have enough range to attack the US from the well-defend waters around China.

Chinese military commanders plan to use the JIN as a second strike vessel designed to hit back should a preemptive attack be launched on China.

Each vessel carries 12 JL-2 missiles which carry warheads with blast yield of up to 1,000 kilotons each 66 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki by the US to end World War 2.

Chilling maps in Global Times show as many as five nuclear weapons could be dropped on Los Angeles on the dawn of war.

It said: One JIN nuclear submarine could cause the destruction of five million to 12 million people, forming a very clear deterrent effect.

There is not a dense population in the United States midwest region, so to increase the destructive effect, the main soft targets for nuclear destruction in the United States will be the main cities on the west coast, such as Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego.

The USCC warned congress about the dangers posed by the Jin in their annual 2016 report seen by Daily Star Online.

It said: The Jins JL2 submarine-launched ballistic missile is armed with a nuclear warhead with an assessed range of 4,474 mi far enough to strike the continental United States depending on the location of the launch.

War fears have peaked as the Peoples Liberation army published statement saying conflict between the US and China is now a practical reality.

The USCC's conclusion: "Despite cooperation on several areas of mutual interest and the continued expansion of security ties, U.S.-China relations over the past year continued to be strained."

We live in turbulent times. Trump has the keys to nuclear weapons, and could end work to prevent climate change. Putin is looming in the East, the far-right are on the rise in Europe and Kim Jong-un is developing nuclear weapons of his own. Is this the END of days?

Before his inauguration, Donald Trump asked a security expert three times during a briefing, why the US couldn't use nuclear weapons after he becomes president.

US Navy commanders have warned China is preparing for war on the US as satellite imagery revealed preparations for a preemptive strike on bases in the Pacific.

China has repeatedly slammed new US President Donald Trump as being inexperienced and warned him over provoking the Asia-Pacific powerhouse.

Trumps righthand man Steve Bannon predicted war with China over the South China Sea in five to ten years.
