  Nukes are a bit useless against China. Russia can use up all their tactial/strategic nukes and still have to deal with a few hundred million people.   -I dont think so; China would be radio active dust there would be no hundreds of millions of Chinese left. Most of Chinese population is concentrated on the East China plan, near the coasts; a few hundreds bombs could in theory wipe out most of there population, nuclear winter and fall out would kill the rest in months.        I thinking getting European Russia nuked could destroy the Federation.   -True but Chinese ability to retaliate is lacking compared to the United States or even France; I am 98% sure China only has 25 long range ICBMs the are actually capable of hitting targets in America and European Russia.
