When did China get nukes? Would the Soviets have retaliated? I'm just wondering if nuking North Korea would've been that bad.
64 and 67.Don't know if The Soviets would have retaliated but I doubt it. Even though China had nukes their program was still new and small and no where near ready for nuclear war against the 25,000 nukes The US had at the time.China didn't back down when defending North Korea before so that might not have deterred them though.
