Cuba might have a big enough army? To be honest and thinking about it. That was major big storm!! The size of the gulf with more power than most nations have. A country would have to go nuclear to do that much damage.
Plus there would be no confusion about chain of command if shots were fired by another country.
Sadly, if China did attack our mainland, the response would have to get real ugly quick. So not having a bigger armed force means that we have to turn to our technology and big weapons sooner. That includes nuclear.
Some fool president shipped the technology to China to deliver weapons to our shores accurately. Maybe that will be his legacy. Hint, it wasn't Bush.
