How exactly can you "decimate" someone in nuclear capability? The earth can only be destroyed (for purposes of supporting human life) once. US being able to destroy it five times over and China once doesn't really help in real life. It is not like you can trade one US nuke 1:1 to stop one China nuke.
That's easy: you destroy 1/10 of their forces.
If you mean anything else by using the term "decimate", you're using it wrong.
Modern uses of the word are simply wrong and nonsensical if you understand that "deci" means 10, which should be obvious to any competent English speaker who knows of the word "decimal" and understands our numbering system.
The only other entries in the disambiguation page are about signal processing and a comic book.
Oh, and that is not to mention that the original meaning of "decimate" was "tithe," not "kill on in ten soldiers."
"The word decimation is derived from Latin meaning "removal of a tenth"."
I like how buddy proves to you he's right, and you have the gall to act like you're right.
Besides, this argument is over pedantics. My original comment stands. China is weak compared to US. No war necessary, restructuring in favour of US WILL TAKE PLACE.
