      Are people actually expecting China to shoot her out of the sky?

      I think it's more likely China puts up some sanctions.

        Nobody is expecting anything were all more just horrified at the infinitely awful possibilities and the fact that if this did lead to nuclear war we're all fucking helpless to prevent it

        More like desperately thirsty for China or anyone, to shoot her out of the sky, or even just same but hold the sky
