The other issue about this sabotage that concerns me is the fact that this information wasn't made to the public until almost 1 1/2 years after the fact.

IIRC, we heard about it the next day in Silicon Valley, is that what you recall Vendome?

Well those of us who weren't directly involved by home or business in Silicon Valley
didn't learn of the cause or seriousness of the attack on the sub-station
until 1 1/2 years later when the matter became public in a government report.

It was the next day and that particular substation is patrolled 24x7

A war with China would turn into a World War—But that doesn’t mean it will go Nuke. Just as poison gas was not used in battle in WW II so too nukes would not be used in WW III.
A war with China would be a mostly naval with land fighting in India and Vietnam (and possibly Korea ) It might have a European theater with Russia moving west to crush Germany/Nato. USA would be busy in the pacific defending Japan. Unlike WW II I don’t think the Allies will win this time.
