That is not happening.
I hope you're right.
What happens if 10,000 military aged Chinese men take out thousands of high voltage/high current substation transformers, not made anywhere but the PRC, 6 month to multi year manufacture times?
No power, lights go out, no power, water doesn't get pumped, no power, no gas in the nat gas pipelines, no power, no available gasoline or diesel fuel deliveries, no trucking, no food.
Will the fine folk in Boston, NYC, Chicago, LA, etc. just sit quietly in the dark and starve or freeze?
Or will the country side be the unwilling host to a plague of city locusts?
Takers vs Makers.
Who wins?
Maybe China?
10,000 PLA troops, en masse?
That’s a nice fantasy.
That is not happening.
