Doesn't look at all like they're targeting cities.

They are targeting major sub-stations.

Scobie substation in southern NH and the big one in southern Massachusetts, I forget the name of it.

It looks like they want to take out the canal between Lake Champlain, VT and the Hudson River, other than the US naval museum where the US Navy was founded in Whitehall, NY, I don't know what else is a target there.

Maybe Freepers familiar with the power infrastructure near some of the other dots can tell more.

By hitting the substations they are leaving the generating capacity intact, with easily replaceable (by the Chicoms as they make the huge transformers and switchgear need in big substations) infrastructure for afterwards.

If they win the war, they have their conquered country (us) back up and running quickly.

If they lose the war, they sell us the equipment.

is less to attack the fleet itself, than to attack the only two deep water ports capable of repair, refueling, and rearming

Ditto. Other than power infrastructure, looks like they are going after the shipyard in Maine, which produces destroyers.

Another proposal being floated is (although less likely) is to give President Obama the authority to raise the debt ceiling at his discretion, subject to a resolution of disapproval that would have to pass both houses of congress. Such a resolution would be a kabuki dance, passing in the House and failing in the Senate.

Why the new-found willingness to acquiesce in new debt?

Credible sources here in Washington have shared a chilling back-story that took place involving the President and congressional leaders of both parties as the clock ticked down to the Treasury running out of cash earlier last month. It seems that more than one creditor nation, led by the Chinese, indirectly telegraphed a willingness to take very draconian measures in response to a ‘debt default’ – apparently even if coupon payments were made on outstanding debt owed to them. Those measures were set to go way beyond being financial, and were said to be credible in nature.

At least one senior Republican scoffed at the threat, but relented when briefed by (at least nominally) non-political figures in the national security community. That explains why, in part, the whole stand-off ended with a whimper and not a bang.

The implication? The country is far deeper down the rabbit hole of debt than most fathom. The current paradigm has moved one step closer to the end game. We are no longer masters of our own fate.

From: Another Debt Showdown coming in Washington next year? Don’t bet on it.

Thanks for the ping. I think it’s going to be a horserace to see if our nation can survive the duration of Obozo’s term.

Go in any store in America.

Pick up the item, on any shelf.

You will find a “Made in China” sticker.

We need to bring back American jobs. Now.

...everyone knows that when the revolution is over you purge the revolutionaries because they know how to make revolution. Too dangerous to have around, you know.

Also,they know where the bodies are hidden...

[AppyPappy]

I’m not worried about The Russkies or the Chinese. I’m worried about the Welfare zombies.

This kind of talk would never take place if we had a real POTUS in charge.

I'm worried about the Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, zombies, liberal elites and Biden. Not necessarily in that order...

The Russians will hit the cities in the midwest and on the east coast.

Comforting to know we have Obozo in the WH at this time in history more worried about helping our enemies bring us down from within. They won’t have to fire a shot.
