I just can’t imagine them caring that much about the US, since we’re pretty powerless and they seem to be angrier at Russia and China right now.
However, it’s true that little groups of Middle Easterners have been stopped all over the US while scoping out dams...and IIRC, after 9/11, it appeared that some of that group of terrorists had been looking at dams.
I’m wondering if there is any connection with that recent power station attack in California. I wonder if there’s something here they could plow into with this plane that would take out our electrical or communications grid.
To me, this seems like a much more technical, military and high-tech hijacking than 9/11. So maybe they’re not after a big statement, but after a major devastating effect.
Just some thoughts.
USA? Hoover Dam for the AllSpark.
A goodly chunk of the electrical power for the southwest, and coordinated with a couple minor attacks on the California Aqueduct no drinking water for the greater Los Angeles area.
But Three Gorges is closer, would affect even more people, and would strike a blow for the Uyghurs.
Besides, unlike the occupier of the White House, the Chinese PM isn’t an active supporter of the most radical islamist side in any conflict world wide.
