China will hack our electric grid - then take down the internet - then do whatever the hell they want. And the media will blame it on TRUMP.
They certainly have both the will and the capability to do just that.
I was listening to Steve Bannon’s “The War Room” the other day, and he had a guest on who was a specialist in Chinese affairs, and he said that the kinds of disruptions we saw with Facebook and some other entities the other day were exactly the same kind of thing we would see on a far larger scale in the opening of a war, even if only against Taiwan.
That, coupled with the massive airspace intrusions into the Taiwan defense zones that the Chicoms have been over the last week or so makes me very nervous, indeed.
In my opinion, if that doesn’t concern someone, they are either not schooled in modern warfare, or simply not paying attention.
I read a book recently, one of the most impactful I have read in years called “Stealth War: How China Took Over While America’s Elite Slept” by Gen. Robert Spalding (Ret.) who got fired from his job because of his vocal opposition to allowing Huawei or any other Communist Chinese entity to participate in, supply, or even build the growing 5G network in the United States and the rest of the world.
The man is to be respected (one of the first cream of the crop pilots chosen to fly the B-2) and became an expert on China, learning the language and spending several years in China...”studying” for a degree at a Chinese University. He became the Cyber-Advisor for the JCS and National Security Team, and was fired for being outspoken.
He knows what the Chicoms are all about, what they are capable of, and understands they should not be dismissed or underestimated due to a lack of planning or will.
