I know little of these types of subjects, but it strikes me that China has been allowed TOO close. Parking containers within striking distance of DC for a purpose such as the article speaks of, first strike on the US.

Check out this link. It is also within the above story.

“Parking containers within striking distance of DC for a purpose such as the article speaks of, first strike on the US.”

You know, if they would restrict it to DC, and hit it with about 15 nukes, we could call that a win-win. The monuments are marble, we could scrub off the scorch marks.

Don’t forget Mehico. There are millions of Mehican patriots lurking around our country and inside our military just waiting for the clarion call to attack.

My biggest fear is that some damned continuity of government plan would actually work and about 2 or 3 weeks later, the DC SOBs would come crawling out of the rubble saying “Don’t worry people, your Federal government has survived and we are back in charge”.

First Russia should worry about beating Ukraine and China beating Vietnam

Satellites. ICBM’s. Computers. Cruise Missiles. Submarines. Aircraft Carriers. Jets. There hasn’t been a place to hide for nearly three-quarters of a century. Everyone, everyday, wakes, goes to work, lives on the battlefield. I don’t know what this guy is just waking up to...

Sorry, but I had to stop reading the article halfway through. The “threats” of AI, robotics, hyperweapons being unleashed upon the continental US applies ten-fold in the other direction. I agree that China has been allowed, even encouraged as long ago as the Clinton administration, to ‘catch up’ to us militarily. But the rest of the world is woefully vulnerable to the US. Our UAV capabilities alone allow us to strike enemies from distances and with weaponry that a generation ago was unimaginable. The idea that our high-performance aircraft are being lined up like it was a 1940 is laughable.

Never forget our Boomer subs armed with enough multiple target reentry vehicles (MIRVs). Just one of these subs can take out any nation on earth as a functional nation. We have many of these subs. These subs lurk in the depths of the oceans and beneath the arctic with but one mission which is to remain not detected until they rain nuclear hell on an enemy.

If each and every missile base and bomber on our homeland were taken out by a first strike, those subs would end the game. There would be no winners. Both sides would be destroyed.

No rational enemy will attack us as we will not attack an adversary such as Russia. There are no winners.

The ONLY way China or Russia could project power onto the Continental US is with missiles.

If the US sees incoming from either of those countries or their assets, it’s full-on nuclear war.

"New technologies enable Russia and China to destroy U.S. bases and logistics networks—including those on the homeland."

And, with the same probality: "If the moon was made of cheese, we could manufacture solar-system-sized pizza"...

Here's our two main communist enemies sitting there watching (for the past 6-decades) the U.S. slide further and further into communist tyranny (under the cover-name: "socialism")

45% of the population (based on the 2016 voting results) are died-in-the-wool communists already... What on Earth could possibly induce either China or Russia to destroy property that is gradually being handed to them free and clear...

Be like being the sole inheritor for someone whose house is full of art treasure that you want...So you burn the house to the ground while that someone is already on their deathbed...

Nuclear subs on patrol for the US months at at time. They have nowhere to hide either. Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) has been a potent deterrent for a long time. I don’t expect that to change anytime soon.
