That’s funny.
IT’s not that hard to find ships at sea:

After Desert Storm there was an un-claimed container sitting on the dock in LA. Customs decided to inspect it. They opened it and found an array of missiles pointed at them.
Customs requested the army come and remove their container.
A pre-planned, widespread surprise attack is exactly what China is preparing for. A Mexican journalist, who was chased out if Mexico, also alleged Chinese and Russian special forces are stationed in Mexico amongst the NARCOs for just such an eventuality. The drug kingpins he interviewed were openly Marxist and pro-China and Russia.
If we were aware of this problem in 2004, we certainly are aware of it now.

General Clark made the comment many years ago that when the Chinese were given the contract to run the Panama Canal by the Panamanians that missiles in shipping containers could reach US cities in under one minute. There would be no defense against that threat. He was called crazy back then, not so crazy today.
I see the Sun reads Dale Brown novels too.
Hey! It worked for Joe Stalin, didn’t it? 🤣
This would be great for the Chinese IF their ships could get into port HOWEVER right now their ships are sitting in the ocean hope they weren’t planning this attack anytime soon!!!
The rest of the world will fall in line.
Everyone likes the strong horse.
They are pretty much not using it now.
American cities sprawl, sometimes as far as 80 miles out.
Seems like I have seen and read about a scenario such as this on Clancy’s Red Storm Rising and a Video Game Program “World in Conflict”. where the Chinese PLA were loaded on to Cargo Ships where they arrived in ports in Seattle and Suddenly began attacking with attack helicopters and Amphibious Armored Units.
In Clancy’s Red Storm Rising the Russians attacked Iceland via the Same method,except in that case they used Hovercraft carrying a Battallion of Infantry to take out the U.S. Air Force base there.
I put nothing past Joe Bidens friends.Russian or Chinese and I fear for this country’s safety with the Idiots who we have running our U.S. Military.
“A pre-planned, widespread surprise attack is exactly what China is preparing for.”
An attack on the mainland US would result in their certain destruction. No matter the POTUS.
China's Generals are playing to win...our General Austin's team is trying to please the sexual weirdos' lobby in the United States...
Club K containers. Can carry nuclear, chemical, or biological warheads. Take 6 seconds to activate and launch. Can reach any city in the US in minutes from any harbor or offshore.
They can also move the Club K systems on barges up rivers.

“Military analysts believe the country’s huge fleet of freighters and fishing vessels could be turned into warships with the use of the secretive container missiles.”
Recently China has been testing civilian ferries as military transport ships. They could be useful in case of Taiwan invasion. But I don’t believe in this one. The real warships require much more than missiles.
It was completely detrimental to the German war effort.
Your point is well made about dealing with dangerous dictators.
There were numerous different air fields, bases, cities, kasernes, Autobahns that I had personally been to. It sort of pulled the entire NATO strategy together. I loved that book.
