U.S. Army Secretary Christine Wormuth predicted that if China got into a "major war" with the U.S. the Communist-led country would attack the American homeland.
"The United States homeland would be at risk as well with both kinetic attacks and non-kinetic attacks – whether it's cyberattacks on the power grid or on pipelines," Wormuth said Monday at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.
Kinetic military action is a euphemism for active warfare, including the use of lethal force, according to Politico. Non-kinetic action includes soft force such as diplomacy and cyberspace operations.
Wormuth also said the Chinese attacks would be used to lower U.S. morale.
"They are going to go after the will of the United States public," she said. "They're going to try to erode support for a conflict."
China-U.S. relations appear to be further deteriorating – amid recent concerns about the Chinese Communist Party spying with over North American with surveillance balloon and its possible military support of Russia in its war on Ukraine.
>> Unify the American people? Not a chance.
One is an American or a Democrat — not both
We need to continuously improve preemptive strike and defense capabilities and make sure that those programs are well funded.
lol
Then the Chinese dont know SQUAT about America, an attack on the mainland would be the ONLY thing that would unite this country against someone!
Not necessarily.
We aren’t the same country we were on 12/7/41. Not by a long shot.
Duh.
That was Fauxi, Bammy, and the Jihad Junta.
EVERY West Coast port is controlled by democrat commies. Everything west of I5 would welcome the Chinese
Yes, but now our enemies haves nukes too. Kind of a game changer.

Those sitting in DC and the voters who put them there.
“Everything west of I5 would welcome the Chinese”

She started out as an intern, has hung around the defense department and defense consultants her whole life. Never came close to the military much less serving in it. Has no actual body of expertise, as evidenced by her finding it noteworthy that if a major war breaks out with China, China would attack us back. duh.
Nor is war fare
This time, the elites will all be hiding in their bunkers while the rest of us fry!
Yes, and all those extra ballots without a face that put them there.
I think a “Major War” triggers a Civil War here.
Wow, that is a terrible thought. It is hard to imagine how awful that could be.
Before we take care of the Chinese invaders there is some reckoning that is needed here at home
Many of the millions invading us from the south would be a huge force to contend with.
