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.
If you look at things going on around us you will think we re already under attack.
“Unify the American people? Not a chance.”
Fog of war...perfect time to settle some scores.
Their next tourist attraction would be The Great Hole of China........................
If China is smart they should save the missiles and just wait for us to turn ourselves into China. It’s been going pretty quickly lately and politicians don’t even really hide it much anymore.
Not seeing enough of a difference between the single party top down political systems of China and the USA. Is the tiny differwnce worth dying for?
>They’d have to go full EMP in which case they’d get a similar response.
If they were to attack the US population with an EMP strike then the Three Gorges Dam is a legitimate target.
That’s what I think will happen if China or any other country decides to attack the USA.
A conventional bombing or missile attack would for most of America be like Pearl Harbor, make the country as Roosevelt said, no matter the cost the country will win thru until ultimate victory.
Taking out the entire country in an EMP attack would be another case altogether.
Awesome!
Laughing at how dems always want gun control, but are able to drive demand with off-the-cuff rhetoric.
They have immense internal pressures - they probably *can’t* wait.
The CCP needs a high-intensity, high-casualty war to maintain their control over China - One Child has backfired in a huge way, and if they can’t bleed off their excess military age male population, they’re looking at the chances of a revolution removing them from power approaching unity.
How do we know she’s even a real woman and not some mentally deranged man?
“Wake the sleeping tiger”
The democrat 5th column is trying to disarm the tiger with all their assault weapons bans. Will make it easier for their Chinese comrades.
Just walk in across the southern border.
How does he know they aren’t here already? For all we know the Chinese military is here thanks to the Biden occupations welcoming mat at the border.
Be like a bee allergic kicking a wasp nest while naked. Won’t be long now.
A clue from the clueless
“Fog of war...perfect time to settle some scores.”
Riiiiiight.
“Fog of war...perfect time to settle some scores.”
Riiiiiight.
Well, thank God our Strategic Petroleum Reserve is capped off, full and safe...
and our grid protected
and our weapons, tanks and munitions at the ready - and the country’s flush with cash...
Another blessing? Our military’s run by the best and brightest and not by sexual weirdos and folks who got their jobs based on pigmentation and/or who their Daddy or Grandfather was...
We’ll be fine. /s
Two can play that game. I’m sure a boomer has this in memory.
