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 the Chinese attack the contiguous US, IMHO the NFA and every subsequent unconstitutional arms law is null & void.
How badly I wish that were true. Then, the majority of our nation’s people had a moral compass and faith in the future of our country. Now, well, looking around, I’d hazard to say that’s not the case. At all. I would predict a good number, and some of them well-armed, would join in any fight against the United States. I don’t like thinking like this, but I cannot deny that I see what I see on a daily basis. We have a great number of internal enemies who are capable of doing great harm, particularly in the mass (?) media.
There’s a rifle behind every blade of grass...
Army getting people ready for a false flag event. China has to know that their best offense is continued support of traitors within. The one sure way to get every liberal granny begging for a chance to get her approved double barrel issued to go kill a chinaman is to openly start a conflict that way.
The EMP threat is WAY overrated.
the first casualties of that war would be the US party elites... then we’d take care of the chinese.
Our war mongering leaders don’t care, apparently the collapse of the Western financial ponzi system is imminent if we were to allow China & Russia to implement their plan for an alternative currency. The writing is already on the wall, they WANT WW3, and will use Taiwan to provoke China just as we used Ukraine to provoke Russia. Contrary to what some may think this is no conspiracy, our neocons are actively leading us into WW3 intentionally. Only strong public backlash both here and in Europe is the only thing that can stop them.
All the food, cosmetics, supplements and pharmaceuticals the US gets from China will be loaded with poison and pathogens.
Agree.
Doing Nucear War on somebody could certainly impact one’s morale....
Biden is already their WMD...Weapon of Morale Destruction. Given the choice to live under him vs Xi, it’s a coin flip. Same prison, different warden.
If China nuked San Fran off of the map while Pelosi was getting her hair done would I be demoralized or strangely neutral? Then again, if they nuked San Fran would anyone be able to tell the difference?
Every day I hope the left don’t go any deeper into stupidity..
They do... that is the most depressing part...
They are messing with Russia/Putin.
They are taking sides when it has nothing to do with our country and our border.
They are spending/giving us into debt as never before.
They are the least knowledgeable and the least able of any administration EVER!
They are an embarrassment
They are anti God and that spells trouble.
And there is more... but you already know the more
Be pro-active, Brandon! Start building internment camps now for Chinese Nationals living in America. I mean, it’s what Socialist Democrat Presidents do best!
We’re so screwed. :(
Lower our morale? Not necessary, our government’s got
that pretty much covered, doing a damn good job of it.
We are very fortunate in the choice of our enemies or we really are as a nation despite our faults somehow the recipient of a benevolent Divine Providence.
“When your Army secretary is named Christine, you are not ready for a war with China.”
^^THIS!^^
You’re making me tear up. I miss President in Exile Trump so much some days that it HURTS!
Why should China risk a single one of their People’s Liberation peasants’ lives when they are slowly winning against us in every category?
There may come a day when we would relish a fight rather than weakly whimper in the corner.
We had our chance under Trump. He called it like it was—the Chinese Wuhan Flu—and was eviscerated as a horrible racist for doing so. Imagine actually killing Chinese! That would be worse than slavery racist!
Face it, for the benefit of Fauci’s and big Pharma’s wallet, the West gave up to China, raised the white flag, lost 7 million people to Covid, not even including how many more millions have/will die because of the jab, and just this week, Biden’s Department of Energy (!!??) comes out with a “low confidence” report that the Covid-19 virus accidentally escaped from a lab in Wuhan. “Accidently”? Like the Department of Energy’s Sam Brinton taking a woman’s suitcase? That kind of accident?
I see the whole thing as China will NEVER pay the price because of woke stupidity.
No, they won’t have to fire a single actual weapon; they already did right out of a petri dish.
Will be?.......................
