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 there are any internment camps being built, they will be for people like us. Be careful what you pray for. You may get it. To people of Biden’s ilk, we, not the Communists are the enemies.

Christine Wormuth, zero background. Justa 53 year old political grifter.

That’s millions fewer people the Chinese government would need to worry about. I don’t think they would care if the dam was destroyed.

I’d expect nothing less. Russia,Iran and North Korea will jump on the band wagon. Nukes would not be needed.

4 of the 5 Pacific states already HATE the USA and would happily welcome full on commies to invade and occupy. Look at the four idiots of Cali, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington.
Straight up hardcore marxist communists. Hell, they would order the state “National Guard” to help the Chinese. Mexico will let them dock in Ensenada and Manzanillo. Canada will certainly let them dock in BC. If I were Xi I would do it today. Biden won’t do a thing but make sure the checks clear

“Everyone was a Republican after 911.”

Remember all the U.S. flags and unity after 911? The Swamp used that to quickly pass the Patriot Act that they had ready & waiting for such an opportunity.

“ They’ve already attacked us,with a Bio-weapon.🤨”

And we did nothing except cover for them (and try to rip off our own country with a fake vaccine).

The precedent doesn’t look too good.

If the Chinese attack the contiguous US, IMHO the NFA and every subsequent unconstitutional arms law is null & void. the Biden Regime will immediately surrender to them.

If they hit our Country they’d best be ready to ride the wave at the 3 Rivers Dam.

For starters, then we need to sink every single one of their ships. Military and Commercial.

Lastly we must have Military Tribunals to root out who took anything from them and punish it as Giving Aid & Comfort To The Enemy.

Attack on 3 gorges would kill millions of innocents..
Best to target the electrical distribution centers adjacent....and the electrical distribution at a group of nuclear powered generating power plants north if Shanghai.

Yes, it would. So would an EMP strike over the US.

3 gorges dam is 500 air miles from the coast. It is not an easy target.

When your army secretary is named Christine, you are not ready for a war with China.

Amen, and bears repeating !

If China did some military incursion here, they would all be dead in short order, unless they gave up.

Shooting practice, made real.

Rest assured the bombing of American cities will raise up an unstoppable army and return us to our nation’s moral indignation.

This guy is a genius. Do people think China (and Russia) are developing hypersonic missiles for the hell of it?

It opulent take many of those missiles, fired with some precision to split the supply line right down the middle. Knock out the major bridges across the Mississippi River and things get shaky for a while.

If the Chinese did invade at least I’d get to kill off a bunch of frustrations caused by dimocrats..pun intended.

Nothing will unify this country. Hell, damned near half of the populace cheers for America’s demise.
