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.
Some might, but most only care about what affects them personally.
The only people wishing for America’s demise are sitting in Washington Dc and they are turning America over to a world governing body. Our country is being destroyed and dismantled on the inside and we are letting it happen.
Haven’t you noticed how patriots are now called “terrorists”?
“4 of the 5 Pacific states already HATE the USA and would happily welcome full on commies to invade and occupy.”
Constantly confusing major metro areas with states, each of which has large conservative areas. Never learns.
Maybe, but an EMP on a wide scale has never been tried or tested before, determining how it’s going to work is guess work at this point.
The point still stands, taking out as much infrastructure as possible is one sure way to demoralize the American Public in th event of an attack on the USA.
That’s true. Wasn’t wishing it, just suggesting Brandon act like his racist predecessors for all the world to see.
Oh, wait. Socialist Democrats can’t possibly be racist! They’re pure as the driven snow! *SMIRK*
We don’t need to go to war. We need to end China’s trade privileges.
That’s no surprise. We have an extremely weak imposter for a President . We can’t have peace through strength as we are no longer strong. Giving so much equipment to Ukraine, promoting equality , wokeness etc has taken its toll .
What are they going to attack with? This isn’t 1940. They have no guns because only their army is allowed guns. OK so they have 2 1/2 million army guys with guns, we have 3-400 million. Beachhead? Where? With what?
The realities of modern warfare leave very few options. USA vs CHINA isn’t going to look anything like Russia/Ukraine. I assure you it starts with EMPs and space warfare and goes from there. After EMPs your pretty close to all out nuclear war and nobody wins. We’re already in a financial war, frankly it makes more sense to just continue that until somebody loses or gives up or whatever happens.
They are purposely giving all our military equipment to Ukraine so as to weaken us beyond safety levels, so CHINA will be the Big Dog for the next 2 or 3 centuries.................
They better think again; it would only PISS OFF REAL AMERICANS and would unite us!
EMP is way overrated as a threat.
“I kill YOU!”
“we really are as a nation despite our faults somehow the recipient of a benevolent Divine Providence.”
It is God’s choice to remove it. Given our nation is pushing other nations to expand abortion, gay marriage, and fornication; I wouldn’t count on it not being withdrawn and given to our enemies.
Sorry, this isn't the 1940s. I don't think a majority would get upset, they would sit there and say we deserved it.
It’s the work of The Mule (Asimov, 2nd Foundation).
They are not promoting equality. They are promoting equity, which is effectively the opposite of equality.
The question is, after China briefly goes nuclear, how long until the radiation-burnt Chinese survivors themselves find Xi's rathole, string him up a la Ceaușescu, and then promptly sue for peace.
Rest assured the bombing of American liberal cities will raise up an looters unstoppable except by death (by radiation or bullets) thus justifying by the Left prolonged martial law, turning the in-dig- nation into a dictatorship. True Christians go underground, many literally.
How about the alleged Chinese military camps to the north of us.
