America Should Be Prepared for a Surprise Attack from China
https://nationalinterest.org ^ | August 7, 2021 | by David Axe

ere's What You Need to Remember: In the event of war with the United States over disputed Pacific territories, Chinese forces likely would attempt to neutralize forward-deployed U.S. forces in Japan and Guam and at sea.

The U.S. military must find ways of defeating any attempt by China to launch surprise strikes using non-nuclear weapons, analyst Sam Goldsmith argued in a new article for Naval War College Review.

“China likely would aim to confine itself to the use of conventional weapons during any potential high-intensity conflict with the United States—particularly given that China already possesses a lethal array of long-range, conventional, theater-strike options,” Goldsmith wrote in “U.S. Conventional Access Strategy: Denying China a Conventional First-Strike Capability.”

“Such a strategic, conventional, first-strike option is one that the United States should seek to deny China by developing an effective conventional access strategy.”

In the event of war with the United States over disputed Pacific territories, Chinese forces likely would attempt to neutralize forward-deployed U.S. forces in Japan and Guam and at sea, Goldsmith explained.

Next, the People’s Liberation Army would attack U.S. reinforcements heading west to the Pacific theater, Goldsmith added.

Biden’s “81 million votes” was the surprise attack.

Without using a nuke?

A bit far to try with conventional missiles to do enough damage. The Japanese could not do it conventionally even with the targets sitting still for them.

There was already one. The next attack will be final.

They could defeat us now, conventionally. I am convinced of this. Because they will pull out all the stops, and we will not, and we are led by liars, fools and traitors. 40% of our military are useless mongrel low IQ faggotblobs with no loyalty or sense of valor. And half our civilian population is obese and retarded, as well as America hating.

But they also have 1,000,000 here ready to do whatever it takes to disrupt the homeland. Start infernos in the Western US that make what is going on look like a boy scout campfire. Fentanyl in every aquifer and supermarket and school. Crops destroyed. Cities set ablaze. Computer hacks. Barring a Mike Lindell Miracle, and a subsequent Martial Law/Purge of the Left, there is no way we get out of this alive. Red Dawn will be a way of life if they go conventional. Their real plan is, as in the link above, to send a disease, wait out our nuclear response if they haven’t disabled them at that point, and hang in the underground bunkers/empty cities for 5 years. Then come and split the land, resources and white women with Russia.

Then there are the two NK satellites flying above the US at all times. Obama let them go up, and Trump didn’t destroy them.

35 years ago at my BIL’s college/ROTC graduation day I brought up the Soviet Union in a conversation and he replied verbatim, “Russia’s not the problem. It’s China we have to watch out for”.

Just buy off a couple more Senators - cheaper and easier.

I don’t think so. Democrats are too far gone to retrieve.
Americans are on their own. Thankfully most Democrats are in cities, without the old industries that sustained them.
Popcorn time.

I’m sure that they paid millions because they like hunter biden’s smile. We need to worry LESS about the threats from “outside” and MORE about the threats “inside”!

"China has no need to use any kind of weapon. They already own Biden and the U.S. military."

China has no need to use any kind of weapon. They already own Biden and the U.S. military. The U.S. isn’t going to oppose them for the next few years at least.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They own Biden but they only own military window dressing.

Biden invited 350,000 Chinese troops to Washington D.C. to ‘secure’ the inauguration. Our military is the only reason they aren’t already here.

The biggest threat to The United States is Washington DC!!

Thank You. Cannot be said enough.

When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

China is expanding it’s strategic nuclear arsenal to compete with the declining and aging and shrinking US nuclear arsenal.

And the average American has a deluded idea that we have more than we need, when the concept of deterrence depends on what our adversaries think.

They obviously think differently given present trends.

I suspect that at the point Taiwan is invaded, China will have strategic nuclear parity, and no problem nuking any carrier battle group, especially since it is a purely military target with no civilians.
