China will attack the American homeland if “a major war” erupts over Taiwan or elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific, the U.S. Army’s top civilian expects.
“If we got into a major war with China, 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,” Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said Monday at the American Enterprise Institute. “They are going to go after the will of the United States public. They're going to try to erode support for a conflict.”

And Defense Dept. priorities are diversity and inclusion.
I feel so much better.

Taiwan is the corporate headquarters of many companies that produced state of the art computer components. But, the components are manufactured in main land China. I have never understood this.

They've been targeting us for years. Why change now?

Check out Wormuth's biography. "Career civil servant" (may I please have a glass of water then), never served in the military, for whatever it's worth decidedly unimpressive higher education. It must have been her lady parts that got her appointed.
And she's qualified to speak on our deadly serious relationship with Red China???????

Biden allowed the Chinese balloon to get all the information on our nuclear intercontinental missile sites. So the Chinese are preparing. The Chinese have all U.S. military personnel records, and all military codes. The phones, computers, servers used by the U.S. military were made by China. The Chinese have infiltrated our government, all agencies, schools, think tanks, and military. They could easily wipe us out with bioweapons. Some people think they have already made our young sterile. We will see.

If so, then American politicians of both parties will have to choose which side they're on. Could get interesting.

Never Forget!
Back before Bill Clinton was president, the ChiComs did not have the technical ability to guide large rockets into orbit.
They also did not have the ability to build atomic warheads small enough to fit on a rocket.
Then came crooked Clinton.
The HornDog (Clinton) -reportedly in exchange for 'campaign contributions- suitably washed through intermediate parties- transferred export control of rocket guidance systems to the Commerce Department, who promptly approved the sale of those systems to the ChiComs "To make it more economical to put satellites in orbit.".... In other words, to enable the ChiComs to undercut American companies Boeing and Lockheed in launching satellites.
But those guidance systems, with different numbers programmed into them, can be used to guide ICBM's onto American cities.
But that is only half of the recipe.
The main American facility where atomic bombs and warheads are designed is at Los Alamos.
In addition to the atomic warhead design work, there was other, more mundane research being carried out.
Some parts of the lab -the areas where the atomic bombs were designed- carried a much higher security clearance requirement than the other parts, where the much more mundane work was being done.
The access badges for different parts of the lab were different colors, so it was pretty obvious if someone from the 'low security' area was found in the 'high security' area.
Clinton's appointed Hazel O’Leary "the first woman and the first African-American to serve as Secretary of Energy".
I remember the media feeding frenzy about the ruckus she raised at the Los Alamos atomic bomb laboratory, complaining about the "Racist" color-coded access badges.
What the media did not mention was that in the more mundane parts of the lab, there were 'exchange program' scientists from Communist China.
Somehow, within a year or so after all the access badges were made to look the same, gee whiz, the Communist Chinese had 'acquired' the designs to the compact W87 and W88 atomic warheads, which were the most advanced warheads in our arsenal at the time.
NEVER FORGET!
It was Bill Clinton -the HornDog himself- who sold the Chinese Communists the guidance systems to accurately guide their ICBM's onto American cities, and also 'facilitated' them 'acquiring' the designs for the Atomic Warheads to put on those missiles!
If one day many American cities disappear in a huge fireball of Atomic explosions, we have BILL CLINTON to thank!

They are prepping for it, we have allowed them to buy all the land they want including at border areas, and near military bases, we have allowed the to bring in 10's of 1000's of Chinese across the southern border, fly aerial resonance balloons, install listening towers and buy all the government officials and secrets they want at the DC swap meet.
The federal government has quite literally paved the way for them.

Look for them to launch nukes at west coast military, especially navy, and then overshoot into red state areas on the mainland to help out the Democrats.

Molon Labe, Xi.
Go ahead, make our day (and provide the backlash that will end your penetration of our many industries and research facilities)

If that happens, then the US must lay waste to China using nukes.

Bull. China attacks the continental US and they will be exceedingly sorry. No winners in that move.

No.
They're not.
The Chinese aren't stupid and don't want their country wrecked anymore than we want our wrecked.
If there is direct US/China fighting it will be strictly in the air and water around Taiwan. They can do damage but can not win an all out war. Most of their people and all their major cities are crowded along their east coast and the three gorges river dam will flood about 50 million or so people if we pop it.
They have nothing to gain and everything to lose bring war directly to our mainland. We also have nothing to gain and everything to lose attacking their mainland.
This is the thoughts of a silly person who has a nice title but no brains. Plays too many video games or something.

All China has to do is launch a missile from a container ship offshore and provide us with an EMP event. The country will be finished. Even if they were to attack us physically giving us a chance o fight back, thanks to Biden, we won't have enough fuel to cause an oil slick.

I don't doubt that China has a lot of imperialists who think they are the true master race, and they've got a genuine fascist belligerent securely seated in power, but outright war has never really been their style-- in fact they've sometimes had their posteriors handed to them when they've ventured outside their borders.
They'll just sit and get fat, man-spreading and elbowing beyond their nest, quietly encroaching on their neighbors and growing their territory acre by acre.
How would they react to a slap on the wrist? Do you think we ought to see?

China has been at war with us for years. This is more of the same. They know that the worst Biden will do is take Chinese food off of the White House menu.

China has the Joetard in the WH. The Chicoms don't need to get into a war with us over Taiwan.

#8 and Bernard Schwartz. I am not anti-semitic but that is one Jew I have no use for. I sold my LORAL stock because of Clinton and Schwartz selling tech to the Chicoms.

In case you haven’t noticed, Christine, China has already attacked the US mainland. Billy Bob Clinton opened that barn door long ago.

Mixed feelings about this. Can see China going to war. We're weak. Also think all of this is a huge distraction to keep eyes off what's going on at home. A war would certainly do that regardless. So would a threat of war.
We are governed by the dumb and dishonest. Our economy is getting worse. It hasn't bottomed out yet. Double dip? Triple dip? Our government doesn't want us to notice that.
The US is walking along the edge of a cliff.

paper tiger - they couldn't even take on India without getting their butt kicked, their standing army is weak because of their one-child policy - thay have plenty of nukes but know that would be the end of everything.
