A plausible scenario. The CCP effers are on a tear.
I sure hope this part is true.
I don’t trust Communists. Some of them tell us they are quite directly. Others don’t. Our leaders should be more mindful.
They don’t even need to disguise missiles as cargo containers. They got those hypersonic missiles that can deliver a nuclear payload.
Oddly, they supposedly developed that capability by ripping off American technology. So why doesn’t the US have that capability?
We probably do. But you know we’re the good guys so nobody needs to worry.
Funny thing is the pictures of the system China unveiled at one of their parades is little missiles, probably anti-aircraft, but then the CG is all bigger missiles. So they can talk about EMP.
And as you point out, they wouldn’t really need to disguise anything. It’s their ships, they could put all kinds of stuff on them with no need for more stealth than a tarp.
Who needs missiles? I have been waiting for a shipping container nuke to go off in a major US port for over 2 decades. You dont need to shoot missiles long range when the enemy paid you to have you ship them a container full of spent uranium and a very explosive nuclear device. This would devastate Long Beach or New York harbor beyond habitability.
There are over 20 container receiving ports in the US. Take your pick, China. New York has over 1/4 million shipping containers waiting in idle right now. You dont even have to wait for the us to unload it. Surface burst in the middle of the harbor before the ship even ties to the pier and the party is over.
BFD. One incident back in 2002. Thousands of container ships are delivering freight on both coasts on a regular basis. If someone had a dirty bomb or a missile battery and meant to use it, they would have done it already. And as I just said, the Chicoms don’t need to use anything like that. They’ve got hypersonic ICBMs.
“It’s their ships, they could put all kinds of stuff on them with no need for more stealth than a tarp.”
True enough. But there are “growing fears”. Wooooooo!
If Armageddon is going to happen in the next five minutes, there’s f@#$-all we can do about it. I’m so afraid. Quake. Quiver. Dig a hole to China and hide in it./s
Carpe diem.
“They gave us the virus and we did nothing.”
Trump drove a hard bargain and came out on top. Unforgivable. China is always supposed to come out on top. America is supposed to bend over and take it.
“Growing fears” cause one tabloid in the UK noticed and made an article. It’s amazing to me how much “real world” reporting has come to resemble sports reporting. In the sports world one hot take show says “this coach would be a good fit here” and the next thing you know there’s a rumor he’s actually taking the job. That’s all this is, China puts a thing in their parade that’s actually pretty easy technology and every modern military has been able to do for 25 years and now we get the “rumors”.
With this “feckless brandon administration” nothing would surprise me. I just want to vomit every time “brandon” is on the TV.
They do this and they would unleash hell upon themselves. there is plenty of traditional weapons out there that can smoke their pinko-commie behinds.
They have...and not just nuclear. Chemical explosives off-gas signal chemicals that can be detected by portable instruments simply by pulling an air sample from the container.
Using what??
So a Chinese cargo vessel comes into Los Angles to unload. The top containers (missiles) are unloaded but not shipped and reloaded back to the ship before It departs. Nobody would notice this and find it suspicious?
On the one hand, we could, at a minimum, use our subs to retaliate. We could knock out the 3 Gorges Dam, hit their big cities and really devastate China.
We could.
But if they use the EMPs to knock out our ports, and then they follow up with a threat to use hyper-sonic thermonuclear devices against our population centers, I think there is an excellent chance that the Biden Admin would do nothing —
_______________________________________
Indeed, “We could”, but as you stated, we wouldn’t.
US leadership in the Biden Administration, FBI, CIA, DHS, the Pentagon, corporate media and Big Tech are completely compromised either because they are either idealogically on China’s side and desire to have the same tyrannical control over the US population or they gave been bought by the CCP.
Case and point are buffoons like our traitorous and sexual deviant Joint Chiefs Chairman General Milley, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, or NBA players like LeBron James. Now condlsider how many other nameless and faceless US bureaucrats and corporate officers China has bought.
So yeah, we’d probably just fold like a cheap suit.
JMHO.
The folks watching have their noses in their phones.
We had a Good Run,
