As GRU defector Stanislav Lunev noted twenty years ago, Soviet strategists in the 1980s so feared American partisan operations during a projected Soviet invasion of North America, they adopted a scorched earth approach for dealing with the United States mainland. Since China will be the primary invading power in a twenty-first century war, and China has unlimited reserves of manpower, the scorched earth strategy has been ruled out because it would tend to hinder conquest. (Note: Partisans are not a problem if you have large reserves of well-equipped troops to defeat them.) Also, biological weapons are favored by China in future operations against America.

How do we know China intends to invade the United States? Over the last decade China has been infiltrating millions of Chinese into Canada, Mexico and directly into the U.S. It seems that People’s Liberation Army strategists envision a continent-wide ground war in North America involving Chinese ground forces. In this scenario, triggering a civil war within the United States becomes a major objective. To make all this work, China must use a surprise attack with nuclear weapons to destroy all American naval and nuclear forces.

This doesn't make any sense tactically or for the long term.

To say that a ground invasion and occupation is far fetched wouldn't have many arguments. But as a counter, the world is simply getting crazier by the day and the option for occupation must surely be available to them after they disable our critical infrastructure and we lose a vast swathe of unprepared people. They'll just be bringing in workers and security to maintain natural resource production while rebuilding occurs. Chinese do have experience with occupying and populating within their own national boundaries. But really, Russia is much closer and Central Asia has lots to offer. All they need to do is knock us out of the game as quickly as possible and Shazam, they're the new sole super power. They've been chipping away relentlessly at our ability to deter them and we know they've been positioning to give us a punch. At least we've got a POTUS who will get back up after getting shot and fight to victory. We've been spared that for now.

The Chinese do indeed intend to attack the US from inside the country. All the "strategy" talk throughs you see on a Chinese invasion of Taiwan completely miss the point that while they attack Taiwan, our country is not going to be "off limits". Not by a long shot.

Yes, they have infiltrated hundreds of thousands to be agents of mayhem in the USA. We are not going to be able to force project as much as people think into the Pacific if we have to deal with hundreds of thousands of insurgents in the US. A lot of the upcoming war will be dealing with this, and almost no-one is talking about it.

They WILL go after critical infrastructure in the US. And why wouldn't they? They have plenty of agents and sympathizers, and the supplies and materials to do this. God only knows what they have smuggled in from China, let alone what they have been able to procure here locally.

They do not have the means to invade the US in a traditional military sense. But they can certainly wreak havoc with what they have already infiltrated in here.

All those guns in civilian hands which Biden derided as "useless against F16's" might turn out to have some utility, after all.

This might be the worst, most dishonest, pandering, suck-up-to-butt-hurt-liberals piece of work I have ever seen, even for an "opinion" piece.
If there were an award for pure crap, this would be a formidable entry.
Read for your own amusement.

MSNBC.... These guys are dying and they don't know it yet. They cling to the way things have been where they had control over the narrative and institutional respect by being "reporters" with a big name news organization. They are writing for their own little bubble - they seem to know only people like themselves with the same group think. They are becoming increasingly less relevant as a majority and soon to be super majority figure out that most things they write are garbage.

We will look back in a couple years and see the big names be 50% or less of what they were, some will go completely out of business. Independents on X or wherever will drive the narrative.

And, I haven't seen anybody really talk about this lately - but here we are.. Donald Trump was convicted on charges that will almost certainly be over turned one day because they are ridiculous. And within the next 9 days - I would be very surprised if Biden doesn't pardon his whole family and himself for all the money they've laundered from foreign entities. It's an incredible contrast. Now that people are seeing it, the most important coin these news agencies have (trust) is disappearing in the wind.

Naomi Wolf believes the fires in California are another attack on the U.S. by the CCP.

What is a War?

The Battle of Brentwood: Fourth Attack on US Soil

It is so clear to me that events in Los Angeles constitute an attack that is part of a war. Pearl Harbor was the second attack on our homeland since the War of 1812; 9/11 was the third; and the Battle of Los Angeles is the fourth.

In order to make that statement, I have to explain again what a war is. Since April of 2020, when Brian O’Shea first explained to me “unrestricted warfare’, that Chinese Communist concept and goal, and that the CCP makes war in ways with which Westerners were unfamiliar, I have been persuaded by his argument that we are under attack unconventionally from multiple directions.

To recap: “unrestricted warfare” is a method of degrading the resources and morale of the enemy so thoroughly, bit by bit, that a shot need not be fired.

Brian gave me a dramatic image familiar to China hawks, in explaining this concept: we in the West expect to see war as an invasion or a bombing attack or to see enemy boots on the ground. We expect armies in uniforms on a battlefield, facing off.

But the goal of “unrestricted warfare” is to surround the enemy before the enemy even realizes what is happening.

Western warfare, he explained, is like chess: clearly marked kings and queens and knights squaring off directly against one another. The CCP’s “unrestricted warfare,” in contrast, is like the ancient Chinese game of Go, in which the goal is steadily, stealthily to surround, and thus paralyze, your opponent.

If you understand this concept, most of the last five years make sense. You are also more likely to survive what is — a war.

I do not mean to suggest, as those who follow my work know, that we are under attack by the CCP alone. The alliance is global and mutlifaceted: the WEF, WHO, Bill Gates, tech bros, “globalist technocrat oligarchs”, to hammer out a phrase; the aligned Bad Actors.

I have explained that the mRNA injections (the Pfizer version made by BioNTech, according to my original research, in a MOU with the Chinese Communist Party) and our pharmaceutical supply in general, now held hostage by China, are part of this “unrestricted warfare” against us. The “mandates”, that stripped us of thousands of able-bodied and experienced firefighters, police, soldiers and sailors, special forces operators, EMTs, and other health care workers — the key people who can protect “the homeland” in the event of an attack — were part of this warfare. The purchasing of farmland by China (and by its proxy, Canada) and China’s purchasing of farmland near 19 of our military bases in what The New York Post calls an “alarming” threat to our national security — ditto.

A treasonous administration in which the President’s son, Hunter Biden, accepted what may have been vast sums of money from China, unrelated to legitimate business dealings — has been part of this war. The Chinese “weather balloon” — per the Chinese Embassy and much of our legacy media — but “spy balloon,” per our intelligence community, that traversed the United States continent, and which no doubt mapped military installations and other infrastructure on its path, and about which we were told by our leadership not to worry, is part of this war. (Did you know, by the way, that this spy balloon had been permitted to use a US telecommunications company to communicate with China, on its journey? Neither had I. That kind of coordination used to be called both espionage and treason and would properly be a capital sentence for whoever facilitated these communications and this operation.)

What if an attack was waged on the US homeland, but no one realized it because it was simply called something else?

That is what we are seeing now, in my view: a war in plain sight, an attack on our second largest city, but one that is brilliantly concealed from the public by simply being narrated to obscure its nature.

Yes, the attack started with wildfires. But every year has wildfire season in California. What was different?

As fires broke out in Pacific Palisades last Tuesday, then continued day after day to spread to other areas in the city, LA Mayor Karen Bass was in — Accra, Ghana. Why? “The mayor was selected by President Joe Biden as one of his four-member presidential delegation to attend the inauguration of the African nation’s incoming president, John Dramani Mahama.”

It is unusual if not weird for a President to ask a city Mayor, who does not work for the Federal government, and who has no current connection to the US embassy in Ghana, to represent the US government on a trip of this kind. US Ambassador Virginia Palmer would represent the US typically at an inauguration in her assigned country.

Yet the Presidential delegation with its abruptly chosen member from LA, did not even make it onto the US Embassy in Ghana’s website.

The White House announced this four-person delegation on January 3 — just four days before the Ghanaian Inauguration on January 7. All of this is unusually sudden and somewhat random protocol.

This kind of activity — creating a context of vulnerability - is standard in preparing for an attack in a “hot war.”

It is called sabotage: cutting the supply lines to a targeted population. You have to look at what actually happened in Los Angeles, rather than listen to what events are being called.

This all may be being called incompetence in the local media, but it looks like war preparation and war engagement to me. (This tactic of the leader being absent before a crisis by fire, is part of a playbook, it appears.

[Navigator]

Whenever it comes to a choice between conspiracy and incompetence for the cause of a disaster, it is almost always incompetence.

This has been in the spotlight for the LA fires. The Water and Fire Dept people knew that the Reservoirs were low to empty. They did nothing. The previous year, the Governor put water preservation (such as diverting from North to South to help fill reservoirs) at a lower priority than trying to save some river smelt (a fish) in the Sacramento basin area.

The mayor was cutting the fiscal guts out of the Fire Dept, while staffing the Fire Dept with a Lesbian leader and focus on DEI initiatives. Then left the country when risk management told her that major fires were imminent.

When people elect these incompetent wacko's (Governor, California Assembly, Mayor), this is what they get.

As bad as these so called leaders are, it is just the tip of the iceberg. State, County and City bureaucracies are chock full of incompetents appointed by these elected incompetents. The main reason is that they don't want competent people criticizing them when they do dumb things. A secondary reason is that they get to put cronies into high salaried positions as payment for favors.

Then there are the outrageous salaries of these incompetents. The Water Director making $750k/yr. The Fire Dept DEI head making $300k/yr. And these are just examples. I am sure there are THOUSANDS of politically appointed incompetents in SoCal making north of $150k/yr. From School Boards to Transit Authorities to Water Boards, to whatever other groups these corrupt and incompetents have put in place.

The whole thing is a stunning and glaring example of what happens when the very Left of the Democrat party controls everything.

Currently watching Biden's address on TV. One of the most pathetic things I've ever seen, the list of atrocities is too long to even begin enumerating.
Dear Lord, how did we ever fall so far?
