An EMP would be faster and easier, and less risky. Our government elites know about this not-unlikely possibility, but have done nothing to harden our grid against such attacks. Instead, they have built government installations, literally underground cities -- such as Mount Weather and Raven Rock -- to shelter themselves in the event of such a catastrophic attack.

It hurts me to say this, but a large part of our population is uneducated, obese, and physically and mentally unhealthy. There probably wouldn't be enough Americans who could survive either by skills, or by willpower, if the Chinese decided to take us on. We are also run by mental defectives who have engineered the current crises, making us vulnerable to every conceivable disaster.

At any rate, anyone with any awareness at all knows that something big and horrible -- a "black swan" -- is coming. The FSK bridge was just for starters.

Oh, well. Just my depressingly pessimistic two cents. I apologize.

As a China hand of some 40 years standing, I have always judged General Chi's leaked speech to be authentic. His sentiments are shared by many in the Chinese leadership, including Xi Jinping. They believe that the battle between China and America is a fight to the death--and they intend to win.
