I’m spitballing here, what if the attack is cyber? The US has more than enough resources and I would argue there is a larger vulnerable population in China (elderly, those lifted out of absolute poverty) and plenty of digital infrastructure is in the US.
Can you imagine the absolute havoc that a cyber attack against the US would bring? An entire nation atomized without communities, addicted to electronic treats, and all public infrastructure barely existing on a shoestring budget as is. People would absolutely lose their minds. The same shit tearing apart Israel would start up here—fascist, deeply indoctrinated populations become rabid when they’re losing. Compared with China, for whom it would no doubt still be crazy, but I have much more faith in the resilience, communities, and infrastructures of its people than I do American treat hogs

Oh, yes I didn’t really think that through. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
