On the other hand, none of us should doubt that many potential enemies already have this same capability that the President is seeking today. The Russians and the Chinese at a bare minimum. THAT is the real problem and it doesn’t even make the evening new

BINGO.

The Chinese have adopted a new principle of warfare for the highly technical, post 9-11 world. They term it beyond limits combined war and have adopted eight components to define this concept. This forum does not lend itself to more than a listing of the eight

*Omnidirectioanlity
*Synchronicity
*Limited objectives
*Unlimited measures
*Asymmetry
*Minimal consumption
*Multidimentional coordination
* Adjustment and control of the entire process

This is way beyond the OODA Loop.

They are mapping our internets, simultaneously constructing the next chess move(s) we might take to thwart a total shutdown. This as I have said is going on 24/7/365 and with more than just marginal success.
In terms of beyond-limits warfare the Chinese make no distinction what is and what is not a battlefield, and we are playing catch up in a most frantic manner.

Given their technology of ten years ago, the equipment and technology they had then could provide in one minute data on 4,000 targets to some 1200 aircraft…I wonder what the past decade with all their new money has done to upgrade that capability? Surely it has not been degraded.

As far as landlines go there vulnerability is insanely high. An enemy distroys the major arteries within minutes.

The Chinese have published all this in “Unrestricted Warfare”.

We have no allies worthy of the name. Our resources are dimenishing with every dollar printed and our population that use to be at the mall is now hunkered down at home,getting fatter and having a pity party.

Many enemies are at our door right now yet you would think that only Iran and NoKo present really troubling areas. The Chinese will have bases in South America in five years, the Russians have them now.

We live in serious peril right this minute from a host of internal and external challenges the answers to which we haven’t even agreed on what questions to ask to define those challenges. It’s past time to giddy up. Unfortunately our Chief Resident is determined to remake the USA into Europe West, socialism and all. Wow.
