"Chinese PLA attack on USA? " Topic

How about China and Mexico forming a pact where Mexico allows China to base military units in their country and also lets China use their ports and then china can invade from Mexico.

More likely the PLA engineers will build a walkway from Shanghai to San Diego. The Chinese have limitless strategic reserves of cement, gravel and poor-quality steel, and have far surpassed us in marine construction expertise.

Unless they make friends with either Canada or Mexico or both. They have no real way to get here !

If The Donald becomes president, all of the what-if scenarios become more believable.

I'm using him to explain NATO vs. Russia in the Baltics.

Dude ! That statement would get me so DH'd ! So let's test the waters. And see it Bill really is as biased to others as he seems he is against me !

China surprise-invades Taiwan and the US rushes an expeditionary force there to beef up defenses in hopes that a stalemate ensues leading to negotiations.

Mexico falls apart and the country devolves into a narco-state of competing factions and regions, one of which, claiming to represent a central government, sells Baja California to the Chinese government for desperately needed cash. The Chinese turn Baja into a military zone that eventually invades California and Arizona.

Highly unlikely but good "thinking out of the box". The US Military has all sorts of OPLANS dealing with many "what-ifs". Like a US invasion of Canada and/or Mexico, etc. But very much of that is very much classified, AFAIK.

Come north of the borders and your young men will die, while their widows and mothers wail and lament! The vastness of our land will swallow your legions and they will disappear from history. The White death awaits you!

ANY movement against our forces, or our homeland will result in an immediate and coordinated detonation of all of them.

First thing I would do is nuke every single one of their major cities.

They would have more to lose than us.

Plus by nuking our cities they would end up losing those who would most likely support them.

So a win-win situation.

Not too many years ago there was a major political dustup over a Chinese company, or companies renting space at/taking over the port of Long Beach in CA.

They have huge cargo ships offloading hundreds if not thousands containers in Oakland, and I suspect other West Coast ports too, so a sneak attack/amphibious invasion via that method is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Relax Rod, It's just to darn cold ! And most Yanks don't like Moose meat. It's just a plan.

'Unless they make friends with either Canada or Mexico or both. They have no real way to get here !'

I can really see how unlikely it is that Mexico at least will always feel friendly towards their benevolent and caring neighbours. The bonds are going to be further strengthened in future – it will demonstrate the truth, for example, of the saying 'good fences make good neighbours.'

We'll just have to wait and see … There is a lot of interdependency between these neighbors …

I think this is much more likely. I think I'll build some 6mm Chinese to take on my US Marines ;)

Also there is quite a lot of potential for China vs India, Russia, Japan – bad news for the world, but great for wargaming scenarios…

What if the PLA uses the commercial ships taken up from trade and using shipping containers transports its spear head covertly into the US. How many thousands of shipping containers or car transporter ships arrive in the US daily.

Boom!! unappossed first wave with follow on forces already being offloaded. No need for a beach assault.

+1 Mako11.

The invasion starts via infiltration; tens of thousands of highly-trained PLA commandos work their way into the interior of the USA via innocuously-marked commercial shipping containers. On D-Day they target… I don't know what. Power grids? Internet servers? If you had tens of thousands of highly-trained commandos infiltrating the continental US, what would YOU target?

Lov'in this ! , Great pics Dan.

Why would we rush to help Taiwan now, when we have served them on a platter for decades?

PS. Besides, China is our very bestest of friends.

China won't have the sealift to do that for at least 20 years.

Hopefully by then the US will have washed it's hands of the mess.

I mean, hell, back in 1949 the US told Mao to go ahead and finish his civil war, take Taiwan. But by the time Mao had moved enough troops and ships down the coast to invade, some Stalin-backed idiot named Kim had kicked off an invasion of Korea.

Any physical attack against us will be preceded by a cyber one.

But the cyber attacks could be used all by themselves to convey a political message for our military and our ships to back off, or to misdirect our attention and resources elsewhere, or to artificially create a state of heightened alarm for a prolonged period, which can be very detrimental to our response in an actual emergency.

Or the cyber attack might be directed at our citizens and infrastructure and not at our military. It would create chaos if the citizens suddenly got messages directly from a foreign government asking them to stand down or to accept terms or a regime change, wouldn't it?

So, whomever makes most of our components could end up having a major advantage over us. :)
