Looks like they are expecting war on our soil this time.
Agreed.

Oh crap! Raise the Oh Crap Factor +1.
Now if Cappy comes in with a picture of a shaved beard then it may be time to head to the bunker.

(I know it can be hard to understand sarcasm on via text. This is not sarcasm, it is genuine concern based on years of reading his posts causing respect for his opinions).

I think this started with Trump kicking off some old plans to verify our action plans and emergency manuals were up to snuff for the military. That was something that once started could not be stopped. This is stuff they were not worried about but I think trump kicked up enough dirt to show that, yes, it is a valid concern and everything needs to be verified, accounted, and tested for.

And it's not just the US, training using highways. Around two dozen countries have been doing this lately, including India, Taiwan, Pakistan, Australia, Finland, Sweden, and Singapore.

It's more than a few countries that see the writing on the wall, and realize that the wheels came off the planetary fiscal/social/mental bus LONG ago, and that war (or at least attacks) could start any moment. Old tech gives everyone 20-45 minutes of "Get the crap out of here" time. New tech, with hypersonic missiles, gives us half that time (or less), depending on how they are launched and from where (still a LOT of container ships hanging around as well as containers on trains IN the country).

This weekend's events could start up enough chaos locally (inside the country) to allow an external threat or two to start something globally on several fronts at once. We couldn't fight a partial ONE front battle with Gen Milley Vanilly in charge, much less a multi-front, gen4 or Gen5 war with state and "private" actors INSIDE the country as well as foreign actors from outside.

Really this sounds like the nuclear calibration tests they did recently to verify the calculations for bombs were still accurate. This is more like they are all updating war plans as they just had an oh crap, our emergency manuals are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of date!

I think china is about to go down, financially, they're already there with their food supplies due to extreme droughts and flooding. When they do they will try and take as many out with them when they go.

I was almost thinking the three gorges dam was built to fail. Take out 80% of the worlds population. Have the military invade their third world investment interests and setup shop there. Write off the homeland other than a legal shell and boom, no more population issue, no more debt issue, everything is settled and reset. But I think it would happen soo oddly and in such a way no one would see the ramifications for a bit and by the time they do it would be too late.
