America's Test

Whoever has the basic skills of living off the land and can destroy the moral cohesion of the enemy 1st will win. This most likely will be done with psych-ops. Psychological warfare aimed at internal collapse. The enemies will sacrifice firepower for mobility and speedy deployment. As evidenced by the 2003 blackout, systems disruption can be devastating to a large economy.

Weather the disruptions/disasters were intentional or not, our enemies were watching this reaction of emergency and civil response agencies and gauging thier next moves. They watched Katrina and they saw what happens when a behiemoth power like the United States is confronted with large-scale social chaos. How local law-enforcement melted away and the prevelance of various bands of thugs ran the city streets for about a month.

Most (not all) citizens did not have the presence of mind to form neiborhood watches and sustain themselves until the government came back online. Niether did they have supplies because next to nobody plans for a disaster. Most importantly, the citizenry was not prepared. They were not armed, poised to defend, or able to access a stored food and water supply. The people suffered from a total dependency on government for all of thier needs including security. People were acting like true citizens and not soveriegn people like the founding fathers intended.

Our enemies have an extrodinary advantage over us. The have a decentralized command structure and many members don't even know who the others are. This de-centralized logistical apparatus makes it very difficult for nation states like the US to fight a shadowy enemy of terrorists. They shoot, run and hide, and then shoot again. They can rapidly deploy thier forces around the globe in minutes because the people have been in place for years and some of them don't even know who they are colaborating with, or think they are carrying out an operation for purposes totally different than what is intended. They expend minimal effort conducting systems disruption (pipeline attacks, electrical grid attacks) so that they can deprive the local population of basic services and have them blame the government for not providing it. They obtain a massive return on investment for these attacks, spending maybe a few thousand dollars on an operation that causes millions in losses.


Nations that can't face us militarily, will find other means to hurt us. Attacking US currency and flooding us with illegal immigrants to destory our society from within and bring and already strained social support structure to it's knees.
