Letter to the editor: America vulnerable to enemies

America has never been more vulnerable to being destroyed by a foreign enemy than it is now. Since Joe Biden has been in office, there have been over 4.5 million migrant encounters at the southwest border and 1.2 million known gotaways who evaded U.S. Border Patrol agents. China alone has sent thousands across the border in the last few months, almost all of them bilingual and healthy military-age men.

We could be experiencing a modern-day Trojan horse with the full cooperation of our government. The destruction which just a few hundred of these illegal aliens could cause to our country is beyond anything the average American could comprehend. Our electric grid, transportation arteries, bridges, rail system, and water supplies all brought to a deadly halt within minutes with a well coordinated attack, and who could we blame? Pick your country. The havoc, chaos and disorientation that would envelope America instantly would be devastating. The American dream dead.

In March, Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said that the U.S. and China are hurtling toward inevitable “confrontation and conflict” unless Washington changes course.

Sun Tzu, Chinese author of “The Art of War,” wrote, “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.” China has been confronting the U.S. Navy in the Pacific recently, and to quote former Joint Chiefs Vice Chair Gen. John Hyten, the Chinese “just ran rings around us, they knew exactly what we were going to do before we did it.”
