I think any of the three are a credible threat, in the future, I just don't think they will happen within a year, and I think there are possibilities that we could crumble under the combined strain of financial and civil chaos (enhanced by covert outside actions and clandestine funding), before the enemy gets around to nuking our grid.
It won't be anything as drastic as that.....A time coordinated physical attack by 50 to 100 bad guys will cause a cascading failure that will be hard to come back from.
I think we may even be leading on a per capita basis, but that's just my guess.
You might say the numbers in this country are fudged. And I might say they might be fudged all around the world.
At any rate, here's a source which proves my claim that the USA has been hot the hardest. It has the most deaths and the most cases. If you have a source claiming otherwise, please post it and we'll discuss them.
The most vunerable infrastructure is/are unmanned transmission substations. One well place long gun round could put it out of service and 10's of thousands of people without power. Before I left We were actively building berms around them (limiting line-of-sight) and using ballistic fencing. However there is only so much you can do ... and often these facilities are very remote. Almost impossible to protect transmission lines. ...
You have a point,, although I would say it is "one of the most vulnerable."
A real world test of this theory showed that it required more than one round, but was "do-able."

Your source does not show fatalities per capita, nor any other measure that would prove your claim. Comparing the US total cases is a false comparison. Plus, you are right about numbers being fudged. We pad our numbers to show more cases than we have, all others fudge them to show less cases. No discussion needed. Nor is there any further discussion forthcoming.

With China cooking up new viruses (literally) other countries must follow suit. And clearly, the protections were inadequate, which allowed it out of the incubator and throughout the world in a matter of weeks. And I hope I don't sound too paranoid when I say the COVID-19 virus seems custom-designed to target USA. We have been the hardest-hit, after all.
i dont understand what about the rona seems custom designed to target the US. do you think the chinese developed a virus to target round eyes?
