    pretty bold to start a second cold war when you literally haven't upgraded your infrastructure since the first one

      Since before the first one even, my city still has 60% of its water running through wood pipes installed in 1875. We went from 45k to 90k in just under 15 years. They're starting to replace it, but the systems are all running at capacity basically 24/7

    Lmao funny as it is, be it remembered that principled MLs do not engage in terrorism as it overwhelmingly impacts, harms, and turns the working class away from our cause.

    Which is why the spooks love to massacre people and blame us.

    Kinds wild how 1 month of US bombing turned inward would probably kill half the population due to crumbling infrastructure.

    Would be amazing if when shit hits the fan they are forced to reduce the military budget and withdraw troops from across the world to fix this.

      they wouldn't fix it, and 18 months is probably a conservative estimate

      this shit would last for a decade at least

        They'd be forced to bring troops home to prevent a complete implosion of American society.

        Chuds broke down because they were asked to stay home or wear masks, they'd certainly go full militia if the power shut down for over a year.

      there was this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalf_sniper_attack

      To this day we have no idea who was behind this, only that they acted swiftly and professionally. Could this be an op? Possibly, tho I struggle to see what purpose this would be sanctioned for. I feel like this is agents gone rogue

        'it had little impact on the station's electrical power supply'

        Fascinating.

        Probably not but I'm imagining some sort of movie heist or hacking plot where they need to trip or reboot a computer or security system by cutting off the power supply.

        I wouldn't be surprised if this was a PG&E inside job. I'm sure the state gave them way more than $15million for repairs and the $100million expansion was probably just vapor. The fact that power was only lost for residential means whoever did it probably didn't want to cause too much damage.
