["US Military General Speculates: PLA May Launch a 'Pearl Harbor-style Ambush' Against the US Before 'Attacking Taiwan'"]

Brigadier General Doug Wickert, commander of the 412th Test Wing of the US Air Force, speculated during a speech in California that "as part of the overall strategy to forcefully attack Taiwan, China is preparing to launch a Pearl Harbor-style ambush against the United States." Wickert also baselessly claimed that China has infiltrated the US power grid and planted malicious software in the SCADA systems controlling power communication. The initial signs before 'attacking Taiwan' may be large-scale blackouts in the US and the collapse of mobile communication networks. Wickert proudly proclaimed that these clear warning signs are as dangerous as Brigadier General Billy Mitchell's foresight regarding the vulnerability of Pearl Harbor — Mitchell predicted that the Japanese navy would exploit Americans' routine on Sundays and the readiness status of Oahu to launch an attack. By speculating on China's military strategy using Japan's military tradition, Wickert inevitably reached conclusions full of holes and far from reality. Wickert issuing a 'Pearl Harbor Warning' is either due to his obsession with fame or deliberately spreading the 'China Threat Theory' to align with America's overall cognitive warfare. Some American media and experts also hold similar views, but as a current US military general, it is dangerous for Wickert to have such self-centered and rigid strategic thinking. Here's a message for him: If others do not offend me, I will not offend them; if others offend me, I will certainly counterattack.
