Destroying the US economy... a fragile relationship
It is possible to destroy the US economy without ever entering the USA..
Terrorist attacks have been always focused on attacking and killing US citizens from within the country, but as one famous outlaw, Jesse James, proved harassing the supply lines are more efficient.
I mean the Canadian Indians do this in Northern Canada all the time.. pipeline sabotage.
The United States gets 62% of it's oil and gas from Canada, and North Eastern United States gets most of its power from Quebec and Ontario..
So, hypothetically, what if.
What if someone were to sabotage the oil pipelines and rail going to the USA, and sabotage the Electrical Grid leading to the USA..
Would it cripple the US economy.. is the USA so dependent on Canada's resources, that it would it create gas and oil shortages in the USA and rolling blackouts??
Oil and Gas pipelines..
Electrical Grids crossing Canada/USA.
Harassing shipping lanes, and oil tankers going into the USA..
You see my thoughts are, the USA, Canada, Britain are used to conventional wars.. where you know the enemy.. but what if, like in Iraq, it becomes a war to basically cut off the US supply, by attacking, sinking, blowing up anything being shipped into the USA?
How do you fight a war like that, or is it even possible..
I guess the same could be said for any nation, particularly island nations in the Caribbean, one could cut off all resources including food, example.. Cuba.
Bah, guess I'm watching to much TV this morning..
Maybe this thread is for the NSA :lol:
