Whoa! CDR Salamander said it out loud!

One little note on dambusting on the other side of Asia. As I started pointing out three years ago, should war break out with the People’s Republic of China and things start to get much larger and concerning for our side - i.e. not a limited war - then remember that the PRC created a huge critical vulnerability at the heart of her economic system - over 400 million of her most productive citizens live downstream from the Three Gorges Dam.

If we don’t have that plan already on the shelf, the entire planning staff in DC should be invited to pursue excellence elsewhere.

Wow.

Always told my guys.  Fuck with squiddies but don't FUCK with squiddies.

This dude is diabolical.

I went to his site to get his thoughts on the damn strike(?) in Ukraine and yeah he talked about it but then veered onto this subject.

Can you imagine if the war was going sideways for us against China and we crushed this dam?

It would go nuclear or at least it would be talked about.

Hell even his recommended course of action to retaliate is pushing the boundaries (at least to me) in Ukraine.

 As I pointed out last month when the dam was first damaged (and this breach may very well be a result of that damage, time will tell) I reminded everyone that dambusting has always been one of Sal’s favorite Alt-COAs.

I am sure by now the Ukrainian General Staff is aware of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir formed by the damming of the Don River at Michurinets well inside Russia and athwart many of the GLOC to the front.

At 321 km from Donetsk, well within range of Storm Shadow.

Send 20. Send a message.

I thought I could get blood thirsty but this dude wants to tap an artery and drink his fill.

Interesting article by Sal.  He is worth a follow.
