There are many, many bizarre-sounding ways to attack the US... Few of them can win a war but many of them can certainly cripple our capabilities.

I'm frankly worried that with so much of our footwear being made in China and other possibly unfriendly countries, that they could send a shipment of military boots with "infected" insoles.

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of nasty little bugs that could effectively render our troops incapacitated. Anyone who's let their athlete's foot get out of control can testify to just how nasty a bad infection can be. Considering what's available on the African continent alone... this literally has kept me up nights.

umm don't buy military boots from asia? Could be wrong, but issued boots are not made in china

Shipping infected boots is way more off the wall than I expected.  Also quite ineffective.  That would get figured out before 80 percent of the boots were unboxed.

Military issue boots do not come from China, so there is that.

Just going by your thread title...

Nothing should be laughed at or considered an off-the-wall way of attacking the US.

Shit, how many people actually know that the World Trade Center was bombed by Islamic radicals in 1993?  The majority of US citizens didn't know back then, and still don't know.  That shit was off the wall, and we STILL didn't wake up  because it was looked at as an off-the-wall failure.  It took us over eight years to wake up when something even MORE off-the-wall happened.

A lot of shit is possible even though we like to laugh about it until it happens.

Shoe bomber?  We'd have laughed at that too if someone hadn't tried.

Given the relative ease of chemical and biological weapons (compared to a nuke,) I could see one being used to down an aircraft by being released in flight.

Either the bad guys are not very smart, or not very brave .... or even less likely, our counter measures are awesome because a few friends of mine sat over some drinks and came up with many very doable scenarios to absolutely wreck havoc on multiple levels. Many of the ideas were definitely suicide missions so I'm leaning towards dwindling numbers of "true believers".

Complain all you want about questionable incarcerations for "suspects" and enhanced interrogation techniques but I think when the word got out that we can and will find you and essentially lock you up and throw you a shitty party every day they question their commitment.

Water supply...

Or if you want to be really creative, distribute hundreds of millions of full auto weapons to citizens of the US...and then narc them out to the ATF.  Once the whole country is in prison...the takeover will be easy.

Food system. Poison some random items at Whole Foods and publix across the nation and there would be pandemonium.

Sell us cheap electronics with a backdoor to monitor them or shut them down whenever they want. Maybe even spontaneously combust due to "faulty batteries"

A hundred guys shooting the large power transformers (there are not many in reserve) in their designated AO and then doing a rinse repeat on any smaller street level transformers until they are stopped if ever, would basically be a dark sky event and take years to fix (plus cause untold amounts of suffering and death).

Basically a Carrington event without the solar flare.

I can think of tons more but this one scenario has always struck me as the easiest to pull off, it would doubly easy for an insurgency to pull off if such a thing ever needed to happen.   Want to watch the cities burn?  Just shut their power off for a week, then it would get real.

Toilet paper boys, toilet paper.

Shit will get real.

12 guys with rifles.

Hit the main power transformers.

From my understanding, we don't keep back-ups of the BIG ones, and ironically, they're made overseas.



Couple guys with rifles could do major damage that would shut down massive parts of the US, and it would take a while to get it back up.

The insidious credible ways will never be discussed in public. Let's just say it's better to not expose vulnerabilities that credibly could decimate an Illinois size area anywhere in the country with one individual. And by decimate, I mean 90%+ dead. Even if you prep, good luck when you can't breath the air, drink the water, or eat any food.

    Using the new 10,000 times stronger than heroin synthetic drug called carfentanil in a stadium, concert hall, football-basketball game would be especially deadly.

    Taking out the power grid. Along with dams has always been a major concern.

    I see our govt addressing venues that have already been attacked. (Planes, trains, etc.) But not doing a lot to secure nuke facilities, power grids or dams in strategic areas.

Place a sterilization agent (I have no idea how that actually works, just pick a terrible effect and roll with it) in the HFCS syrup they use to mix fountain soda at any mall food court. You'd infect thousands of people and fuck up the following generation.
