As a hypothetical: if you were going to stage what would effectively be a military countercoup, requiring large percentages of all military personnel stationed in the continental US, wouldn't you be worried about invasion by our enemies (i.e. China)? Wouldn't you place a heavy naval presence between us and them to dissuade any potential invasion? Assuming any of this is true that's the most logical explanation I can think of.

Kudos on actually giving a logical response that makes some sense, even if I think its somewhat of a stretch and don't buy that any of it will happen. Thank you for actually responding with reason unlike the person I asked the question to.

And he just copied your thoughts and weaved them into more q larping for his latest response very obviously. You should request payment from him for using your logical material.

Honest answer? No. If a large percentage of military personnel were activated in the US, it would be the worst time strategically to invade the country.

Or would it? They're activated for a reason. An attack at worst destabilizes them at whatever objective they're aiming for, with a distraction. At best maybe they're so distracted they're unable to stop you.

If anything it would be for surveillance of the US coastline, potential sources of backup power in case of a grid failure, and just good overall prudence if you're dusting off a war game scenario that involves Martial Law.

China doesn't have a Navy that can threaten our coast and if someone were preparing to invade they'd have been mobilizing for months to the point that it couldn't be hidden from anyone.

Can't subs fire missiles and perhaps intercept incoming enemy missiles etc?
