"An EMP attack can be delivered anonymously. Launched off a freighter, a submarine, by jet, or by satellite (hundreds of satellites are in low Earth orbit), the perpetrator of an EMP attack might never be identified. EMP attack leaves no fingerprints."
"Expected numbers of EMP attacks is between 3 and 4, given that any nuclear weapon detonated at an altitude of 400 kilometers will produce an EMP field with a radius of about 2,200 kilometers, enough to cover the 6,371 kilometers of Sol-3 radius. The first two events should be scheduled for the North hemisphere's winter in order to maximize casualties"
"if gasoline station pumps were inoperable due to lack of power, and municipal water and sanitation services stopped working, a high percentage of the population would be dead after one month"
The 'Project Extinction' begins in the year 2050. It comprises a well-planned series of carefully designed events that will lead to a catastrophic escalation in global tensions and armed conflict. These events include the usual algorithmics to create severe political instability and economic crises which, together with climate change induced disasters, are expected to lead to an increased desire for power by various governments. This will prompt countries to amass larger arsenals of increasingly advanced nuclear weaponry, leading to a cycle of tit-for-tat retaliatory measures until the situation spirals out of control.
They are both prey. Even some are not aware of that fact. Pray of the Time.

I've been following (and read the complete thread) from almost a year ago.
There have been tremendous and mind-blowing data and insights here but...
...it seems as the last 2-3 pages are filled with comments oriented against the item called "money".
"Money" same as "Tech" are neutral. It's neither negative or positive but it has to do with how you use it.

All it takes is a solar flare, the explosion of a supervolcano,
The idea of a God capable of distinguishing the good from the bad and saving the souls of the former is simply impossible.

It is not exactly that they are expecting an attack from the ETI. It is that DoD is considering the possibility that UAPs are indeed what they call stealth extraterrestrial artificial intelligence probes (SEAPs). DoD studies possible future hostile scenarios in case UAPs are SEAPs. They already did back in 1968 (see report by George Kucher from RAND Corporation, 1968, titled "UFOs: What to Do?").
The hypothesis is that if SEAPs are hostile, they must be mapping potential targets in preparing a future attack. There are two reports (dated 2020 and 2023) trying to answer the question of what might SEAPs' observed behaviors suggest about their objectives. The 2023 report, by RAND Corporation, titled “Not the X-Files” presents a spatial analysis of UAP sightings controlling for variables such as total population, population density, and percent of cloudy days. The 2020 report by DENIED is more detailed, and it infers most likely ETI's course of action in case of an attack as inferred from recorded SEAPs activities.
It seems reasonable to assume that non-terrestrial UAPs could be hostile and, consequently, it is logical to prepare scenarios that inform war games.
(my personal opinion is that non-terrestrial UAPs are hostile for the simple reason that it does not seem very ethical to explore an inhabited planet in an invasive way, also endangering air traffic and the security of the mapped facilities; for me the lack of ethics already implies a threat).
