Conspiracy theory minded people (non here :) ) might think this fits in with a plan to decimate the U.S. military, so that some foreign military would have minimal resistance if they invaded. (minimal resistance from U.S. military; private citizens, many ex-military, would be a different story :) )
no one is planning to invade the actual US. China though would love it if it became very clear that US will not be making a peep to oppose Chinese moves to expand control in the region. That will undermine most of the resistance they would otherwise face.
