I was fishing at Butte La Rose a couple of years ago next to the western levee, and the water that day was gin clear. I looked down and saw thousands of Asian carp. Some as big as 3 feet long.
They are everywhere.

The AL Dept of Agriculture & Industries (ADAI) has received multiple reports of “unsolicited” China origin seeds being delivered to residents across the state through the USPS. The packing is often mislabeled as “jewelry.”

That's enough of this crap! Load up some 55 gallon drums of Fire ants and ship them to China!

I don't think this is limited to just unordered seeds, but almost any seeds sold by China.
I ordered some Iris seeds on ebay from Chinese sellers, what I received in the mail was a little packet of seeds that are not Iris seeds, no idea what they are as of yet.

We got that here too! The KY Ag commissioner was warning people not to plant the seeds.
KY gets unsolicited Chinese seeds

The Chinese are trying to bury our country. They know that even if not one soul plants them they will wind up in American soil, thrown out or in a land fill. Evil corksuckers.

Thats actually a brilliant strategy to take down your enemy.

Start introducing invasive species that are hostile to your enemies ecosystem. Destroy marine life. Agriculture. Honey bees are HUGE for pollen. Murder Hornets wipe out bees.

These things may not all be a coincidence.

That would make them a weapon of mass destruction. We would have to respond. And we have only one type in the stockpile. WE have 6000 of them and China has 400. What are they thinking?

This is so weird.

If they were really planning something, wouldn't they just ship it in bulk to a shadow US company and distribute quietly?

It could just be a test to see how we would respond. BTW, has anyone seen a Japanese knotweed infestation or a pig weed infestation? Nasty, plants and very hard to kill

Plausible deniability. Same tactic Putin uses.

Make it unofficial and off the record. Such things would be near impossible to prove, and certainly wouldn’t have broad support needed for a first military strike.

I assume we have a slash and burn protocol if these come up in the crops.

Someone out of the millions is going to plant this shite thinking it’s okra from amazon.

Kudzu is not the only invasive plant in the world and China may know of several that we have never heard of that are worse.
The even greater threat is the possible microorganisms with which they may be infected. Those microorganisms could infect our native food crops and destroy a major part of food production.

Sounds like some Kudzu needs to be sent to them in return.
