If I had a dollar every time this specific wargame was cited, I'd be a rich man.

Why do they insist the PLA will do a zerg rush across the strait?


Chalk it up to what Einstein said. He believed there was only two things that were infinite, and that was the universe and human stupidity.

This stupidity is being breed in the highest corridors of power in the United States.

I thought it was kind of funny.

Just wait until the PLAN starts the blockade. They never saw it coming!

:D

Just the same CSIS wargame from 2 years ago where they keep sending planes to Okinawa to get blown up, suffers 3 times more aircraft loses than PLA and defined victory as PLA deciding to go home at 3 weeks mark because the game timer was 3 weeks.

I found the answer to what the 3 weeks is about. Apparently, they believe if the island can survive a month then the US will break the blockade and airlift/sealift the supplies. The only way that is possible is if the US obliterates the PLA in 3 weeks, which is rather overtly optimistic.

Taiwan would have to fight off a Chinese blockade and invasion for around a month before the United States could successfully airlift or sealift forces or munitions to support it, according to war games organized by a U.S. congressional committee Wednesday.
Because Chinese forces would surround Taiwan, the U.S. would not be able to get an airlift or sealift to the island "at least for the first three or four weeks," he said.

Which is even funnier because they only got to 3 weeks by losing 3 aircraft to each PLA aircraft, any longer and US will cease to have an airforce, lol
