19FortyFive ^ | 7/28/2021 | Eli Fuhrman

Wargaming exercises often serve as an important source of information and feedback for the U.S. military as it attempts to gauge its ability to fight and win future battles. One such wargame that took place this past October served as a major wake-up call for the U.S. military. While details of the wargame remain classified, it reportedly involved a number of different scenarios including a battle for Taiwan.

>>Wargaming exercises often serve as an important source of information

Event 201 was a wargame exercise to shut down the world’s economy spearheaded by the Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum. It was held October 2019 and put into practice in March of 2020.

We had a different POTUS in October. Would Biden or any other Rat go to war over Taiwan? Would any POTUS? AFAIK, we have had a decades-long dance with China essentially agreeing w/them Taiwan is part of China.

Wars put economies into overdrive. War is the ultimate economic booster.

Strategically, the location of Tawain is extremely beneficial for China and very disadvantageous for the U.S. All the logistics from military and supply support even all the way down to the ability to move infantry is very imbalanced in this war scenario.

Give them a few more months... by then most positions of authority will be occupied by either a Marxist, or someone from the LGBTQLMNOP community. Our Navy will have a hard time navigating to Taiwan, much less fight an opponent there.

There won’t be such a war because Xiden is already bought. Did the war gamers even consider Chinese infiltration of the White House, much of Congress, the media and even major league sports?

I think if China really wanted to conquer Taiwan they could, but they would lose a lot of men and ships and planes etc.

Both sides would have casualties in the millions all for nothing.

Taiwanese people have experienced freedom. Try taking it away now, and they will fight to the death to defend it?

You don’t believe me? The women of Taiwan will force their men to fight...

China is not stupid. A tight air/sea blockade of Taiwan achieves what they want without bloodshed.

I’m glad they had a war game.

You learn lessons from those so you can improve.

Well, if the CIC is Biden, then it would stand to reason. I mean if one notices what he does, has done, and for whom.

Wars put economies into overdrive. War is the ultimate economic booster.

I was listening to Bannon's War Room at about 11, before I was interrupted by lunch. Bannon was interviewing a guy (didn't catch his organization) and the jist was China would shut down our power grid, internet, etc. in the event of war.

Kinda hard to boost the economy without the power grid.

Once China takes Taiwan, will they be emboldened to move on the Phippines, Japan or Australia?

The US would not even contest Taiwan at this point.

Why would the leaders of China risk annihilation by getting into a shooting war over Taiwan?

I read that they are buying up property all over the world.

That’s much safer than a shooting war.

This baloney is just China blowing smoke.
