WORLD AT WAR: 3.27.21 - Wargame Simulations Suggest US Unprepared For War With China

Wargame Simulations Suggest US Unprepared For War With China If China decided to invade Taiwan and the U.S. intervened, who do you think would win that war? Of course most Americans would assume that the U.S. would easily win such a conflict, but according to a report that was just put out by Yahoo News, "yearsof classified Pentagon war games strongly suggest that the U.S. military would lose that war". The Chinese have been preparing for an invasion of Taiwan for decades, but meanwhile the U.S. military has been focused on other priorities. As a result, the balance of power in that region has dramatically shifted, and the U.S. is at a clear disadvantage. In the fall of 2020, the U.S. Air Force once again simulated what a future war with China would look like, and it didn't go well... Last fall, the U.S. Air Force simulated a conflict set more than a decade in the future that began with a Chinese biological-weapon attack that swept through U.S. bases and warships in the Indo-Pacific region. Then a major Chinese military exercise was used as cover for the deployment of a massive invasion force. The simulation culminated with Chinese missile strikes raining down on U.S. bases and warships in the region, and a lightning air and amphibious assault on the island of Taiwan. This is the first time that the outcome of that simulation has been made public. Unfortunately, the U.S. has been on the losing end of such war games for many years. In fact, one U.S. official has admitted that U.S. forces in the war games have been "losing faster" as the years have gone by... "At that point the trend in our war games was not just that we were losing, but we were losing faster," Hinote said. "After the 2018 war game I distinctly remember one of our gurus of war gaming standing in front of the Air Force secretary and chief ofstaff, and telling them that we should never play this war game scenario [of a Chinese attack on Taiwan] again, because we know what is going to happen. The definitive answer if the U.S. military doesn't change course is that we're going to lose fast. In that case, an American president would likely be presented with almost a fait accompli." Of course a U.S. president could always choose to "go nuclear", but if we start a global nuclear conflict there is a very good chance that the Chinese and the Russians will hit us back really hard. Needless to say, nobody would win in such a scenario. Right now, however, the Biden administration has much different priorities for the U.S. military. For example, we recently learned that the diversity training programs that were canceled by President Trump are being reinstated by Biden... The Defense Department has resumed its diversity training efforts, after the Biden White House acted swiftly to reverse the Trump administration's controversial curtailment of such programs. The Trump administration moved last September to halt training on subjects including critical race theory and white privilege, and vehemently denounced such training programs as "un-American propaganda training sessions." The U.S. military is becoming more "woke" by the day, and the Biden administration is pushing the envelope in ways that the Obama administration never dreamed of doing. In fact, U.S. taxpayers will now be paying for any U.S. service members that would like to have gender reassignment surgery... Taxpayers will now foot the bill for gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel and veterans, with some treatments costing upward of $200,000 under an executive order signed by President Biden. Tucked inside Biden's Jan. 25 transgender order, "Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform," is a clause that repeals an Obama-era policy that prohibited federally funded reassignment surgery. This was followed up by memos from both Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough specifically stating that surgery is now an added benefit. Our military is being used as a weapon to fight "the culture war", but meanwhile our ability to fight real wars appears to be diminishing. If you can believe it, at this point our military can't even seem to win a battle against bed bugs... Sailors aboard a six billion dollar American attack submarine say that the vessel has been infested with bed bugs - and that their commanding officers have been too slow to address the problem. The situation on board the USS Connecticut has reportedly deteriorated to the point where sailors began sleeping in chairs or on the floor of the mess hall in order to avoid being bitten by the bloodsucking insects. This isn't some small infestation that we are talking about. One officer on board the Connecticut admitted that Navy personnel "were getting eaten alive in their racks"... 'People were getting eaten alive in their racks,' one petty officer said. Another petty officer added: 'The best way to put it would probably be "employee abuse," but that's not really a thing in the Navy, I guess.' My father was in the U.S. Navy, and when I read stories like this I am just horrified. What in the world has happened to our military? At one time we had the greatest fighting force that the world had ever seen, but over the last three decades the entire culture has changed. These days, social justice and political correctness have become far higher priorities than preparing to win future wars, and that is a huge problem. Because someday the U.S. will have to fight China, and right now we are clearly not prepared for such a conflict. Years of Pentagon war games have made it clear that we are not ready to defend Taiwan or to face off with China in any other conflict in the region. The outcomes of most wars are decided before they are ever fought. Unfortunately, it appears that the Chinese understand this far better than we do.

Both Russia and China seemed hopelessly behind, and nobody dared to challenge America's military superiority. Everyone else was battling for second place in the pecking order, and they knew it. But since that time, Russia and China have engaged in extremely aggressive modernization programs, while the U.S. military has chosen to focus on becoming more "diverse" and "inclusive". As a result, the balance of power has changed dramatically. In this article, I would like to focus on a few examples that demonstrate the shift that has taken place. For instance, the Russians are extremely excited about their new ultra-quiet Borei-class submarines that can rain death and destruction down upon their enemies from thousands of miles away... Each of the submarine's sixteen R-30 Bulava ("Mace") missiles typically carries six 150-kiloton nuclear warheads designed to split apart to hit separate targets. This means one Borei can rain seventy-two nuclear warheads ten times more destructive thanthe bomb dropped on Hiroshima on cities and military bases over 5,800 miles away. The Borei is the most advanced SSBN in the Russian Navy, and is designed to replace its seven Soviet-era Delta-class SSBNs. In China, scientists have been feverishly working to develop fearsome biologically-enhanced "super soldiers" that could potentially be far superior to standard western soldiers in a future war... U.S. intelligence shows that China has conducted "human testing" on members of the People's Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with "biologically enhanced capabilities," the top U.S. intelligence official said Friday. John Ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, included the explosive claim in a long Wall Street Journal op-ed in which he made the case that China poses the pre-eminent national security threat to the U.S. Meanwhile, Joe Biden says that the U.S. military is "making good progress" on feminist issues. Some of the current priorities include "creating maternity flight suits" and loosening hairstyle requirements... You know, some of -- some of it is relatively straightforward work where we're making good progress designing body armor that fits women properly; tailoring combat uniforms for women; creating maternity flight suits; updating -- updating requirements fortheir hairstyles. Of course any of the old-timers that dare to object to the new "woke military" are being purged, and so soon their won't be any dissenting voices standing in the way of the social justice reforms that the Biden administration wishes to implement. Over in Russia, "diversity" is not a military priority. Instead, they are getting ready to introduce the new Sarmat intercontinental nuclear missiles into service. These new missiles can travel at speeds of up to 15,000 mph, and a single missile hasenough firepower to "wipe out Texas"... RUSSIA is poised to test an "unstoppable" 15,000 mph nuclear missile it boasts can beat any defense and wipe out Texas. The RS-28 Sarmat doomsday rocket is now primed to replace the much-feared R-36 - once dubbed the "Satan" nuke by Nato. The Kremlin brags it has a range of around 6,200 miles, can carry 16 warheads and is able to dodge any missile defense system. At the same time, the Chinese are rapidly developing highly advanced missile delivery systems that look just like "standard international shipping containers"... This missile would be a land-attack variant of an advanced anti-ship missile that would be deployed in launchers appearing to be standard international shipping containers from the outside. Such containers are being used all around the world for movingmillions of tons of goods, and are often placed on the deck of large freighters. The YJ-18C is China's version of the Club-K cruise missile built by Russia that also uses a launcher disguised as a shipping container. Israel also is working on a container-launched missile called the Lora. Rick Fisher, a China military affairs expert,said he is not surprised China is copying the Russian Club container-launched missile. "It fits with China's penchant for seeking asymmetric advantages against its enemies," he said. Of course the U.S. military is modernizing as well. In fact, it has been reported that U.S. strategic nuclear forces are no longer using 8-inch floppy disks from the 1970s...In 2014, "60 Minutes" made famous the 8-inch floppy disks used by one antiquated Air Force computer system that, in a crisis, couldreceive an order from the president to launch nuclear missiles from silos across the United States. But no more. At long last, that system, the Strategic Automated Command and Control System or SACCS, has dumped the floppy disk, moving to a "highly secure solid state digital storage solution" this past June, said Lt. Col. Jason Rossi, commander of theAir Force's 595th Strategic Communications Squadron. That is exciting news. What is next? Will they finally get rid of all of their old rotary phones? Meanwhile, President Biden is making it exceedingly clear that the U.S. military will have a culture of "inclusiveness" from this point forward... That's why we moved so quickly to overturn the discriminary -- discriminatory ban on transgender service, and why General Austin's first memo was a directive to take sexual assault in the military seriously. Every single person, no matter their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, or religious background, deserves to feel safe in the ranks and to have their contributions valued. I could go on and on with more examples, but I think that most of you get the point. The U.S. military is being transformed into an institution of social change, and at the same time Russia and China are tightly focused on trying to figure out how to fight and win World War III. When it comes time to fight a real war, do you think that we will actually win? Just because the U.S. military was overwhelmingly dominant at one time, that does not mean that it is still that way today or that it will be that way in the future. One of the only things that is constant about our world is change, and right now the U.S. military is definitely changing in the wrong direction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arabs: A Warning to Biden about Iran's Mullahs - by Khaled AbuToameh � https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/17162/arabs-warning-biden-iran The Biden administration has decided to extend for another year the "national emergency" (Executive Order 12957), issued in 1995 in response to the threat Iran posed tothe national security, foreign policy and economy of the US. The Executive Order imposed a series of sanctions against Iran in response to its support for international terrorism, its efforts to undermine the Middle East peace processbetween Israel and the Palestinians, and its acquisition of nuclear weapons. Last week, the White House announced that the "national emergency" must continue beyond March 15, 2021. It quoted President Joe Biden as saying that Iran's actions continueto pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the US. Iran, he added, continues to develop missiles and other asymmetric and conventional weapons capabilities. He also accused Iran of continuing to support terrorist groups throughout the world. The U.S. president pointed out that Iran is continuing the "proliferation and development of missiles and other asymmetric and conventional weapons capabilities, its networkand campaign of regional aggression, its support for terrorist groups, and the malign activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its surrogates." President Biden's decision to pursue the sanctions against Iran, however, has failed to reduce the fears of many Arabs. They say that they remain skeptical about Washington'spolicy toward the threats posed by the mullahs in Tehran. "President Biden should not tolerate Iran," warned Saudi newspaper editor and writer Khaled bin Hamad al-Malek. "He [Biden] should not make any concessions [to Iran] that do not serve stability in the region. Iran will continue with its tricks and deception to avoid sanctions andattempts to stop it from possessing a nuclear bomb that would pose a danger to countries in the region." Addressing the Biden administration, al-Malek wrote: "Iran is an evil, terrorist, and rogue state, and it does not abide by what is agreed upon with it. Iran plants its proxies in most countries of the region to create chaosand consolidate its agenda and expansionist goals. There is no better option than using force with this terrorist state to force it to respect international conventions and obligating it not to harm its neighbors, which is what we expect from the Biden administrationin order to maintain the security and stability of the region." Emirati political analyst and academic Dr. Salem Hameed warned the Biden administration against allowing itself to be deceived by the mullahs in Tehran. Hameed expressed fear that the Biden administration would return to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), known commonly as the Iran nuclear deal, which was signedin 2015 only by the five permanent members of the United nations Security Council � China, Russia, Britain, France, the US � plus Germany and the European Union. The Iranians never signed the JCPOA deal. "The current Iranian ploy aims to delude the American side into believing that Tehran wants to return to the agreement, but it cannot make concessions due to street pressure,so it needs Washington to drop the sanctions before starting any negotiations," according to Hameed. Referring to the countries that signed the deal, Hameed added: "Perhaps these countries, in order not to plunge the region into chaos, should develop continuous, unchanging strategies, because countries such as Iran take advantage ofthe pre- and post-election transitional state to rearrange their plans. With regards to Iran, it wants to pursue its goal of achieving nuclear weapons that threaten the region and the world." Prominent Saudi writer Mohamed al-Sheikh said he was doubtful whether Iran would change its policies now that Biden is in the White House. "Iran's mullahs are like dangerous poisonous snakes," al-Sheikh cautioned. "The mullahs cannot be tamed unless their fangs are completely pulled out. President Biden doesnot seem to be aware of how dangerous they are." Al-Sheikh said that the Biden administration was hoping that by turning a blind eye to the crimes and human rights violations of the mullahs, Washington would "win the mullahsinto the US camp." The Biden administration, "especially the left-wing of the Democratic Party, still hope to win the mullahs into their camp and pull them out of the Chinese-Russian camp,"he remarked. "The mullahs of Iran are still dreaming of establishing the Great Persian Empire, and for the sake of this goal they are not averse to harnessing all efforts and funds toreach this goal, even if they are forced to be patient." Al-Sheikh added that he still could not understand why the Democrats were rushing to appease Iran while sacrificing Washington's historic allies such as Israel and the Gulfstates, including Saudi Arabia. Former Egyptian diplomat Amr Helmy lashed out at the Biden administration for "dropping" most of the 12 conditions that the Trump administration had set for returning tothe nuclear agreement with Iran. The conditions, announced in May 2020 by then US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, require Iran, among other things, to stop enrichment and never pursue plutonium reprocessing,provide the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with unqualified access to all its sites, end its proliferation of ballistic missiles, halt support to Middle East terrorist groups and end its threatening behavior against its neighbors. Helmy argued that by abandoning these conditions the Biden administration was sending the wrong message to Iran: "Iran has stepped up its pressure to exploit the US eagerness to resume negotiations with it over its nuclear program... The message Iran has received: the Biden administrationis focused on reviving the policy applied by [former US President Barack] Obama and is backing down from the [policies] of the Trump administration." Iran, Helmy added, "will not stop the escalation in the region now that it understands that the new US administration will not hesitate to continue weakening Washington'sallies and prioritize the most dangerous adversaries who may not return to the negotiating table unless the US sanctions [on Iran] are lifted." Egyptian political analyst Dr. Tarek Fahmi said that Iran continues to pose a threat to the entire region, and not only Israel. Fahmi urged the Biden administration to reviewits policies and not rush into entering negotiations with Iran. "Iran continues to threaten the security of the entire region, and not a specific country; this requires the US administration to re-examine its positions and not rush toenter into negotiations with Iran," Fahmi wrote in an article headlined, "The wrong path of Biden's policy toward Iran." He said that Iran will continue its maneuvers to obtain concessions from the Biden administration. "US begging for negotiations [with Iran] will lead to more Iranian intransigence and promote its extremism," Fahmi said. He warned that the US would be the "biggest loser"if Iran is allowed to continue with its maneuvers and threats against the security of the region. "Despite all the negative positions of Iran, the US administration is still ready to re-engage in serious diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to compliance with the commitmentsof the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action," he added. These voices from the Arab world are unmistakably articulating a growing fear over the Biden administration's perceived weakness in dealing with the Iranian threat. Significantly,such voices seem to be shared by a large number of Arabs in different Arab countries -- not only the Gulf states. Tellingly, the voices are speaking in unison to the Biden administration: pacify the mullahs in Tehran today, pay for the appeasement in bloodtomorrow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ VISIT: PROPHECY WATCHER WEEKLY NEWS: HTTP://PROPHECY-WATCHER-WEEKLY-NEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM
