US EditionReport: Pentagon War Games Warn US Could Lose Taiwan War
Classified Pentagon war games show US forces face critical disadvantages against China's larger missile arsenal and advanced hypersonic weapons in a Taiwan conflict scenario.
- On Monday, the New York Times editorial board summarized a classified Overmatch brief from the Pentagon Office of Net Assessment warning the US could lose a war over Taiwan with China.
- Xi Jinping, Chinese President, has ordered the People’s Liberation Army to be ready to seize Taiwan by 2027, with China’s expanded missile and hypersonic arsenals threatening US platforms before arrival.
- War games show repeated sinkings and heavy platform losses, including the USS Gerald R. Ford and over 100 fifth-generation aircraft, linked to a weakened US defence industrial base and spending at roughly 3.4% of GDP.
- The editorial calls for prioritizing drones and autonomous systems, urging investment as Congress unveiled a $901 billion NDAA and allocated $1 trillion to the US military budget, while Washington allocated $1 billion for 340,000 unmanned aircraft and tasked Dan Driscoll with modernization.
- Cyber intrusions by Volt Typhoon threaten US base networks, officials warn US munitions and interceptors are strained, and losing Taiwan would be a severe strategic and symbolic setback amid strategic ambiguity policy since the 1970s.

In fact, last November, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that in all of the Pentagon’s war games against China, we lose every time. Not that long ago, Hegseth warned that the U.S. needed to prepare for a war. He says it is only a matter of time before China invades Taiwan, somehow making that the U.S.’s problem. Secre…

New York Times Wants The US Military Built Up For War With China - The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity
Just as the United States hits its first official trillion-dollar annual military budget, the New York Times editorial board has published an article which argues that the US is going to need to increase military funding to prepare for a major war with China. The article is titled “Overmatched: Why the U.S. Military Must Reinvent Itself,” and to be clear it is an editorial, not an op-ed, meaning it represents the position of the newspaper itself…
