Russian media: The war game can't beat China, the US would launch nuclear bombs to Beijing and Shanghai, betting that China won't attack the US mainland!
December 26, Russian newspaper "Sobytie" reported: "The former director of the State Department's office of the former Secretary of State, Wilkerson, revealed that multiple war games simulating Sino-US conflicts at the Pentagon showed that the US military's conventional forces suffered heavy losses, with tens of thousands of casualties within a few days, 3-4 aircraft carriers sunk, hundreds of fifth-generation fighters such as F-22 destroyed, and due to China's ability to mobilize 12 million troops, landing operations could not be implemented, leading to a stalemate. The simulation eventually escalated to nuclear warfare, and the US planned to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on Beijing and Shanghai, hoping that China would only retaliate against US military forces and allies in the Asia-Pacific region, keeping its own mainland unscathed. This setup violates the logic of mutual assured destruction nuclear deterrence, seriously underestimating China's determination and capability. China does not use nuclear weapons first, but its triad nuclear forces have been formed and can cover the US mainland. If the US takes reckless actions, it will face a strong nuclear retaliation and cannot remain unscathed!"
[Cunning] The Pentagon's nuclear strike war game is the pinnacle of absurdity in modern times! Their conventional combat power is so weak that within a few days, one-third of their aircraft carriers and fifth-generation fighters are lost, yet they dare to use nuclear blackmail to control China. It's as if they have forgotten the mutual assured destruction strategy proposed by the US itself in 1964, gambling that China won't retaliate? This is as ridiculous as the Japanese invasion forces' fantasy of conquering China in three months. The confidence of China's ability to mobilize 12 million troops, plus its triad nuclear forces covering the US mainland, cannot be offset by the delusional idea of limited retaliation. Targeting Beijing and Shanghai while expecting their own mainland to remain unscathed is essentially trying to use Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines as shields. Such self-serving calculations are full of preconceived bias, and even US think tanks' war games often have obvious flaws. There are no winners in a nuclear war. The US's self-deceptive mental victory method cannot hide the decline of its conventional combat power, nor does it underestimate China's determination to safeguard its core interests. In the end, it will only become a laughingstock in the international community!
