Wargame Propaganda

This one seems to have been designed to tell hawkish members of Congress exactly what they wanted to hear.

Last week, members of the Select Committee on China participated in a truncated Taiwan wargame run by the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), and the results were what you would expect:

A US congressional war game simulating a Chinese invasion of Taiwan showed the need to arm the island "to the teeth", the chair of a committee on China said on Thursday (Apr 20), after the exercise indicated the US must boost production of long-range missiles and businesses must brace for economic fallout.

There might be some value in these exercises if they force participants to question their assumptions or if they cause them to learn something about a potential adversary that they didn’t know before, but this one seems to have been designed to tell hawkish members of Congress exactly what they wanted to hear.
