Also, congressional war games are often utter and complete bullshit, run by people that have no idea how the American military and its supply chain and contractors operate. All I ever said was that I think this shit would be worse for China than for us.

Even if I grant that whatever game or simulation they ran isn't entirely accurate, I'm still not willing to go to war based on the gut feelings of some guy on the internet. Especially since a lot of people, speaking on similar "gut feelings" and a good ol' conservative distrust of the "experts," were confidently telling me just a few months ago that Ukrainian troops would absolutely be in Crimea by now.
