PLA's 2006 Science of Campaigns...They are going to go first & big
Have we ever wargamed someone trying a "Shock & Awe" on us?They are going to go first & big - just read their works. The PLA's 2006 Science of Campaigns uses variations of "preempt" 15 times, "surprise" 110 times, "sudden" 246, "paralyze" 93, "seize" 231, and "strike" 942 times.

They don't just mention this stuff, it's their core idea.
I think we could weather the blow militarily. The problem is that the leadership in Washington would be stunned, paralyzed, dazed and confused.
I'm sure we would act defensively and be authorized to do so on a local level (which would now be several different engagement across the region...a C&C nightmare for the numbered fleets/air forces) but the problem is that while we're reacting to their attack/s, they'll be achieving their objective.
Which brings me to Taiwan.
Would the Chinese launch attacks against our bases in Japan, warn S. Korea to remain out of it while seizing Taiwan?
The US, Japan and Australia would probably be so busy to dealing with spoiling attacks that killed bases and sunk a few lone ships that recovery would be paramount while they consolidate their hold.
In this type scenario, forward deployed forces are just gonna get stomped and for no tactical/strategic reason except to distract US from getting inside their loop.
Have you been monitoring the coverage in the Congress on Jan 6th? Sounds like a PTSD counseling session...
Wow.
I'm checking out MSNBC's wall to wall coverage of the Jan 6th incident and I'm listening to the Congress Critters talk.
I'm a bit stunned.
They all sound like they're suffering from a bout of PTSD.
I mean seriously what I (and probably you) would consider just one big ass fight seems to have seriously rattled these people.
I think I underestimated how frightened they must have felt that day.
The fear is palatable.
The terror (at least for them) real.
We're being governed by a group of people that need psychological counseling.

OK. This seems big - "Putin instructed Chief of General Staff Gerasimov to prepare troops for entry into Kazakhstan"
I don't recall exactly but I believe this person is the same that predicted (among others) that Putin would invade Ukraine in late Jan, early Feb this year.This is the news breaking across Russian unofficial channels "Путин поручил начальнику генштаба вооруженных сил России Валерию Герасимову подготовить войска для ввода в Казахстан."

CNN "experts" admit that cloth masks don't work...
CNN “experts” admitting cloth masks don’t work to stop covid after over a year of insisting everyone wear them to stop covid is perfect. There should be no mask requirements anywhere. It’s totally pointless. pic.twitter.com/41MmaWBXGy
