A think tank ran war game analyses for a conflict between the US and China over Taiwan.

One of the analysts told Insider the US and Taiwan would likely succeed in beating back a Chinese invasion.

However, both sides would likely suffer devastating losses. Up to 900 US warplanes could be destroyed.

It's called a think tank because they THINK that's what will happen.  I imagine most "think" tanks thought Russia would dispatch Ukraine in a few days.

Up to 900 US warplanes could be destroyed.

Anywhere from 0 to 900... boy, that is some real definite maybe thinking...

Not all pilots would be lost.

That's one of my go-tos when there is clearly no further point in trying to have a discussion.  Take it however makes you feel the best about yourself.
