China's Plan to Turn a Military Drill Into An Invasion

Brief

Cappy Army's 2026-07-24 episode (presentation) simulates the first 72 hours of a Chinese campaign against Taiwan, mapping a sequence from preemptive cyber and AI disinformation to missile barrages, special-forces seizures, and amphibious/airborne actions, then rapid escalation into a broader U.S.–Japan–Pacific engagement using open-source intelligence to ground the scenario.
