Brief

A wargame scenario by @Microinteracti1 imagines the Japanese fleet besieging Hawaii in 1943 after 'no Midway' or Coral Sea because President Trump declined to order a counterattack; the islands starve for eight months, Honolulu capitulates, the administration reframes the loss as 'force protection' and 'peace', and the author calls the episode 'chapter seven', warning the aftermath is worse.

Why it matters

In the wargame, the Japanese fleet besieges Hawaii in 1943; there is no Midway or Coral Sea and no U.S. counterattack because President Trump never ordered one, and the islands starve for eight months.

Key details

  • When Honolulu capitulates, the president says Hawaii was 'thousands of miles away, badly defended before he arrived, and far too expensive to hold'; his secretary of defense calls the surrender 'force protection' and his secretary of state calls it 'peace.'
  • The author emphasizes an American state is lost 'without a single American sortie flown to save it,' labels that moment 'chapter seven,' and warns 'the rest is worse' (link: gandalv.substack.com/p/what-…).
Source evidence

In our wargame, the Japanese fleet puts Hawaii under siege in 1943. There has been no Midway, no Coral Sea, no counterattack of any kind, because President Trump never ordered one. The islands starve for eight months while Washington explores frameworks.

When Honolulu capitulates, the president explains that Hawaii was thousands of miles away, badly defended before he arrived, and far too expensive to hold. His secretary of defense calls the surrender force protection. His secretary of state calls it peace.

An American state, lost without a single American sortie flown to save it. That is chapter seven. The rest is worse. Link below.
