Hugh Hewitt: Hellscape at Sea

  • Summary

  • “Hellscape.” That’s a dramatic word—but that is what awaits China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy if it is ordered to invade Taiwan by Xi Jinping.

    We know this because US Navy Admiral Samuel Paparo, who heads up PACOM, told us this through The Washington Post’s Josh Rogin:

    “I want to turn the Taiwan Strait into an unmanned hellscape using a number of classified capabilities,” Paparo told Rogin. “So that I can make [PLAN’s] lives utterly miserable for a month, which buys me the time for the rest of everything,” he continued.

    “Classified capabilities” means we can’t know the details or even the outline of the details. But Paparo did add “I can’t tell you what’s in” the plan to stop the Chinese invasion, “But,” he added, “it’s real and it’s deliverable.”

    The more that senior military figures like Paparo and figures in the intel and tech communities spell out the scenarios for the public through responsible outlets and the more Congress throws the spotlight on our most powerful enemies, the better off every American is.

    More from the senior brass, please. And soon.
