Taiwanese Animators vs. USN Budget

That was surreal.

I especially liked the Iranian animation that showed three Chris Craft speed boats destroying a pair of DDG's or similar.

"Numbers are the most important aspect of a conflict. China and Iran understand this." Nonsense. Taken to an extreme, a simple thought experiment will reveal that 1,000 musket-armed Napoleonic troops will not defeat a modern company equipped with adequate ammunition. Nor can 10,000 Fokker D-VIII defeat a single F-16.

Technology works. Obviously, there must be a balance of technology, cost, and numbers.

Well surely numbers can't be everything in a conflict. Otherwise Taiwan (and these animators) may as well throw in the towel and rejoin the mainland tomorrow.

The politcal spin makes fun coffee talk for those who have never sat in on a war planning class.
