沈榮欽:蘇起疑美論前後矛盾,脫離現實

分析蘇起自2019年以來關於美軍無力干涉台海的論述,並指出其預測多次失準且邏輯前後矛盾。

Quick Look

沈榮欽分析前國安會秘書長蘇起自2019年起推動的「疑美論」,指出其關於美軍無力救台的預測多次失準,且與解放軍實力增長後台灣未遭速戰速決的現實脫節,批評其言論前後矛盾且缺乏反省。

Why It Matters

蘇起自2019年起多次公開發表美軍無力干涉台海衝突的言論,並引用兵推結果指美軍必敗。

Font size

從2019年開始,馬英九時期的國安會秘書長蘇起就成為藍營疑美論的主要推手,他翻來覆去反覆強調兩件事情:「美軍無力干涉中國大陸武統」、「美國不會為台灣出兵」,這兩者也成為台灣疑美論的核心論點。

◆2019年,蘇起:「美國百分之百會輸」

馬英九時期的國安會秘書長蘇起從2019年起成為藍營疑美論的主要推手。蘇起指出,美國針對中美大戰進行閉門兵棋推演,「推演18次,美國就輸了18次」。他斷言美軍的反介入能力已被削弱,若與大陸開戰「美國百分之百會輸」,美國總統的幕僚絕對不會建議跟大陸打仗。

◆2020年,蘇起:「美國絕對不會來救台灣」

蘇起斷言「兩岸一旦發生戰爭,美國絕對不會來救台灣」。他進一步引述美方高層看法,稱台灣的國防實力弱且內部分化,解放軍可能在極短時間內造成既成事實,美軍根本來不及反應。

◆2022年,蘇起:「美抗中必敗」

蘇起表示,中共東風系列飛彈已讓西太平洋成為美艦禁區,五角大廈進行的多次閉門兵棋推演顯示,不論作戰劇本為何,美軍都將落敗,除非動用核武。他直言未來數年是中共犯台的「機會之窗」,而美軍正面臨軍力轉型空窗期,無力反制。

◆2026年,蘇起:「美國無心也無力救台灣」

蘇起指出,美國對台軍售的可能性已經「非常非常低」,不論中美元首會晤前還是會晤後,「只要有軍售的話,我認為大陸會翻臉」。他表示,過去美國是「無力救台灣」,現在川普政府則是「無心也無力救台灣」。

但是只要把蘇起的言論前後比對,就會發現,雖然疑美論始終如一,但是前後矛盾的情形十分嚴重。

蘇起認為美軍自2015年起已經被人民解放軍超越,無力守護台灣,更在2019年斷言「美軍必敗」,那麼到了今天,解放軍有了極音速飛彈與大量造艦之後,美軍與解放軍的差距應該越來越大。

蘇起並且在2020年支持馬英九當時提出的共軍攻台「首戰即終戰」論點,亦即中共一旦動手,就會在極短時間內結束戰局,讓台灣根本沒有機會等待美軍馳援。

當時蘇起表示,若兩岸爆發戰爭,「台灣一天就會投降」,那麼隨著解放軍實力精進,加上「美軍絕不敢救台灣」,到了後來,豈不是幾小時就能令台灣投降,這樣為什麼習近平還不敢動手?從習近平與解放軍的行動,就可以知道蘇起的主張有多脫離現實。

其實蘇起在當年也給自己有個下台階,表示台灣「拖不過四、五年」,如今早已經超過期限,蘇起不僅對自己過去的錯誤毫無道歉,反而繼續散佈疑美論,如此作風,令人搖頭。

雖然川普2.0對台灣不若過去及拜登友善,但是要看的是台灣和整個美國政府的互動。事實上台灣軍方和美國軍方以及民間軍武工業廠商的合作,不但不如蘇起所預料,反而比過去更加緊密。蘇起一而再、再而三地散佈疑美論又不知自省,台灣曾有這般宛如習近平啦啦隊的國安會秘書長,應該慶幸馬英九早已卸任,否則國安不知伊於胡底。想到台灣人納稅竟然是養這樣的高官,令人感嘆。

  • 蘇起對於過去預測失準的具體回應為何?

The Taiwan issue was not mentioned in the second session between Sichuan and Xi. Scholars: It is not the most urgent matter at present.

After the second meeting between Trump and Xi, the list of achievements released by the White House and Beijing did not mention the Taiwan issue. Scholars analyze that although the Taiwan issue is at the core of U.S.-China relations, it is not the most urgent issue currently. Xi Jinping mentioned Taiwan mainly to reiterate its position and make internal propaganda, while the United States reiterated its policy through its ambassador to China.
