I mean, funny take and all. But frankly we need to encourage Taiwan to invest less in hard-to-sustain prestige weapon systems and more in cost-effective A2/AD and asymetric systems: more infantry training, prepare for playing the I side of COIN, more mines, more missiles, etc. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1438592970803056646 …

IMO the umbrella is first and foremost nuclear. It's the same factor as was at play in Europe during the Cold War, where the USSR never didn't have a dominant conventional position. Our conventional forces were purely there to stop a smash and grab.

What reinforces this in my view is the way in which we have strenuously ensured that neither Taiwan nor Japan ever built a nuclear program. The implicit guarantee is that they are covered. For that not to be immediately raised would mean the collapse of our Pacific position.
