    The fact that the USA military-industrial types are more hawkish on China than Taiwan and more hawkish on North Korea than South Korea -- that they even want to "coerce" these allies into hawkishness -- is a good sign we're dealing with threat inflationhttps://twitter.com/ElbridgeColby/status/1461374536616665091 …

    This is a *must read* on Taiwan. Seriously. Shockingly, Taiwan is not doing what it must to help defend itself. Washington *must* use *every* tool at its disposal to induce and yes even coerce Taiwan to do so. American lives are at stake as well as Taiwanese. And time is short. https://twitter.com/EvansRyan202/status/1461312432102588419 …

        More importantly, this “leak” is exactly what countries do to goad/smoke out the other side.

        That's the problem really. Their weakness makes them more shrill and the lack of sense of sacrifice makes them unaware of the stakes or cost, making them more extremist.

        My take is that we’re dealing with threat deflation. Ie, China can take Taiwan any time they want, and neither Taiwan nor we can do much to stop it. The Taiwanese know it, our hawks want to pretend not. Will they? Why not? When? Probably when China starts its Lost Decades.

        I don't think hawkish is the word. But less relaxed. It seems like the more the USA talk about defending taiwan, the more relaxed taiwan gets. The goal is to avoid a war all together with deterrence. But Taiwan doesnt seem to care that much about it.https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/02/15/china-threat-invasion-conscription-taiwans-military-is-a-hollow-shell/ …

        The coercion in question is actually to adopt a more defensively-oriented and asymmetric military - one which would be *less* capable of going on offense.
