The guilt is being (as per your first tweet) a tankie or a mainstreamer of tankie ideas. In other words a communist or fellow traveller. The analogy with McCarthyism is exact.

Jeet, if you are so ashamed of your policy positions that even to.admit to them in public feels like "guilt" to you, and even being asked about them feels like persecution, perhaps the problem is not with your interlocutor.

My policy position is that people shouldn't answer absurd questions seriously nor allow absurd questions to be used a rhetorical bludgeons to mainstream threat inflation. I'm happy to debate this policy.

The question of whether the US should go to war should China attack a treaty partner seems serious to me.

By that logic another serious question would be "If China attacked Canada should USA retaliate?" That's not, in fact, a serious question.

Because we have enough real problems to discuss without inventing virtually impossible hypotheticals. Life is not, ultimately, debate club.

What does "nontrivial" mean? I've been trying to get answers. I brought up Canadian case because Noah & others moved from beyond specific (wildly unlikely) scenario to principle about standing with treaty allies.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1469728958975463427 …

There's a 10% chance that China will invade Japan?

Replying to @HeerJeet @ImranKhanfromN1 and
There’s genuine chance of military conflict from what I understand about china’s claims to Japanese controlled territory. Military conflicts have a way of spiralling out of control. Don’t think it’s going to happen but also don’t think it’s certainly not.
