      How many American lives would you sacrifice for these disputed islands -- 100? 1000? 10000? 100000? More?

          Weird way of saying "Oops I was wrong about the U.S.'s official stance on the islands"

          this is clearly a facetious rhetorical question. the purpose of deterrence isn't conflagration, it's deterrence.

          Maybe the US should ask itself that when it signs defense treaties, rather than later on when it debates whether it should renege on them.

          In this case, maybe pundits should ask this question when a bad faith interlocutor has been weedling them for 7 minutes to get the "Yes go to war with china" soundbite they want to justify their goal of going to war for commerce.

          Joe has the right of it. Allowing China to conquer even small bits of Japan opens us to a world of war, especially nuclear war.https://twitter.com/McReynoldsJoe/status/1469827155571970053?t=8C--uVQuDWdvYeBvadSGtA&s=19 …

          Replying to @McReynoldsJoe @HeerJeet and 3 others
          Without strong and consistent US defense commitments to its allies and partners in the region, the odds that China addresses its revanchist claims (both large and small) via force goes up exponentially. Not to mention likely follow-on effects if we left, such as a Japanese bomb.

          Note that Jeet doesn’t admit he’s wrong about how he characterizes these islands.

          You really don't get the cost of being a strategic power in a multipolar world right? As if retrenchment makes the US safer and somehow much more equal and rich

          Jeet, I am genuinely surprised about your response to this. Of all the accounts I follow I would’ve expected you to have a more nuanced opinion on this.

          His opinion is a billion times more nuanced then all the people who are pretending this bad faith interlocutor fishing for Yes to do threat inflation should be answered.
