      New York Times editorial board: "Studies show that one-off military strikes achieve little." Which studies I wonder.https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/04/07/opinion/after-the-airstrikes-whats-next.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/ …

      Hilarious pseudo-academism

      It may be true depending on how one defines success but I have never seen a study testing that claim & would be surprised if it exists.

      It's pseudo scientific garbage. What would be the sample size of 'limited strikes'? Across what time frame?

          Pretty sure the NYT can cite 0 studies to substantiate that claim.

          It would be very hard to test especially because deterrence is notoriously hard to measure.

          Exactly and the timeframe issue is inescapable due to changes in technology. Usage of 'studies' like that brings out the Taleb in me.
