It’s the same gloomy logic as MAD, isn’t it? The hope is that the threat is enough to make war unthinkable. The insane part is that you have to walk that tight rope indefinitely or the whole thing falls apart.
Well it’s a gloomy logic for Taiwan, who have to somberly weigh up the prospect of losing their sovereignty vs committing an act of mass genocide. For the comfortable westerners with no connection to the issue gleefully calling for it, it’s just a matter of genocidal blood lust.
I’m not calling for it at all. I want the issue to be resolved diplomatically. We can talk about that if you prefer, but you’ll have to start us off with some ideas.
