You do not care for Bridge Colby?

Deterring China by adequately provisioning our forces and our allies in the South Pacific.

It mostly means our limited stocks of weapons go to the Pacific theater rather than the European theater. Jake Sullivan himself recently admitted that Biden's miserable "slow walk" strategy was a function of US supply limitations rather than escalation management.

You have just described a settlement.

We could do worse than Bridge Colby.
January 30, 2025 at 4:17 PM
That's a stretch. I don't think Trump is responsible for this.
January 30, 2025 at 4:15 PM
You're quite right.
January 30, 2025 at 4:04 PM
It's in your enemy's interest that you underestimate him.

Also, how is it a mistake to overestimate them?

They won the election.

What about 14 fronts? Asking for a friend in Beijing...

Correct.

But it is textbook Musk/techbro etc. Used to work for Apple. You know what their internal motto is? "Burn the boats."
January 29, 2025 at 4:33 PM
Cruel, certainly. I'm unpersuaded on incompetent. In any case it's a mistake to underestimate them.
January 29, 2025 at 4:32 PM
I don't think that follows. Issuing a blanket freeze followed by a bunch of waivers strikes me as a pretty efficient means of filtering for programs that actually matter to people and leaving the pork behind.

So not a physics student, I take it.

You think DeepFold is shitty?
January 28, 2025 at 1:53 AM
Even though they're obviously cutting your checks?
