Episode notes
Biden's "In-Kind" Response
- Biden's "in-kind" response to potential WMD use is vague and non-deterrent.
- Clear threats and defined consequences are crucial for effective deterrence, not vagueness.
Biden's Nuclear Deterrence Shift
- Biden reverts to traditional nuclear deterrence, acknowledging potential use against conventional, biological, chemical, and cyberattacks.
- This contradicts his 2020 promise of nuclear use solely for nuclear attacks.
Hard Power vs. Hope
- Hope is not an effective foreign policy; hard power is crucial.
- The US needs to strengthen its military, particularly its naval forces, to address global threats.
