Hugh White is right that, to deter a rising China, US ultimately needs to be prepared to fight a limited nuclear war. He is wrong that we won't have the resolve to do it. I lay out the case for how we can meet that standard here.

Bingo: "We have lots of legacy, middleweight forces that are too expensive for low-end conflict, and ill-suited for high-end combat." These are the types of forces that should be on the chopping block, and now.

Ok...And??? I actually quoted the Perry line in the piece. How is it rational for anyone to blow up the world over a limited use of nuclear weapons? Deterrence isn't that easy.

Sure thing: I’d cut non nuclear forces irrelevant to high end fight and expensive for low end. Divide isn’t between nuke vs conventional but rather high low mix vs (legacy) middleweight force

I think you’re perfectly validating my characterization of the tremendous vulnerabilities of the dove position in the article.

Don’t have hangover of WWII and threat of Soviet boot never going away to make the Mort Halperin description of NATO defense strategy seem persuasive enough to Moscow 2/

Agreed on upshot but might not the fact that it could indeed be limited make it more likely? Soviets couldn’t figure out a way to risk/start a war in Europe that wouldn’t lead to Armageddon. Not so anymore and threats to blow up the world are even harder to make credible now 1/
