The answer is not to avoid using coercive economic tools; on the contrary, they are valuable policy instruments in the right circumstances. But we should use them 1) in concert with other tools, and 2) in the service of realistic objectives. /End

What we're seeing, perhaps, is that a surplus of economic power is, just like a surplus of military power, a temptation or even invitation to overreach. 6/

Third, to some extent our growing reliance on economic coercion is a symptom of our disenchantment with other tools, both military and diplomatic. Economic tools seem to offer the ability to project power without really having to engage with the world. 5/

Not rigorously counting the costs of policies (and overestimating their benefit) makes us more vulnerable to problems of moral hazard and ends-means mismatches, which are these days rampant in national security policy. 4/

Second, I think we have not adequately pondered the cost of their extensive use, strategically and economically, or how that cost might compound when we deploy multiple overlapping sanctions regimes... 3/

First, we tend to overestimate the efficacy of coercive economic tools. There is a large body of research that generally counsels caution about what they can achieve. 2/

Another in a series of warnings about the United States' increasing reliance on sanctions and tariffs to project power. As someone who has devised sanctions and advocated their use, I have three notes of caution...1/

Whatever differences we have w/Germany today, it was Merkel's CDU, under the leadership of Konrad Adenauer, which made the choice to throw Germany's lot in with the West after WW2 amid domestic opposition. In a sense this picture represents the strategic dividend of that choice.

I'm no more eager for war than , but I'm skeptical of this strategy. It suggests a reliance on sanctions and tariffs unsupported by their historical performance. Successful policy requires a mix of tools - economic, military, and diplomatic.

What if the U.S.-China trade war leads China to restrict exports of rare earth elements used in smartphones, medical scanners, electric cars, and U.S. military aircraft? It's not as dire as you might think in the long run.

Vip, what is the evidence it isn't junk? Has it been successfully used in combat?

I understand the message to be, as notes here, that trade with sanctioned entities or in sanctioned goods/services can be targeted regardless of the payment channel, not that INSTEX will be specifically targeted.

Whatever Tsy officials wrote in May, US Hook today couldn’t have been clearer on INSTEX. Some quotes... “They have a fincl sector that is opaque by design….they don’t’ want people to follow the money and it’s been that way for 40 years. So I am sceptical that Iran will ever..”-1

A small gesture to China, India and perhaps even Tehran amid efforts to cool tensions? US Hook says countries granted waivers in Nov can buy Iran oil until they hit agreed caps. Waivers expired early May.

In my view, conservatives would be well-served to pivot from debating the facts/science of climate change to debating the best policies to deal with it.

1) It strikes me as reading too much into his remarks to suggest that he's disavowing Sec. Pompeo's 12 demands; 2) I'm skeptical of his assertion that Iran can be "great" under its current leadership, which does more to inhibit than harness the potential of Iranians.
