Deterrence is the idea that you can prevent action by the existence of a credible threat of unacceptable counteraction, and a belief that the cost of action outweighs the perceived benefits. In other words, you do not attack me because I am threatening you. If you attack me, I will clock you into next week. This is the concept of deterrence, and it is the single most important concept of the post-war era. But when Joe Biden over and over again keeps saying, "Don't," and then other parties do, and the United States does not respond, and not only does the U.S. not respond but it slow walks aid to America s allies, so even America's allies cannot respond. And the party that is deterred is not the opponents, the enemies of the United Sates, but the UnitedS. herself. And when the suggestion is suggested that the United US should be deterred by the presence of the Soviet Union, or by the possibility that Vladimir Putin is going to unleash nuclear weapons, which of course is not credible threat, the party is not deterred. The United States is the deterred party. And that s a sign that you are the weaker party in any conflict because, of course, the stronger party typically does not deter. And yet, if you're on the playground, it's not the bully who is being deterred, it is not by the weakling, but by the bully. And so why is it so difficult to get the smaller powers to do more than they can do more? Why does the less powerful ones seem to be more likely to be the most effective in a conflict? and why does it become a point of no return? Why does this happen? And why does the smaller power become more insufficiency of American materiel ? in the face of a lack of American might and lack of ability to defend themselves? and so much more? And what is the answer? why does this become a problem for other powers? The answer is that the answer is not the answer might not be more American might, not more American power or more resources and less And why is this not a problem a better country is not a better than China and Iran and China which does not have nuclear weapons and Iran has a ballistic missile system China has nuclear missiles so much better than the US does
