    Hyperbole? The entire US doctrine is nuclear first strike capability to eliminate MAD. Between the hypersonic missiles they said they wanted to place on Taiwan, the nuclear submarine, with warheads, that they recently docked in South Korea, the missile defense shields they have spent decades encircling Russia and China with, and deploying 60% of their entire navy into the Pacific Theater, exactly what hyperbole do you think there is here?

      I don’t really see how having a nuclear base in Taiwan eliminates MAD. Similarly having 60% of the navy in the Pacific. It seems to me these mostly work well in case of a conventional conflict.
