Anyone who talks about deterrence without talking about reassurane is merely selling wars (and weapons) to TW for the MIL-IND-Think Tank complex. They are pushing a US preventive war against, without their conscience.

This practice of failing to acknowledge the history can only make most Chinese believe that the West is really against China's reunification no matter what. This is not very productive.
