Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments: The Future of National Security - Innovative research on defense strategy, budgets, and the security environmentcsbaonline.org Washington, DCJoined May 2013
On Lawfare Daily, @dbyman talked to Evan Braden Montgomery and Toshi Yoshihara, at @CSBAdc, to discuss how China might use a blockade, subversion, and nuclear threats to intimidate Taiwan, the United States, and key regional states like Japan.
My @CSBAdc colleague @ToshiYoshihara and I have a new article out in @TWQgw on the Chinese threat to Taiwan— why invasion might be less likely than people think and the other coercive tools Beijing might employ instead if it attempts to seize the island twq.elliott.gwu.edu
My colleagues and I are releasing a new @CSBAdc report today, which draws on a recent exercise to provide insights into (and lessons for) the Pentagon’s 8% relook.

This morning, National Defense Strategy Commission Chair Jane Harman and Vice Chair, CSBA’s Counselor Eric Edelman, presented the Commission’s conclusions and recommendations before Congress. Watch here: tinyurl.com/4mmjdc2d
“Nuclear deterrence is the fundament on which everything else is built....It is not visible to American citizens,” but its availability “is the most powerful deterrent...to conflict,” says Vice Chair Eric Edelman. tinyurl.com/4mmjdc2d
“If Putin is successful in Ukraine, the lesson that Xi Jinping is likely to draw is that he too can be successful in Taiwan, or in the East China Sea or the South China Sea,” says NDS Commission Vice Chair Eric Edelman. tinyurl.com/4mmjdc2d
