    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.

      Missile defense systems, land-based and sea-based, undermine MAD. Flight times for nuclear deployment being sub 5 minutes for the USA but being much much longer for anyone else undermine MAD. It amazes me how much liberals believe their ignorance constitutes a valid position worthy of engagement from which they can argue.
