This is the second deranged piece they put out on this topic, after this one (probably the same thing though, given the dates).
The United States needs strategic clarity toward Taiwan, including an explicit pledge to defend Taiwan from an unprovoked Chinese invasion
Ok cool, so that means they won’t lift a finger, right, because it says “unprovoked”? 🤡
prevent a conventional war that could escalate
consider extending its [US] nuclear umbrella over Taiwan
So they recommend avoiding conventional war and threatening to fire nukes first - sounds like them admitting (again) that they can’t beat China in a conventional war. Yet they’re so unhinged and trigger-happy about nukes.
plan for possible US nuclear use, and help prepare Taiwan to operate effectively after a nuclear detonation
Fucking ghouls. Basically “Make sure we can still use the island for military operations after we get it glassed”. They’re ready to irreparably damage Taiwan even more than they’ve enabled in Ukraine.
Just how much influence does the Atlantic Council have over NATO decisions? From what I heard, it’s fair to say “a lot” but I couldn’t find much info. Do these people end up taking important positions in NATO?
Yeah, this is a very disturbing policy they’re pushing. It’s worth noting that a change in posture is itself a provocation. Currently, US has a one China policy on paper at least. Strategic clarity would mean abandoning this policy. So, that would be the provocation that could trigger China to take action. And as far as I know, the Atlantic Council does indeed reflect the views of the permanent bureaucracy in US.
