On a previous episode of #PowerProblems with @jwcglaser, @profmusgrave & @Steven_m_ward discussed the follies associated with tripwires as a form of deterrence.
With the failure of deterrence in the Middle East, this is a timely topic to learn about:

Latest episode w @profmusgrave & @Steven_m_ward discussing extended deterrence, the insane Strangelovian strategic logic of “tripwires,” how their survey experiments undermine that logic, policy takeaways, & more! Listen! https://t.co/uyWBORzKHx
New research on tripwire forces and public opinion by @Steven_m_ward and @profmusgrave. I'm still digging through it but I have now found my favorite citation in an article (Allen et al. 2020, 2022, 2023):

New research by me and @Steven_m_ward in @FPA_Jrnl : in survey experiments, attacks on U.S. tripwire forces do *not* lead to massive demands for escalation (treaties are more important!) https://t.co/jmh4tYgUva
Souvenir from a "spirited" discussion on status in world politics. Great to chat with @mkmurray78, @AliBilgicLboro, & @Steven_m_ward. Hosted by the inimitable @dhnexon & @profptj. Looking forward to the @whiskeyIRT episode! #BISA2023@MYBISA
Tonight, students from @PrincetonSPIA (studying at @pembroke1347) presented recommendations for NATO’s future to a group of policy and academic experts. A great discussion ranging from climate change to cyber deterrence. Thanks to @CamGeopolitics for helping to organize!
Another unhappy conclusion: US alliances rely on tripwire logic, historically not aimed at tipping the conventional balance decisively. But as work from @profmusgrave, @steven_m_ward, @profpaulpoast, @briandblank, and @eriklg suggests, tripwire logic may not work as intended
