Good take here by @james_acton32 on explaining the rationale behind the US strikes on #Kharg_Island. #Compellance - maybe...

In theoretical terms, this is an attempt at compellence. Trump hopes the threat to strike oil facilities on Kharg (having attacked military facilities there to try and made said threat credible) will coerce Iran into reopening the strait. Seems unlikely to work. (1/n)

@WarMonitors Russias nuclear strategy is built around #compellance ie threats of use to compel the enemy or states to submit to Russia’s will. It has been this way since around 1952 when Stalin first tried the strategy. Medvedev is the current exponent. =Sign of loss on the battlefield.

When will #Indian & Global #foreign #policy #commentariat understand #CCPchina's policy of #Compellance (#Assasins #Mace) to threaten, bully, frighten its neighbors into submission, w/o fighting a conventional war? It will do everything it thinks necessary to achieve this result!
