Biden’s ‘Integrated Deterrence’ Plan Code For Surrender?

Biden’s “integrated deterrence” plan aka using sanctions if not Chamberlain appeasement to deter imperialist thugs like Putin was doomed to fail in Ukraine, says Wisc. Rep. Gallagher, and will fail to stop Xi who wants Taiwan.

“When the dust settles, despite the very real bravery on display by the Ukrainian people,” Gallagher told Fox’s Sunday Night in America, “deterrence in this case failed … [because] … the Biden Administration thought that sanctions & tweets would be enough to deter, but they failed to apply the kind of hard power that would have deterred Putin from launching this war … [and] … that could still escalate and involve us at any moment.”

Continued Gallagher: “It should serve as a reminder that authoritarian countries with leaders who have no checks & balances like Russia & China & leaders who think human life is cheap can launch invasions that seem impossible for us to imagine. If the Biden Administration [continues to be] wedded to this approach that they are calling ‘integrated deterrence’, which is just liberal code for cutting hard [real military] power, I fear deterrence will fail again in a bigger stage which is the conflict over Taiwan.”
