Why Empty Military Threats Destroy Deterrence 💣

from Larry Brock's The Reckoning Shorts · host Larry Brock

I reference reports alleging that President Trump threatened military strikes against Iran multiple times without execution, questioning the long-term impact this has on national credibility. Drawing a practical comparison to parenting, I explain a fundamental rule of deterrence: never issue a threat or ultimatum unless you are fully prepared to enforce it.Do you think issuing unfulfilled threats weakens a nation's foreign policy leverage?
