Kaplan

Kaplan:

Kaplan's new piece in the Atlantic Monthly is stupendous. It's called "How We Would Fight China," and you must read it.

Every reader will find something to agree with and something that rubs him the wrong way. Set aside the parts that rub you the wrong way, and keep reading. Kaplan definitely knows what he's talking about here. This is an excellent history of PACOM and its capabilities, with a useful analogy to Otto von Bismarck, thoughts on current and future naval capabilities, diplomacy, and ways in which China might fight us with asymmetry.
