Summarization
BDHerzinger expresses his opinion that the US is seen as powerful and innovative in global markets, and therefore people don't view it mainly for it being a democracy. He warns against the superpower challenge of sending a flotilla into the South China Sea, as the Chinese would outlast the US in firepower and ammunition. He also argues that Southeast Asian countries don't view the US and China as inherently bad and good, respectively. Lastly, he believes carriers are still useful and necessary, despite arguments to the contrary.

| 1627894084391288833 | According to @BDHerzinger, people like the United States not “because it is a democracy” but “because it is a powerful market and drives innovation.” https://t.co/u5eN5KBFWh | 14 |
| 1627156018852425728 | It’s a mistake to assume that Southeast Asia sees the United States as inherently virtuous and China as fundamentally bad, writes @BDHerzinger. https://t.co/iONE5HPF7U | 13 |
| 1627241180483272704 | Great piece by @BDHerzinger. Sharp critics of the US approach to strategic competition with China have been saying this for years now: Don't force an either/or choice on states that have deep and abiding interests in maintaining ties with both. https://t.co/bL8JCx0OHx | 6 |
| 1627501267693207552 | @BDHerzinger In a generous (but unwarranted) concession to the unlikely possibility the US could put to sea FOUR CSGs simultaneously and sail them into the South China Sea, I will expand my assertion to include all four. 1/ | 4 |
| 1628059516687245312 | "Addressing Beijing’s growing influence at the western edge of the Indo-Pacific region will therefore require deft diplomacy and defense engagement from Washington," write @BDHerzinger and @BenLefkow. https://t.co/19WrjH9VY0 | 3 |
| 1627505988344647680 | @BDHerzinger Too many people think naval warfare is like playing Risk; that you have to put the pieces in the square you want to occupy. That’s not remotely how Sea Control works. There is no practical reason to put a carrier in the SCS in a conflict. Esp not early in one. | 2 |
| 1627543849701896192 | @imetatronink @NavyStrang @BDHerzinger This is what 25 years of standoff munitions killing shepherds-turned-guerillas does to the natural idea that if you hit a near peer they are going to try and hit you back. | 2 |

| 1627501381396611072 | @BDHerzinger Long after every ship in the flotilla had exhausted its full complement of firepower, the Chinese would still be firing large salvos of missiles at the defenseless hulks. As one US admiral once put it, “We have two kinds of ships in the navy: submarines and targets.” 2/2 | 2 |

| 1627506655784206336 | @NavyStrang @BDHerzinger First of all, the US has not been able to simultaneously put more than 3 combat-capable carrier groups to sea for many years. Secondly, you clearly have zero conception of the extremely limited strike range of an aircraft carrier. 🤦♂️ | 33 |
