这群新一代比中国六四后那一带更极端,更狠,因为他们完全没有冷战的包袱,长在红旗下,成长在美国单极时代,连过去20年全人类最残暴的罪孽,美国反恐战也没记在心上(美国的反恐战,Global War on Terror,GWOT,直接间接造成几乎一百万人死亡,绝大部分是穆斯林,数百万流离失所,包括冲击欧洲的难民潮,美国支持下沙特的也门战争所造成的死亡已接近40万),即使在美国这样的制度下产生了闯王,他们的信心和信念也没动摇过。他们理解的,是一个自由与专制对立的世界,在这个凶恶的环境里,美国代表这这个世界唯一,必不可少的正义力量,是自由的捍卫者,是世界的希望,美国的国家利益和世界和平,和美国称霸是完全一致的,美国的国家利益,也是自由世界的终极目的。要理解这种心态,大家可以参考来自这一代另外两位巾帼代表的一篇文章【9】(其中一位已经当官了),对于美国之外的人来说,就是灯塔论,美国优越性论。
在中国还是把“和平统一”放在第一位而美国已经公开表达武装干预的时候,这个世界靠美国是救不了了。在【7】提到一位美国海军学院教授苟思定(Lyle J. Goldstein),他是鼓吹美国台海必败论的,但他是位研究中国多年的专家,知道其中的风险,早在2015年,他就预测美中将陷入一条万劫之路,倡导“与中国寻找平衡点”(Meeting China Halfway)【28】,不过他的声音不为美国主流所接受,两国面临的,是灾难。

I have been told that Ratner’s speech was approved by the White House. So this was no DoD statement, much less Ratner riffing. The US has now abandoned the 1 CN policy that has kept the peace in the TW strait 4 decades n placed us on a path 2ward conflict. https://t.co/xzqg2mh4TL

Very few understand that, since ~2010, defense intellectuals have manufactured a new conventional wisdom: Taiwan is "critical to the region’s security and critical to the defense of vital U.S. interests.” It's a basis for war, and it's contestable, but it's portrayed as truth.

Taiwan is unprepared for what this US change will mean. We aren't doing it for Taiwan. If they become the "anchor" for our position in the Indo-Pacific, US will increasingly dictate their policies. Taiwan's considerable autonomy will be diminished as frontline of US-China rivalry

Has Washington’s Policy Toward Taiwan Crossed the Rubicon?
https://nationalinterest.org/print/feature/has-washington%E2%80%99s-policy-toward-taiwan-crossed-rubicon-197877
In any event, the statements by Ratner and Kritenbrink essentially make the case that Washington is opposed to even peaceful unification of Taiwan with the mainland, because the island’s autonomy from Chinese control is critical to vital U.S. interests and regional security
