Don't think it's necessary to publish how we are thinking. Let the other guys guess. I do agree that Thucydides is a good guide. Hope they are reading Sun Tzu as well since he most likely guides China's thinking on war.

After the "Those guys are weak and will never fight Us" scenario (Japan in 1941), the "We must react to the emerging threat" scenario is probably the leading cause of wars, from the Peloponnesian War, throughout Roman history, up to Hitler and Barbarosa.

Exactly. This is either a leak, fake news, misinformation, or foolish.
