This is not helped in the least by the relatively poor acting of much of Beale’s supporting cast. There was a comfort level at the Lyttelton which seemed to prop up the show’s other actors. What they lacked in delicacy and originality they made up for in confidence and a well-developed sense of how to turn a scene over to Beale without actually creating a one-man show. Now, with the cast out of its element, it has become increasingly clear that they resemble nothing more than a pick-up team whose only...

Military planning must always be for the worst-case scenario, not for a world where every country acts as expected. We may expect that China would never invade Taiwan, but our expectations are unlikely to give the Taiwanese nearly so much comfort as Aegis radar the next time China conducts missile exercises off the Taiwan coast. The submarines are similarly a defensive weapon against invasion—Taiwan is not in a position to attack the mainland. It would be irresponsible to leave Taiwan defenseless when it faces such a powerful and aggressive threat...
