@NoahCRothman 2. I'm pretty familiar with the academic literature on armed conflict — I have a graduate degree in the subject and have been covering it professionally for nearly a decade. I am not aware of any scholarship suggesting that assassinating a foreign general is "deescalatory." — PolitiTweet.org

1. I want to say a little bit about this @NoahCRothman piece, which accuses me and other journalists of missing the "textbook" deescalatory strategy behind Trump's killing of Qassem Soleimani. Mostly, I want to ask: which textbooks are you reading? https://t.co/YkN8n61gnw — PolitiTweet.org

@NoahCRothman 3. In the piece Noah claims was wildly off-base, I quote several leading scholars with related expertise. This includes @lindsaypcohn explaining that "deterrence by escalation," which Noah says is "textbook," almost always fails https://t.co/reIk8YLSqP — PolitiTweet.org

Deterrence by escalation usually doesn’t work. It’s a classic form of underestimating the adversary. Iran can’t win… https://t.co/nvdv8OYgpz
