Exactly. The articles I have seen also say that the president wants to build on a policy of deterrence. The only way to get deterrence is that a threat is credible.

We can dress this up in intellectual language, but it's essence is:

"Behave or I'll nuke you back to the Stone Age, from which you so recently emerged."

Then we can always choose to be nice, as long as everyone else is. But we're never to be bullied.
