Destroying compute alone is not enough to force a stalemate. Minimal strikes buy one to two years; medium strikes combining datacenter and supply-chain attacks buy around three; maximal persistent strikes reach roughly four to five years at most, and require hitting several dozen targets across datacenters and fabs. The paper argues against relying on kinetic sabotage for indefinite deterrence and for lower-escalation mechanisms that leave room to negotiate.
