Brinkmanship—de­fined by Mer­riam-Web­ster as “the art or prac­tice of push­ing a dan­gerous sit­u­a­tion or con­frontation to the limit of safety es­pe­cially to force a de­sired out­come”

The abil­ity to get to the verge with­out get­ting into the war is the nec­es­sary art, If you can­not mas­ter it, you in­evitably get into war. If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost.
