One of the big names in military strategy is Clausewitz.

Clausewitz said that the way to win wars is to remove friction from your forces and increase friction in your opponent’s forces.

This looks like an increase in friction for our forces.

homas Piketty will argue that the right answer lies in ending Western arrogance and promoting a new emancipatory and egalitarian horizon on a global scale, a new form of democratic and participatory, ecological and post-colonial socialism. If they stick to their usual lecturing posture and a dated hyper-capitalist model, Western countries may find it extremely difficult to meet the Chinese challenge.

Well, that hits all the right buttons. Most Democrats will eat this up, along with half the Republicans.

in April 2017, Donald Trump sat down to dinner with Xi Jinping after giving the order to bomb a Syrian air base. Trump knew the base would be destroyed about the time of desert. Xi was told about it shortly thereafter to a surprised look. Trump later took out Qasem Soleimani before he could launch a major attack on America. Trump also crippled China with economic warfare. You did not hear a peep out of Iran, North Korea or China until Biden got into office. Also, China got hold of Nancy to find out if we were going to bomb them after evidence came out that Covid came from China. Now our think tanks are saying we need to adopt Communism to beat China. What a difference a year makes.

“This event is presented by the Pentagon’s Strategic Multilayer Assessment program...
************
Didn’t every officer serving in the Pentagon take an oath to support and defend the Constitution?

Seems to me that those involved are guilty of a major offense against their oath. Doesn’t the Constitution guarantee a Republican form of government in all states?

Isn’t the promotion of socialism in direct a confrontation to the Constitution itself?

I'd first ask “What wrong with socialism?’’

Then I'd ask for an explanation between the three; socialism itself, Democratic Socialism and National Socialism’’.

Then I’d ask for an explanation between the three; socialism itself, Democratic Socialism and National Socialism’’.

/ Nothing.

Red, black and blue, green, doesn’t change the foundation, socialism.

It’s like the difference in death by

Grate White Shark ( predation)
Suicide
Homicide

Were you actually defending socialism ?

Or did you forget to add /s or /f ?

Suic
