Clausewitz, who knows a good bit about war, defined politics as "war by other means."

Other way around.

"War is merely the continuation of politics by other means."

"Der Krieg ist eine bloße Fortsetzung der Politik mit anderen Mitteln."

What you said is what people are saying now to sound tough.
