Who said it? Carl von Clausewitz or Friedrich Engels? I saw it quoted in a paper by the China Aerospace Studies Institute (attributed to Engels). Considering that it’s the “think tank” of the Department of the Air Force, I’m not taking the contents of the paper at face value (same with the papers that I posted below).
