From Clausewitz to Caracas: What Book Am I Reading Right Now?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

What book are you reading right now?

I was supposed to be reading Clausewitz and the People’s War. Instead, I got completely derailed when I discovered Joseph Stalin’s opinion that Clausewitz was outdated—and promptly lost hours investigating that controversial claim.

Reading will have to wait for another day, as I’m too exhausted. My real focus right now is finishing the Venezuela article I started before this detour. I need to get it done fast; before the infamous Kegseth (whose ego needs $2B to stoke) orders the U.S. Military to launch a decapitation strike on the country.

So, while Clausewitz and the People’s War waits on the shelf, the focus is purely on Caracas. Wish me luck in beating Kegseth to the punch. Once that article is finally filed, maybe I’ll finally have the mental space to get back to my reading.

The Pentagon’s IPO for War: Now With 100% More Cowbell

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The Pentagon’s acquisition system is being overhauled into a “Warfighting Acquisition System,” turbocharging weapons production, slashing bureaucracy, and empowering officials to deliver arms at “wartime speed.” Portfolio Acquisition Executives now wield sweeping authority, startups are courted like prom queens, and the defense industrial base is being rebranded as Silicon Valley with missiles.

So much for the “peace president”—Trump’s arsenal of freedom looks more like an IPO for war, where venture capital meets missile launchers and bureaucrats cosplay as battlefield commanders.

How Reform Rebrands Power Without Redistributing It

Notice: This is not an endorsement of Mr. Reagan. What strikes me is how long it’s taken some folks to catch on—Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was never the political outsider she was marketed to be. I remember watching these videos years ago. Even then, it was clear her role was never to disrupt the machinery, but to redirect dissent—to shepherd disillusioned voters back into the Democratic fold. The Justice Democrats weren’t a rupture; they were a renovation.

You can’t change the system from within.

Azov vs. Azov

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Two weeks ago, masked men attacked Major Andriy Korynevych, a recruitment officer from the Azov Brigade in the National Guard of Ukraine (NGU), and beat him in broad daylight near his home in Ivano-Frankivsk, western Ukraine. About ten days later, he dropped a bombshell: police identified his attackers and their accomplices, all of them from the Azov movement’s 3rd Assault Brigade (AB3). Furthermore, Korynevych suggested that the assault took place on the orders of Andriy Biletsky, the leader of the Azov movement, who he said is “closely connected” to the attackers. NGU Azovites are evidently furious—their unit published a statement denouncing the alleged assailants—and many AB3 Azovites are no less enraged at their counterparts’ betrayal, for going to the police and airing their dirty laundry.

Network States: The New Frontier of Soft Power and Corporate Feudalism

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

They sell the dream of autonomy—self-governing, tech-powered havens untethered from old institutions. But look closer, and you’ll see that Network States aren’t a rebellion against centralized power. They’re a rebrand, a more sophisticated, digitally optimized iteration of company towns, where the people inside serve the system without ever realizing they were locked in from the start.
