Clausewitz: The Genius for War

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

I was just listening to Jeff Rich’s video, “Russophobia and the Anxiety of American Primacy” and it made me think of my previous post on “demonizing the enemy.” That led to me rereading my posts on propaganda and “The Blob.” For some reason, this chapter came up when searching for “Clausewitz and demonizing the enemy.” It’s an interesting read, and much better than reading Freud. 🤭 On another note, I have yet to finish reading “Lenin’s Notebook on Clausewitz” that I downloaded earlier from this website.

With its haunting delivery, Disturbed adds a layer of urgency and depth, turning the song into a brooding anthem for the disconnected.

Negotiating the Tide: The Vital Role of Bilateral Talks between PH & CN in Steering Through the SCS Dispute

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The statement of Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro just this week, where he said that entering into bilateral negotiations over the dispute in the South China Sea (SCS) between the Philippines and China will just be playing into China’s playbook, is quite perplexing. Teodoro says bilateral talks with China on the issue over the SCS dispute will only hamper and strangle the Philippines’ rights and position. This is one of the reasons why the Philippines is seeking multilateralism.
