The Unacknowledged Failure of Deterrence, Advancing a Cognitive War while the West Sleeps https://www.americaoutloud.news/the-unacknowledged-failure-of-deterrence-advancing-a-cognitive-war-while-the-west-sleeps/ In this episode, Dr. Li-Meng Yan continues our dialogue on China’s Unrestricted Warfare but with a focus on the failure of traditional deterrence in this ongoing Cognitive War. These discussions are part of an ongoing series between Dr. Yan and Mr. Haugland as they try to provide a strategic perspective, assessments, analysis, and insight for a deeper understanding of the importance of Unrestricted Warfare and how the CCP uses ideology, religion, and issues as the ways to fulfill their strategy. This discussion focuses on three broad questions in discussing if and why traditional deterrence has failed. You will find that we do not necessarily agree on this point, but the reasoning and discussions provide all with each of our perspectives as we discuss: > Is deterrence workin...

In this episode you'll hear analysis and assessment that you'll not hear in mainstream media, including bomb shells that speak to several major cover-ups! The episodes this year are intended to provide and expand on real examples of how to win in this ongoing Cognitive War. In this episode, Mr. Haugland covers an issue that many are aware of, but where the media has spoon-fed the public the information they wanted you to receive. Not what you needed to hear. We’re talking about the special counsel’s report on Biden’s classified material. The media has fed us the lines on  “forgetful nice old man”  as the reason for not prosecuting. But few, if any, have really dived into the fuller report to give you a fuller review and assessment. In this episode, you’ll literally be floored by the details of the report, the excuses, ...

  The Unacknowledged Failure of   Deterrence Losing the Cognitive War   In late January 2024, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta testified before Congress on the threats from China. Pompeo and Panetta both indicated a need to “deter” China.   The reason I mention the two men is to highlight a common misperception. First, note that they come from two different political parties. Second, they were both former Directors of the CIA. Third, they share a joint belief that deterrence will work against China or other adversaries. And finally, what they both fail to realize is that traditional deterrence, less nuclear, no longer works in this ongoing Cognitive War.   I define Cognitive War as - A primarily an ideological war, between tyranny and freedom, control and independence, subjugation, and democracy.

We discuss what was concealed and covered up from the American people for decades and how this information relates to what is happening before us in America today. What took place in Afghanistan is but one hint. In a roundtable discussion, co-hosts General Paul Valley (Ret.), Edward Haugland, and Mary Fanning illuminate why those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. What we are watching unfold at our borders and our ports is but a hint to that which may unfold toward our destruction. John Molloy  was born in New York City and grew up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, where he attended Cardinal Hayes High School. John attended City College Downtown ...
