The Unacknowledged Failure of Deterrence, Advancing a Cognitive War while the West Sleeps

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 working against China? Why, or why not?

Deterrence is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as: “Deterring or preventing by fear. spec., the reduction of the likelihood of war by the fear that nuclear weapons will be used against an aggressor.” https://www.oed.com/search/dictionary/?scope=Entries&q=deterrence

Nuclear deterrence is still likely relative, but for how long?

> Are China and the CCP successful in bypassing traditional deterrence? If yes, how?

I see a key objective of unrestricted/cognitive warfare as collapsing the old concepts of national security and military and circumventing them by using the legal, military, and other frameworks of the free world against them, working at the seams.

> How can we leverage the Chinese diaspora and those disillusioned inside China to advance this ongoing Cognitive Warfare?

The Cognitive War: Why We Are Losing and How We can Win

We are in an ongoing Cognitive War in which victory is forever fleeting. Why? Because it is a perpetual war that will continue until mankind ceases to exist, in this regard, the war is unending, and so are the battles. The reality is evil does exist in this world, and it is persistent in its efforts – we cannot ignore it, hide from it, or defeat it unless we act with purpose and remain resolved. Too many Americans take our freedoms for granted, have short memories, do not study history, and quickly fall into one or more of the four buckets of despair – they become complacent, compliant, complicit, corrupt, or a mixture of the latter. This book details the ongoing Cognitive War (both domestic and global), a warning for all ages, why we are losing, the theory behind this war to operations, and how we can win. A primarily an ideological war between tyranny and freedom, control and independence, subjugation, and democracy. In today’s U.S.A., few understand it, can defend against it, can compete in it, or win it. It can be won, but not if we are unwilling to change.

LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

The Manchurian President

T he Manchurian President The way to crush the bourgeoisie [ the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation [1] - Lenin   My opinion - As a former intelligence analyst and practitioner with over thirty-years of experience in national security across multiple executive departments, intelligence agencies, and defense organizations and services - is that President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President.  I also see him as a traitor to our nation – plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic.  I use Lenin’s quote – as it exemplifies the progressive left’s tactics, using today’s information-age technologies, in concert with our adversaries to destroy our nation, advance their vision of tyranny, ultimately to subjugate the people into pre-defined enclav...

Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II. America is Dying from Within

  Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II America is Dying from Within What is the difference between the Kamala, who is now the democrat nominee for president, and hades? Well, to be frank, not much. If we consider what a Harris administration would do to America, has she not already much of that with Biden. If she is elected, you’ll see hell on earth – but it will take form in America. We must believe what we see, not what we hear or are led to believe by the deceitful. The best way to do that is to look at the policy impacts of Harris and Biden, and understand they are only a beginning if Harris and Waltz are elected. But before I focus on the actions, intent, and the devastating impacts of the Democrat’s policies on Americans let us look brief look at their nominees. Their policies are represented by the most radical leftist presidential ticket ever. A presidential and vice-presidential nominees anointed without an election, without the public voting, i...

Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook

Image
 Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook One has to wonder why Americans haven’t yet figured out the progressive’s playbook when it comes to illegal immigration. It’s like watching the train bearing down the track, the victims (the legal American citizens) are on the track but not tied down. They need only to take a simple act to avoid being run over by the train, like stepping to the side, but for some ungodly reason – they don’t.  The train in this case is illegal immigration, and the act they “could’ve” taken is to vote differently. But they don’t? Not even after all of the progressive candidates telegraphed their intent to open the borders, and worse, give free healthcare, education, and phones to any illegal crossing the border. It doesn’t matter if they’re infected with the China Flu, a felon, a child sex trafficker, a Chinese male of military age, or even an ISIS recruit – the message is come one, come all.  The cognitive dissonance is astounding, as...
