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

America’s Armageddon

  America’s Armageddon   Armageddon is defined as “the site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil” [1] We are indeed in the midst of a centuries long battle between good and evil, it is primarily a cognitive war that is occurring both domestically and globally.   This ongoing battle, in current state, brings to the forefront the real possibility of America’s Armageddon – not decades from now, but next week, next month, or in the next year! Why do I believe this?   Let me start with a premise that we must continually assess, imagine, and project where we are heading as a society.   We must ask, if we have no long-term strategy, then who is guiding our country and to what end?   If we have no strategy, we defer to the strategy that our adversary’s layout. We defer to their vision of the future. We defer to their driving the agenda – as we can only react. And reacting being a defensive maneuver, is a losing proposition.   So continued assess

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 enclaves.  One encla

Vietnam to South Africa: Lessons Not Learned - America is Losing

  Vietnam to South Africa – Lessons Not Learned America is Losing   The purpose of this article is to bring a dose of reality to the American public and to burst our utopian bubble, complacency, and false sense of security. The objective is to ensure Americans understand the reality of the ongoing cognitive war we are in. We must start using our brains vice react based on emotion – or lose our country, freedom, and independence to the evil of tyranny.   Our security and military power are not invincible. Our borders and two oceans are no longer impenetrable. Our nation is in a battle for its survival. We are in a Cognitive War, it is a very deadly war, as it includes irregular warfare, terrorism, and outright subversion. We see it playing out in front of our disbelieving eyes in Israel today. We refuse to see it is occurring in the United States of America today, just as we refused to see it from Vietnam to South Africa. This is a fact, not a joke.   Our foreign policy and mili
