When one is at war, one moves force against the opponent’s flanks, to cut their communications (morale, signal, and supply). That means, among other moves, out-thinking the bastards. US history and sovereign freedom have always turned on foreign affairs and always will. Our ancestors’ War of Independence was, at heart, a foreign affairs dispute: we will take care of ourselves, thank you very much, so buzz off.
A revolution in American foreign affairs does not go amiss. At heart, such is the MAGA Movement. At heart, such was the 06JAN21 demonstration at the nation’s Capitol Building. Among other things, the MAGA revolution in American foreign affairs yields opportunity to design and plan for casting off layers of accreted command and control — the decades-old cabal Glenn mentions; “our democracy” the cabal call themselves — that, as is evident, harms the nation system Americans are. Recently Americans cheered for four years dramatizing needs for and benefits of a revolution in American foreign affairs. The cabal lives as the orchestra of think tanks, Left and Right, playing from D.C. and schools and philanthropies here and overseas. CIA conduct the orchestra.
There is a systems truism inside this experience, as well. It is that as networking increases, gets more dense, layers of command and control must be pulled off because the networking itself is becoming its own command and control mechanism; it is self-organizing. Previously convenient layers of command and control become turbulence generators, de-stabilizers, as networking becomes compact and extensive. Those layers must be separated from the network and abandoned as garbage, or, as is underway in the PRC, they kill the system by throwing it into restless kinetics. Self-organized networking is the bionic model nations use to progress towards fulness in their destinies together and individually. That fulness, after all, is the goal, the telos of national life together.
A compilation of related comments:
Chi-Com China’s access to the deep-water ocean is only by three narrow chokepoints. Even less advantageous than Imperial Germany’s access or Nazi Germany’s. And China lives or starves depending on that access.
Where are the choke points? Malacca Strait at Singapore, the Bashi Channel south of Taiwan, and the Miyako Strait south of Okinawa. Tankers, ore carriers, container ships and the PLAN are funneled through them.
That is a reason CCP are not going to nuke anyone any time soon. Geography has its preeminent powers.

When you are immersed in the ananda (bliss) of the Lord, you are master of all the lesser anandas also. When you dive in the sea, you must seek pearls; when you go to the Kalpavriksha (the wish-fulfilling tree) ask for the Highest Bliss. Do not crave for the smaller when the vastest is available, for just a little more effort. There is a natural craving in man to become one with the vast, the supreme, the limitless, for, in the cave of his heart, there resides the self-same Supreme. It is like the young calf pining for the cow. Each calf knows its mother. You may have a thousand calves and a thousand cows. Let loose the calves and each will find its own mother. So too, you must know where you get your native sustenance and support – that is God, from whom you came.
