Unbeknownst to most of his supporters, that is what the President is presently fighting.
As practically existing, the age of wars being a matter of
moving weapons and soldiers has still not been translated into history, but as
a concept it has already begun to noticeably fall behind. Following the
increase in the number of international treaties limiting the arms race and the
proliferation of weapons, the United Nations and regional international
organizations have enlarged their intervention power in local wars and regional
conflicts and relatively decreased the military threat to national security; on
the contrary, the springing up of large amounts of new high technology will
actually greatly increase the possibility of non-military measures threatening
national security, and the international community, which is at a loss of what
to do upon being confronted with non-military threats with such destruction no
less than that of a war, at the least lacks necessary and effective
limitations. This has objectively accelerated the occurrence of non-military
wars, and at the same time it has also resulted in the old concepts and systems
of national security being on the brink of collapse.
Aside from the increasingly intense terrorist attacks, as well
as the hacker wars, financial wars and computer virus wars which will dominate
the future, there are also the present various types of “new concept wars” to
which it is difficult to fix a name and are already sufficient to have the
security view of “resisting the enemy outside of one’s national gate” become
something of the past in the space of an evening.
I would argue that you
cannot possibly understand what has been happening for the last twelve years,
or understand the nature of the current Constitutional crisis, if you have not
read UNRESTRICTED WARFARE by
Qiao Lang and Wang Xiangsui, first published in English in 1999. Ignore the histrionic subtitle of the
2017 edition, it is not "China's master plan to destroy the USA", but
rather, a brilliant explication by two Chinese colonels of the then-new concept
of "Total Dimensional Warfare", to which I prefer to refer as
"comprehensive warfare" and is, regardless of what one calls it, the
real 5th Generation Warfare that so many glory-seeking would-be William S. Linds
have attempted, incorrectly, to coin.
The current election crisis is not about Biden, or the
Democrats, it's not even about the Constitution. It is actually about defeating
the world's dominant military and rendering it hors de combat without
firing a shot. And that, you see, is why I am confident that there is
absolutely no way that President Trump ever even considered relying upon the
state legislatures, or the courts, to ensure that he remains Commander-in-Chief
for the next four years or more, for one single moment.
We should probably keep
in mind that the fact a war has been waged with non-military means to date does
not mean that it will remain that way indefinitely.
