Make love not war ... with China

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

Except for Israel and Ukraine, most nations will not go to war.  Many think that PRC is simply sable rattling for Taiwan.  There is so much to lose from going to wart, so much to gain from not going to war.

And so with PHL in relation to China. China is a long time trading partners.  So much in our culture we owe from Chinese,  food, language etc.   The earliest trading post with Chinese are in Otong Iloilo

The Chinese dreaded the Visayan marauders/pirates.  

This post is no PRRD defender.  But he must be commended for taking a pacifist albeit "treasonable" agreements   So much to  lose from trade and prosperity.   

By siding with US we have become a US proxy in this deadly cloak and dagger geopolitics.  The US welfare is not equal to Philippine welfare.   And China is employing a different kind of warfare with its enemies:    They call it unrestricted warfare that cover:   biological, military, economic, social, IT.

Our country's strategists must study all the fronts with adequate countermeasures.    Coast guard to coast guard cutter may  not be enough.   

We have to fight this war as smartly as they are conducting this now   

The hawks are having their time in the suites of power and authority  But it is time to pause and not be carried by false sense of patriotism.  Is not taking care of our jobs and economy not patriotism 

The Lord is all ready punishing the almighty country floods, financial scandals, unrest.  And the islands they byukt are subjubg

Think again.

Gen Vo Nguyen Giap, brilliant military strategist of Vietnam dies at 102

The brilliant military strategist of Vietnam who caused the defeat of France at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and the withdrawal of US from Vietnam, Gen Vo Nguyen Giap, recently died at age of 102.

For the battle of Dien Bien Phu, he prepared to ambush the French by having cadres drag howitzers piece by piece up the mountain overlooking the French camp.  Who would think, as (Hannibal did that he would attack Rome from the Alps) that he would do that?  And to overcome the air superiority of Franch (with the Mirage bombers) he hid the guns in the caves.

For the defeat of Americans, he masterminded the network of tunnels to negate the superiority of air power the napalm and the carpet bombing of B-52. It is worth noting so that the spy plane and satellites would not detect their supply chain:  he made sure that bridges were under water (the river) and underneath the canopy of trees and rain forest.   Thus the supply chain was (and we know that military runs on a strong supply train as MacArthur, Eishenhower, and Schwarschopff have advocated, was intact most of the time.

He was also known for his famous Tet offensive vs US troops

But Giap did not have formal military training.  (An equivalent of a successful entrepreneur who is college drop out - Mark Zuckerberg perhaps?)

They also made sure that political offensive was carried out in Washington.  The protracted war caused many widows and orphans to dislike the war and thus Washington was left with no choice but to leave the SV allies

Do you think that he is a really brilliant strategist?

Does his work clarify the meaning of strategy?
