The article will be detailing what exactly historical revisionism is, its ugly cousin denialism, and how academically corrupt and politically disingenuous actors have created an avenue of disinformation which plays into the broader effort to erode trust in academia.

(9/9) The US alone does not need to be the world's police. It should seek the assistance of allies and partners to maintain global peace and norms. A return to spheres of influence and a willingness to cede global power to hemispheres would fundamentally alter the world we all live in.

(8/9) The development of large, slow cargo vessels has been done under the assumption that the United States Navy would defend the free flow of maritime traffic without the risk of state or non-state piracy. This promise, however, must be upheld by the rest of the world, not just the United States.

(7/9) This capability has been degraded, however, with the impressive buildup of PRC denial capabilities stretching as far as the second island chain. However, ceding strategic waterways to states such as the PRC or Russia would likely be catastrophic for international trade.

(6/9) Simply put, no other branch of service can do what the Navy can do diplomatically without a serious risk of unnecessary escalation. The Navy's amphibious capabilities and abilities to strike deep inside nations allow for deterrence in a way that bomber planes do not.

(5/9) If the navy is transformed into a hemispheric power, another impact is on diplomacy, deterrence, and maritime trade. No other branch of service has a greater diplomatic aspect to it than the Navy, be it humanitarian assistance or signal via freedom of navigation operations.

(4/9) The obvious answer is that it will obviously impact how the US military prepares for war and operates. If the government's policy is that the US is now a hemispheric power, rather than a global power, then the need for incredible power projection changes substantially.

(3/9) But how does this change if the US policy shifts to a Victorian-era belief in spheres of influence? Does a 21st-century Monroe Doctrine include military operations in the Western Pacific? How does this impact defense R&D? Doctrine? Tactics? Training?

(2/9) Over the past decade or so, it has been generally accepted that the United States would seek to defend Taiwan's sovereignty in the event of invasion. There are many reasons why the United States would seek to do this, but at its core is the fragile international semiconductor supply chain.

But wait, it gets worse. Reported from The Wire yesterday afternoon:

It can also be found through almost any other means of buying books.

I’m telling you, the book is incredible and is a book I will most certainly read multiple times.

The question isn’t just how to fight in space—but which model of space power endures. Is the U.S. advantage in commercial dynamism sustainable, or does China’s statist approach offer greater wartime durability?

#Commercial innovation gives the U.S. speed and adaptability. Yet it also creates vulnerabilities: companies can be coerced, disrupted, or even targeted. In a long great power competition, are market-driven models enough?
