@ Oblat:
You forgot 20) PowerPoint slide warfare and 21) Warfare warfare.
But I guess 20) is part of 7) and 8), and 21) is part of 6). Or, maybe warfare warfare is “restricted” warfare, kinda. Seems “international law warfare” would be, too.
WADR, I think maybe someone needs to bone up on the perils of Aristotelianism, or excess categorization. Like, try drawing a Venn diagram of these 15 modalities, and see where that takes you.
Sometimes it’s better to use fuzzier logic, and not overthink the problem, if there is one.
And if there really is some massive, covert, unrestricted war between the US and China, what would you call hanging a lot of bad paper on them, and then inflating our currency via a “stimulus” bill to make it all worthless? Would that be modality 2), 4), 9), 10), 11), or 15)?
Would it be a masterstroke of pure genius, or just a Chinese fire drill?

No, I dont think it is about how the Chinese will “attack” America!
I think it is rather more about how China is vulnerable to attack.
Both from Nation States, like America, but also (and more likely) from none nation state actors.

Good Morning Folks,
Is their anyone here old enough to have read this before. Welcome to” Mao’s Little Red Book 2.1″.
Anybody who grew up in the 60’s and had any political awareness what so ever has read “The Little Red Book”, it was a small book that came with a bright red vinyl cover, meant to be carried in one’s pocket and to read the inspirational messages of Chairman Mao, when ever he/she wasn’t involved in working for the people.
Towards the end of the 60’s a companion vol. came out by Cho En Lai called “The People’s War”. It wasn’t much of a seller, only a few dozen million.
It is said that “The Little Red Book was the most popular book of the decade with better then double the sales of all types of the Bible.
ALLONS,
Byron Skinner

Yes, many of those tactics have been in use even before there were nation states, but it misses the point of what the book was trying to do, which was to broaden the outlook of Chinese miltary planners on how to deal with the U.S.‘s perceived strengths(in my humble opinion).

>Watch out. Don’t let that big chunk of sky hit you in the head.
I think thats covered under 3) Enviromental Warfare
But Kevin is missing a whole pile of important one for instance:
16) Consultant Warfare — One of the greatest threats facing the DoD as we speak.
Not to mention
17) Pet Warfare
18) Customer Warfare
19) Bathroom Warfare
What I want to know is when I look at my self in the mirror each morning who’s to blame and how we are going to retaliate.
