    They should offer this in high schools. A unfortunately large segment of the population does not know how to analyze these situations and yet often votes on their basis. Anything you that decides your vote, should be part of our education system. Clausewitz is essential to understanding the world today.

    Yes. Clausewitz is still applicable, but you need to specify to what nation and their philosophy. Read it and you'll understand. Also suggest you do it in german.

    You raise an interesting point. Not being fully bilingual, I could not say. I would say while reading von Clausewitz in German may add to the experience- the important thing is to read him- whatever your language

    interesting that you come up with something like "you don't know how to counter his statements" (which isn't the topic after all since simply everything is exactly reverse) most likely because you can't counter my statements^^

    My personal experience, reading the work in the original German is great and all but it does not make it all that much easier to understand. A complex and profound work in any tongue,

    yes definitely, the MIC of the USA consumes 53% of descretionary tax spending. It constantly needs enemies and foreign interventions to justify these expenditures. They just happen to be poor 3rd world countires in order not to avoid unacceptable losses.

    I also suggest you read it in German. You will only fully grasp it then, in fact, to fully grasp it you would need to have an understandment in the clausewitz-contemporary german Psychie, which is already hard enough for modern germans, because our national character and integrity has changed. Language can never be 100% translated or the essence transfered to another Language and philosophy. By translating work somebody did in his mother tongue, you will also alterade its spirit and feel.

    Ja, das ist richtig. Hier ist kaum Jemand stolz auf Deutschland. Meiner Ansicht nach gibt es dafür Heute aber auch kaum mehr Gründe.
    Deutsche sind ein Schatten ihrer selbst und haben (fast) alle ne Macke und Komplexe durch den Weltumgang mit unserer Vergangenheit.

    Clausewitz was roundly disproven during WWII, and flies in the face of the Art of War which through history has produced far better results.

    • @Wolfenkuni

      What part of his theory was disproved? you obviously have not understood a anything of Clausewitz theory.

      The US actually only began to study Clausewitz seriously in their military after WW2, while the Soviets had studied him extensively and it bore results. Today the many strategists in the US military swear by Clausewitzian principles. If you're talking about Sun Tzu's text when you say "The Art of War", you're really out to lunch. Have you read the Art of War? It's interesting but nowhere near the scientific value of Clausewitz.

    Sometimes his stupidity helped his generals, because he thought differently. Most of the time it hindered them. Example Eben-Emael.

    it doesn't have anything thing to do with my understanding. its about clausewitz. or are you one of those guys who would argue with lets say creationists about their views and opinions? i know People have the right to believe in what ever they like... but others then have the right to say why it's stupid too.

    Clausewitz's premise is an intellectual bear trap. If war is considered as a subset of politics and politics being the paradigm of all human relationships. One has to question the premise or be caught.
    It can be true for pre-industrial economies where requirements for an active military force could not be sustained without impoverishing the economy. It is also a golden age of ambassadors. Alliance was sought before conflict as self interest. This moderating factor has eroded away with time and industrialization
    If we consider war as non desirable per see then war can be a failure of alternatives like diplomacy and by extension a failure of government. An army's legitimate use of force is derived from government.
    Bear trap for bear trap Mr Clausewitz.

    Same could be said of 'life' in general.
    Over 200 million killed by govt. in the 20th century alone and they want our guns?
    In a free country there’s no such thing as a group whose motives cannot be questioned.
    Understand this if you understand nothing else: They consider us to be livestock.
    We need to focus on taking our country and governments back so we can figure out who to hang.
    Don’t understand? Follow my links. Read the quotes page first.
