Combining Geoeconomic and Kinetic Warfare

War, Clausewitz explained, is the continuation of politics by violent means. But violence is only one tool in a nation’s war arsenal. Other tools include economics, cyber warfare, diplomacy, information warfare (what used to be called propaganda, psychological warfare, and disinformation), espionage, counterintelligence, and subversion. Americans are an impatient people, but impatience in war can lead to the loss of political and popular support — which is essential for democracies to achieve victory.
