War by Other Means GEOECONOMICS AND STATECRAFT
Robert D. Blackwill and Jennifer M. Harris
To compound matters, as economic techniques of statecraft have become a lost art in the United States, the rest of the world has moved in the opposite direction. Rus sia, China, and others now routinely look to geoeconomic means, often as a fi rst resort, and often to undermine American power and infl uence. In ignoring the ever- greater role of geoeconomics in the international system, the United States squanders opportunities and dilutes its own foreign policy outcomes. It weakens the confi dence of Ameri ca’s Asian and European allies. It encourages China to coerce its neighbors and lessens their ability to resist. It gives China free rein in vulnerable African and Latin American nations. It allows Rus sia to bend much of the former Soviet space to its will without serious answer from the United States

I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.
Our incomes are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.
Try to save something while your salary is small; it’s impossible to save after you begin to earn more.
I cannot sleep unless I am surrounded by books.
There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.
Anyone who says they have only one life to live must not know how to read a book.
