Harald’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Boiling Moat: Urgent Steps to Defend Taiwan

The Boiling Moat: Urgent Steps to Defend Taiwan by Matt Pottinger

14 highlights

If just one lesson could be drawn from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, it must be that deterrence would have been a lot cheaper than war.

Harald’s Quotes

“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

“The truth is that there was very little patriotism in France in 1793, if by patriotism we mean a willingness to suspend party conflict in wholehearted support of the government against foreign foes. To many Frenchmen the government seemed to be the worst enemy. In supporting it they would only encourage a body of men whose principles they detested, men who had outraged their monarchist sentiments, persecuted their religion, disrupted their business and made their property insecure.”
― R.R. Palmer, Twelve Who Ruled: The Year of the Terror in the French Revolution
