A practical guide to decision-making when you do not have perfect information, perfect power, or perfect morality. Documents the framework of existential utilitarianism (survival threats justify extreme measures), pragmatic utilitarianism (everyday trade-offs), the power dynamics framework (coercion, submission, deference, independence), and the hierarchy of options (liberation, conversion, genocide). Includes the correction that independence is not a virtue but a failure to stand with the free world. Also includes the strategic doctrine: all non-democracies are threats, deterrence is not an option, target proliferating non-nuclear states first, defer nuclear states until they cross the red line, accept the cost.
