Strategy

Why we should be looking at Total Defense?

For a small state with limited man power and resources the key aspects of National Security is not Military Defense but Social Resilience and Civic responsibility.

“For small states, sovereignty is not inherited. It is practised.”

Sinhabahu examines how smaller nations preserve freedom of action amid rivalry, coercion and technological change.

A nation that can absorb disruption without losing political coherence gains time—and time is strategic power.
