建立 establish (determine, discover, etc.) Explanation: The word establish in this context means the same as determine or discover through careful thought and deliberation of the available facts, historical antecedents, plausible intentions of the enemy, etc. Before one can reach a proper decision about whether to engage in war one must first determine the nature of the war. Apparently Clausewitz is of the mind that war is a natural phenomena that one can actively embrace according to the available alternatives (strategic decision making). |
