• Galula's January 1950 memo predicted the Sino-Soviet split
• Bullitt's network included De Lattre, Luce, and other anti-communist figures
• Galula proposed economic blockade as psychological warfare against China

"A newly published memo from French officer David Galula to William Bullitt, dated January 1950, reveals his early geopolitical analysis predicting a Sino-Soviet split. Galula, later famous for counterinsurgency theory, argued that the USSR would alienate China. He proposed an economic blockade to turn Chinese public opinion against the Soviets. The document is contextualized within Bullitt's anti-communist network."
