Despite the ongoing military assault on Iran, President Donald Trump insisted the U.S. hasn't "started hitting them hard" yet, and said that "the big one is coming soon."Trump made the remarks Monday morning in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper."I just got off the phone with President Trump," Tapp...
Ah yes, the genius tactic from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War - always tell everybody what you’re gonna do
Sun Tzu: I must apologize for Trump. He is an idiot. We purposely trained him wrong as a joke
How do you like his balls to your fist method?
If you go by Sun Tzu he has done literally everything wrong.
If you want your enemy to acquiesce you give them an out, but instead they’re pushing them against a wall, which only strengthens your enemies resolve since there’s no other option.
That’s why Obama’s nuclear deal was working. But these apes in the Trump admin don’t understand, they only understand “bug smash” levels of reasoning.
I did like when he said they were so “successful” at trying to force regime change they killed every option they felt was agreeable. Great, you’ve successfully started a forever war instead of the quick regime change you wanted. Success!
We joke about Sun Tzu’s advice being obvious, but it’s the advice that an emotionally driven narcissistic nepo baby needs, because that’s who historically has been in charge of militaries. Anyone who understands people knows that cornered people don’t surrender unless the risk benefit feels worth it, but people who don’t understand other people’s mindsets and are focused on glory/conquest are going to think that you can bomb a regime into peaceful surrender and that they’ll gladly give up their leaders. No, you make moderates into combatants like that.
Iran was having mass protests for liberalization. We could have been the heroes offering an out to the leaders and helping establish a liberal republic giving favorable deals. Make Iran into an ally for less money than war. But no, that’s not a dick measuring contest that shows how tough they are and so now a bunch of children will die and Iran will continue to hate us for good reason.
The Art of War was literally written for fuckass nobles with zero common sense.
Do you have any better ideas on who to make generals? /s
But yeah, facials nobles, bloodthirsty morons, dick measuring dipshits, and anyone who thinks the fact that they have power means they’re good at things are the exact audiences of the book. That’s also why it blew American businesspeople’s minds.
