It’s still working for me...
Wow. Thanks for posting that. Wish I could copy and paste it. :)

No person can be a military genius without understanding Sun Tzu. The Leftists have been using his psychology to destroy the USA from within....esp. by emasculating our military, normalizing males who sodomize (dominate) other males and bestiality, and who reject reality and pretend that women are interchangeable with males and there is no difference between males and females (throwing out Reality/Science and Reason).
Machiavelli, a genius, knew that if you promote vice (sodomy) in the military, it will destroy it. It is essential to only promote Virtue in a military, since power will generally corrupt anyhow. (Virtue to Machiavelli was only that perfect reasoned ethic system, established only by Christianity).
I love how he talks about Alexander The Great, and says he wouldn’t be surprised or baffled by the foe we face today.
He said this in context of how nothing is new under the sun. As he says, technology throws in wrinkles here and there, but warfare is a primitive environment that has similarities then and now, as does human nature.
I also appreciated his comment about our quitting the battle, washing our hands and saying “our job is done here”. He says that we can say that, but the enemy gets a vote too, and they aren’t done with us.

I, too, studied Sun Tzu.
One of the things he advocated, Western countries almost never follow.
To paraphrase Sun Tzu, “As you move through the enemy’s country, pillage it so that your forces grow stronger while the enemy becomes weaker”.
Applied to the Middle East, I think that means seizing the oil resources as we attack. What if the islamonazis knew that we would take their oil if they were implicated in attacking us (specifically thinking of the Saudis)?
Applied to a political situation, I think it is wise to go after the financial portfoilios of leftist foundations and individuals who have committed crimes. For example, I think the misdeeds of the Clinton Foundation should result in their resources ending up in the Federal Treasury.
This is why I think it is so important to prosecute crimes such as vote fraud, so the government can seize the assets of the perps.
Awesome. I’m excited about the Mattis pick. Can’t wait to see what he does. Put good people in power and good things happen.
Mattis’ comments are powerful, indeed.
Well, God certainly encourages that in the Old Testament...usually something to any direction He gives. :)
