“Fit yourselves for battle, prepare for war.”
I think its already been declared! We just won’t acknowledge it.
Be not hasty to enter battle. It is more important to win. Below are many wise words. Some are mine, but most are Sun Tzu’s from the Art of War. Understanding these words facilitates better political strategy planning.
“If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.”
“If his forces are united, separate them.”
The best wars are fought by not allowing the opponent to know there is a war in process.
“So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.”
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
“Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting.”
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”
“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
“Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer”
“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”
“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”
“When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.”
“Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:
1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”
“Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.”
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”
“The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”
“One mark of a great soldier is that he fight on his own terms or fights not at all.”
“Ultimate excellence lies not in winning every battle, but in defeating the enemy without ever fighting.”
“If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.”
“Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.”
“To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.”
“Thus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him.”
“All is fair in love and war”
“In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack—the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers.”
“Convince your enemy that he will gain very little by attacking you; this will diminish his enthusiasm.”
“Rouse him, and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find out his vulnerable spots.”
I do not believe this is a race war however one race in particular has apparently been hand picked to fight it by proxy. This war is between the lawless and the lawful. The battle lines are obscured because chaos is the aim of our enemy who desires only to see the world burn.
