Trump is using the wrong tactics according to Sun Tzu [View all]

Trump's crazed rants remind me of these teachings from Sun Tzu

“Bravery without forethought causes a man to fight blindly and desperately like a mad bull. Such an opponent must not be encountered with brute force, but may be lured into an ambush and slain.”

All warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when capable, feign incapacity; when active, inactivity. When near, make it appear that you are far away; when far away, that you are to lure him; feign disorder and strike him. When he concentrates, prepare against him; where he is strong, avoid him. Anger his general and confuse him. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

If anyone asks why Trump is losing control of the war, this is it. Iran is using these tactics.

Bonus quotes that are applicable:

"Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat."

"The general who makes many calculations in his temple wins the battle, The general who makes few calculations beforehand loses the battle."
