Make us the laughing stock of the world and destroy any trust, respect, admiration.
Denigrate us every day and in every way.

This is sometimes done as part of a deliberate military strategy.
Winning is not enough.
The enemy must be ground to dust and denigrated in a humiliating fashion.

Who benefits and how?
