Wasn't it phil hunt who wrote: What would be sensible strategies/weapons for a middle-ranking country to employ if it thought it is likely to be involved in a war against the USA or other Western countries, say in the next 10 years? I think that any middle-ranking country that went up against USA/The West using military weapons would get seriously stomped on. I doubt if any country would attack the USA, though many would want to deter a US attack. The only way to have a chance would be to win the propaganda war, turning popular opinion in the USA against contesting the war. Indeed propaganda is important, but a bit outside what I've been discussing. Provoke your opponents into making the first media-visible aggressive step, and make yourself appear to be implementing passive resistance, or using a minimal defensive response. Meanwhile, if you can find any targets that are not media-visible (i.e. the US government can't publicly admit that the targets exist) then attack them aggressively. That's clever, I hadn't thought of that. -- "It's easier to find people online who openly support the KKK than people who openly support the RIAA" -- comment on Wikipedia (Email: , but first subtract 275 and reverse the last two letters). |
