Are American administrations really as incoherent in their strategy as they are often portrayed? To a cynic, it might seem that way.
As Sun Tzu famously said, the best strategy is to win without fighting. But how can this be achieved?
And, if engaging in conflict becomes necessary, Sun Tzu also stressed the importance of understanding and dismantling the enemy’s strategy.
Historically, traditional strategies focused on breaking the enemy’s resistance by defeating their forces. However, some of the greatest victories have been achieved through different means.
Take, for example, the American War of Independence, where the U.S. won not by winning every battle, but by strategically losing some and emerging victorious in the most crucial ones.
Similarly, throughout history, other nations have employed unconventional strategies to achieve success, such as Ho Chi Minh’s campaign in Vietnam that ultimately led to the withdrawal of French and American forces.
But today, perhaps the most challenging strategy to counter is that of Hamas in Gaza, which has led to widespread suffering and destruction. Is there a way to defeat such a strategy?
In approaching this question, it’s worth delving into history and the lessons we can learn from past conflicts and their outcomes. How can Sun Tzu’s principles be applied to this modern-day challenge?
As these questions continue to be debated, it’s clear that the conflict between Israel and Hamas presents a complex and persistent challenge that will require thoughtful and creative approaches to resolve.
