WANA (Sep 22) – If the enemy can accurately identify and assess the opponent’s decision-making system, they will be able to, with minimal effort and cost, manipulate the cognitive framework of their adversary. By doing so, they can introduce specific data into the opponent’s analytical and decision-making system to influence subsequent calculations.

 

By disrupting the opponent’s perceptual system, the enemy minimizes and eliminates their sensitivity to the violation of red lines.

 

This anti-strategic flexibility in the face of the enemy is justified by the “tension trap,” “war trap,” and various pathological fears, and is cloaked in the guise of “rationality” and “prudent caution.” What remains of our red lines?

 

If you do not attack the enemy’s strategy, the enemy will infiltrate yours.

 

In critical, history-making moments, only a few nations have the fortune to take on a role in shaping history. They choose whether to be “players” or “game-makers.” Whether to play a role in the field set by others, or to arrange the field themselves.

 

But there is also a third possibility: a nation that neither knows itself properly nor has mastery and faith in its abilities and capacities. Such a nation registers its name as the “played” and earns the eternal curse of history.
