> The War should be an instrument of Politik

> The aim is to render the opposition politically helpless or militarily impotent by bringing concentrated mass upon the enemy's weight of continuity. Identify what will destroy the enemy's weight of continuity and destroy it.

> The course of war will tend to favor the party with the stronger emotional and political motivations. Bring about a state of total war by winning these battles amongst your own people, ie set your entire dominion into a state of war readiness.

So, isnt war just you forcing a political opponent to submit to your will? You and a poltical opponent disagree so much that it comes to a war? And isnt the war all about basically taking control of land and boxing in your oppoenent into a spot where they are eventually forced to surrender because they literally cant fight you because they are boxed in?

So isnt it possible to win a war without killing or even injuring anyone?

This is the only right answer.

>>3130880
Logistics x3. The concept is almost cheating, in that's it's broad enough to encompass the whole of war.
