The Art of War, All Warfare is Based Upon Deception

The North Korea fat boy is nothing more than a puppet in China's plans to "Clamor in the East and attack in the West"

When faced with an enemy too powerful to engage directly you must first weaken him by undermining his foundation and attacking his source of power.

The source of an opponent's strength lies in wealth, resources, or manpower. If in wealth, cause him to incur expenses, if in resources, disrupt the lines of distribution, if in manpower, sow discord

When a country [USA] is beset by internal conflicts, when disease and famine ravage the population, when corruption and crime are rampant, then it will be unable to deal with an outside threat. This is the time to attack.

In any battle the element of surprise can provide an overwhelming advantage. Even when face to face with an enemy, surprise can still be employed by attacking where he least expects it. To do this you must create an expectation in the enemy's mind through the use of a feint.

You use the same feint twice. Having reacted to the first [mock attack war games] and often the second feint as well, the enemy will be hesitant to react to a third feint. Therefore the third feint is the actual attack catching your enemy with his guard down.
