I learned about salami slicing becouse during the early years of communism in my country, the main party kind of ate the other smaller parties one by one, slowly creating a state with only one possible party to vote for becouse party creation was also banned outside already existing ones, of which there was only one
I also learned about the fabian strategy thanks to oversimplified's second punic war video

Not only that but a lot of militaries trained their non-senior members to be independent and take on the initiative

[AmGroot]

You should do "Every Olympic Sport"

I like using shock and awe in videogames, ngl, usually sacrificing defense for the strongest attack.

[ThePixelman]

I love this channel it explains everything so clearly with no fluff

[Leongon]

The decapitation strategy has proven really easy to backfire when used against cartels and other organized crime for example, because the replacing in command is often unwise and aims to take control by force, by proving to be tough and ruthless, thus is makes things worse as not that organization survives but makes decisions based on intimidation first making people suffer excessively, while the previous leader often was taking care of the population and controlling the amount of damage they were doing to the area they had control over so have some level of consensual support from civilians.

The different studies of mathematics would be neat...also I am a math teacher, so there's that reason as well.

[albabhuzaifa]

The colours used to represent salami slicing are very subtle. U are amazing keep it up! Love from Bangladesh

[twylanaythias]

Technically, ALL warfare is attrition - the end goal is to render your enemy unable (or unwilling) to continue fighting. Combat casualties, fortification failures, stealing/stopping supplies, or just drastic demoralization, the aim is to persuade your enemy that they cannot possibly win.

[makmet]
