    So did Sun Tzu even write the thing about “never interrupt your enemy when he’s destroying himself”? Because that is pretty cool. Which of course does not reflect at all on this Xhitter idiot.

      Nah that’s generally attributed to Napoleon “Never interupt your enemy while he is in the process of making a mistake”.

        My copy of the book has this translation: “To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.” which is not exactly the same, but in a similar spirit.
