• Blitz and guerrillas infiltrate a nation or regime at all levels to soften and shatter the moral fiber of the political, economic, and social structure. Simultaneously, via diplomatic, psychological, and various sub-rosa or other activities, they strip away potential allies thereby isolate intended victim(s) for forthcoming blows. To carry out this program, a la Sun Tzu, blitz, and guerrillas:
– Probe and test adversary, and any allies that may rally to his side, in order to unmask strengths, weaknesses, maneuvers, and intentions.
– Exploit critical differences of opinion, internal contradictions, frictions, obsessions, etc., in order to foment mistrust, sow discord and shape both adversary’s and allies’ perception of the world, thereby:
• Create atmosphere of “mental confusion, contradiction of feeling, indecisiveness, panic” …
• Manipulate or undermine adversary’s plans and actions.
• Make it difficult, if not impossible, for allies to aid adversary during his time of trial.
• Force capitulation when combined with external political, economic, and military pressures or
• Weaken foe to minimize his resistance against military blows that will follow.
