About what they talked about the Talvisota video: the video was briefly deleted after Finland's National Audiovisual Institute (KAVI) made a copyright claim on some of the footage used in the video and apparently some overzealous fans started sending death threats towards KAVI employees over the issue, to the point the Finnish police had to investigate. Ultimately it turned out to be a simple misunderstanding and the video was reinstated.

What the guy does not tell is that reason why the whole defeating the enemy without a fight was possible in the first place was due to art of war being written for a Chinese state using it against another Chinese state. When later on when Chinese dynasties fough against outside peoples they found Sun Tzu to be not very practical and as such at that time another treaty on war was written called "Questions and Replies between Tang Taizong and Li Weigong" which had lot more in common with what you would find reading a roman treaty on war.

Not really, it was written assuming war between civilised people but most people never achieved civilisation

13:06 Beautiful speech Kitt! I couldnt agree more, being 26 now, and learned the lessons the hard way as you said. Always try to be civil, to be calm and rational, to be respectful and aware of your surroundings. There will always be people that will challenge those, even from those we think are the closest to us, be it intentional or not. Yes, this path is hard, but it is worth it!

Totally agree....I do walk out my house representing myself, my family and my values!

[@najroe]

I have read it (and several others considered "classics" ) as well as debated topics with my fellows while serving.

I think he made the kings favourite concubine the commander. When the ladies first didnt take things seriously and messed up the maneuvers he explained things patiently again. The second time they screwed up he had the head concubine executed. The third time they performed as asked. But i could be missremembering too.

The video fails to meantion that Sun Tzu's art of war is not the oldest or the only art of war in China, it is actually one of seven acknowledged classics of warfare.

4:39 bruh got the whole thing wrong, it was Sub Bin who got his feets cut off, not his ancestor.

The idea of winning without fighting sounds like an economy of force strategy. That's what Russia has been doing against the Ukrobs for over a year, sitting on the defensive and steadily thickening their defences and their numbers in the field, and letting the Ukrobs break themselves making attacks although being much weaker. And before that, when they were outnumbered because when the crossed the border they were only intending to shock the Ukrainians into negotiating to implement the Minsk accords, they conducted Scythian retreats, moving out of the way of Ukrainians advances while pounding the lines they evacuated which they knew the Ukrainians would be moving into with their superior weight of artillery, missiles and FPS drones.
It also helps when you have superior mobility and can cut the enemy off from their supplies, in those earlier times when armies couldn't occupy continuous lines for hundreds of miles and had to move en masse from place to place looking for the enemy army for a battle in a particular place.
