idk paying people to win games for you is a pretty good strategy, don’t know how well it’d translate to irl military strategy though lol

The Hitlerists had to get stalingraded before they started bullshitting people with their Wunderwaffen pipedreams, but i guess you can also just start with this while you’re in the planning stage for your next war.

Edit: next wars, sorry. ofc they’ll do the usual nazi shit and open up as many fronts as possible.
