There’s an old lesson often attributed to Machiavelli; don’t reveal your full hand, and don’t make threats you’re unwilling to or cannot enforce. The point isn’t aggression, Moderate America, it’s credibility.
Whether you’re dealing with adversaries abroad or conflicts at home, the same principle applies. Say less. Mean more. Follow through when necessary.
That’s not about force. It’s about discipline.
