This is like, everyone's strategy in every war. But what ends up happening (every single time) is nobody believes them except their own analysts and they end up convincing themselves that they're doing great - only to get beat upside the head by reality when it becomes undeniable...

Something like:
> sir, that was our last missile
> what do you mean, last
> we don't have any more, sir
> WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE
...

I think people are starting to wake up to it. Sophisticated decision makers (investors) are well aware. What's perpetually amazing is how supposedly serious geopolitical analysts are forever getting tricked by propaganda that is being created just down the hall from them.

Always has been..

I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors
