The divide and conquer approach

(From Google)

The Divide And Conquer Approach

The Latin phrase “Divide et impera” is as old as politics and war. The divide your enemy so you can reign approach is attributed to Julius Cesar — he successfully applied it to conquer Gaul twenty two centuries ago (no typo).

===========================

The larger the target, the better the chance to divide. Simply from a PR standpoint, known and popular with the people, the easier it is for people to take one side over the other.

Large institutions, such as our Military Posts and Generals, can be persuaded to choose one side over the other, by a simple suggestion, from the Chain of Command. That is divisive for our country.

In my opinion, removing the active military troops alone, does not lesson the military/police build-up around this White House. Yes, it is serious.

All one need to do is "divide et impera"?
