If you abuse friendlies, assets and citizens, do not be surprised if you have no friends, assets or allies in the end.  

If the end result you want are red herrings, crimes against humanity, bankruptcy, economic depressions, apocalyptic wastelands and damnation, then by all means continue ur continuous abuses, malfeasances, cruel and unusual treatments.  

No lights have ever been created by or thru abuse, torture or cruel and unusual treatments; 

Because abuse, torture and cruel and unusual treatments are not inspirational or creative in nature, but destructive.

P.s. 

If you've imagined yourselves as thieves and pirates, you have only stolen your children and grandchildren's future prosperity and plundered their peace and salvation (destroying, interrupting, blocking the process of light creation).
