If anyone believes that causing chaos to destabilize an opponent or country is a viable strategy, then those individuals are sorely mistaken. 

Creating nothing but misery and liabilities will only bring destruction across the board, not assets and not prosperity or peace.

This is especially true if the opponent or country is far richer with more assets to lose.  

Whereas opponents with fewer assets will experience greater losses at steeper prices and slower recovery times, if able to recover at all.

P.S.

And if you think that assets mean only monetary assets then you are again sorely mistaken. Brain power is the main power.  EQCQ is the engine.
