Well, yes, there's nothing like "winning a war without shooting a single weapon", "winning a war before it even started" or my favorite "better than defeating your enemies is turning them into your new allies", also overcoming the conflict without sending your population to die.

@MC arrowtime Because we figured out that armed, ranged combat (javelin, spear, arrow or bullet) beats melee (tooth and claw) combat 99.9 percent of the time. Land predators (besides us) never figured that out.

Us humans don't learn from our own lessons why would you think others will?
