    Rule of thumb when it comes to combating conflict is to be as minimalist as possible. There have been conquests in history that occurred without a single drop of blood shed, surely that’s not beyond modern rebels. The first people to go extreme lengths come off as needy, if you know what I mean.

      True, but it’s not something you should completely shy away from, either.

      “Speak softly and carry a big stick” isn’t just advice for international diplomacy.
