Risk Strategy versus Tactics Part 1

The US military is supposed to have the best military minds working for it. Yet, they seem utterly incapable of understanding the concept of 'strategy'. They mix it up with 'tactics'. Since our politicians have no clue about war strategy, either, we end up making the same mistakes all previous empires make: trying to hold as much land as possible, using military force. I use the 1957 edition of the game 'Risk' to explain how this works.

Risk does not reflect American cold war thinking and nuclear war. Risk was invented by a Frenchman in the 1950's. It's a broad simulation of warfare in the 19th century. There is no nuclear warfare in Risk.

All I hear is political bullshit from an old ho bag. And none of it has anything to do with strategy in the game of RISK. Fuck the wogs. Fuck the gooks. Fuck the chinks. Fuck the reds. Fuck the zulus. That is what you do in a game. Fuck them all. No one is interested in where you think all the American bases are all over the world. Talk game strategy or get back in the kitchen and cook for your family. Stupid bitch.
