  1. It's common among people that I personally call the Machiavellian mindset. People preoccupied with 4d chess, they'll equate politics with actual war, and... They'll overvalue big and intimidating strategic weapons. Nothing necessarily wrong with this logic, but it can produce some bizarre and costly errors. Like how in the middle east governments burn their cash on tanks, planes, and missiles they can't afford, have little need for, can't build themselves, and don't know how to use.
