    At Wednesday’s hearing, the measure got a boost from P.M. Azinga, a Mesa resident who said she taught in China for five years. “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fight,” she said, quoting from the ancient Chinese military treatise by Sun Tzu. That rang a bell with Sen. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, who is a retired service member and called himself “a student of Sun Tzu.” What that philosophy involves, Borrelli said, is “encroachment, either through purchase, or their grab a little, nudge a little, grab a little, nudge a little.”

    Oh shit we've got a Sun Tzu student here.

      man, I love it when army dumbfucks start considering themselves warrior-philosophers because they read a few Sun Tzu and Clausewitz quotes

      [Sen.Tyler Pace, R-Mesa,] questioned what, if anything, might attract Chinese interest.

      “Other than Sedona, I don’t know what else they would want to buy,” Pace said.

      But, but, but, Sun Tzu said my desert metropolis pumping water from Colorado is strategic... right? :liberty-weeping:

        "If you can do something beneficial, do it."

        My god, truly a genius, if every General read Sun Tzu there'd be no war because they'd realize all battles have already been determined in advanced.

        (Yeah I don't get it either)

        Honkies are obsessed with conquest because that's the only contribution they've ever made to the world

        It's the equivalent of cops saying they have "special firearms training" because they shoot a box a year for qualifications. Patting themselves on the back for knowing the very basics of something they think is cool.

          I mean, have you seen how far away they can merc your dog now? Their firearms training is definitely benifitting someone.
