    The only thing they can win at is in situations where they have already set themselves up to be unopposable.

    Seems to be a theme with settler states and colonialism. Sounds very much like how Israel can manage to genocide children, but is terrible at fighting actual armed adults. Or how US cops can gun down an unarmed civilian who is running away from them, but sit on their hands outside, afraid, when faced with taking on a school shooter.
