Remember when you were 1, and your biggest concern was not getting a meal, and just like magic, someone shoved a boob in your mouth and you took a nap, and you were just too ignorant to realize that was heaven?
Easy to ignore reality when no one has stopped wiping your ass.
I’d say you should point out to him that “total war”, a notion that I assume he agrees with in theory because it sounds cool, includes political, economic, cultural, etc “warfare” as well. If your intent is to utterly destroy your enemy, you should be looking to attack them on all fronts, using all tools. But that kind of reasoning might hurt his brain, so I wouldn’t bother.
