96562 - Some thoughts about Strategy

N. Lygeros

• Reality is only the tactical world. Vision is the strategic world. And Grand Strategy is the unthinkable world.
• It’s impossible to win a war at the operational level no matter what you do, because strategy is necessary.
• The frontline is the combination of two horizons at the tactical level. That’s why you need strategy in order to go beyond.
• When you have a strategy even your enemy is forced to respect you.
• Respect is the shield of strategy and war its sword.
• Strategy is bigger than the battlefield.
The framework of Strategy is History.


• The present is the horizon of History, that’s why you need Strategy in order to create the future.
The Sun of Strategy is beyond the horizon of History.
