How to win at war:

  1. Start negotiating with foe
  2. Bomb foe during negotiations
  3. Declare victory, tell friends to fuck off
  4. ?
  5. Beg friends for help, because you have lost both tactical and strategic control of the situation. Threaten partners for not helping.

Sending the price of gas to the stratosphere, replacing the petrodollar schema by petroyuan, increasing the military spending by a huge margin, and antagonizing the entire world aren't enough of a distraction to guarantee people won't be thinking about it in the elections.

But doing that with 9 months of time for it to impact all the business and family budgets in your country is.

Then you have lost both the battle and the war.

And knowing is half the battle.
