Interesting for me, is looking at the death of Qassem Suleimani, through the lens of Diplomacy (the game).
- Suleimani, managed to build a broad coalition across many countries against a stronger power.
- Not against coordination when dealing with daesh
- Major power got kurds to do the all the work then walked away (yet again)
- Pre-emptive strike - expecting your opponent to do something - so get your revenge in first
my 2p.
