Discovering friends and allies, discarding false ones and making new

hitherto-unknown degree. But the very complexity and subtlety of the

This is one of the stupidest statements I have ever seen in print. War
is a good way to discover who your friends are? Waging war is a good way
of dealing with subtle tasks?
Sharia law makes at least as much sense as this.
