"The Art of War": "This intermittent war model is part of Trump's strategy"

Jornal Económico29 August 2026 at 11:00

The article addresses Donald Trump's international strategy, analyzing it in light of the classic work "The Art of War," written by Sun Tzu. The title indicates that the concept of "intermittent war" is considered an integral part of the former US president's strategic approach.

The analysis suggests that Trump adopts a conflict model that alternates between periods of tension and periods of calm, a tactic that, according to the article, would be aligned with ancient principles of military strategy. This perspective compares Trump's political and economic actions with tactics described in Sun Tzu's treatise.

The article appears to explore how Trump's foreign policy decisions, including sanctions, tariff threats, and diplomatic maneuvers, can be interpreted as part of a calculated strategy of intermittent war, where pressures are applied intermittently to obtain negotiating advantages.

The article's content is associated with a video that further develops this strategic analysis, relating Trump's methods to classical military concepts.
