      I heard it once before under the context of insurgency in Ukraine… but didn’t know where it originally came from.

      It essentially alludes to insurgency. The resistance knows who the enemy is. But the Regime doesn’t know who the insurgents are. So if they attack the wrong people. They just waste their time and generate more resistance.

        Huh, seems like the British knew who their enemy was (Ireland, Kenya, etc). And they were supremacists, so I dont think they cared at all about killing innocent people there

      Assassination. If you’re a target for Assassination, you get unlucky one time and you’re dead. If you’re an insurgency, you get to try as many times as it takes.
