Burton discloses How Not To Get Invaded Even If You’re A Tinpot Dictator Who Craves Power:

The goal of all you actions should be to make people fear not only the short-term effects of a war
to take you out, but to fear all the crazy shit you might do if they launch one. Acting like a
rational leader will get you killed playing this game.

America and the West don’t fear rational leaders of small countries; they can either be bought off
or overthrown with few complications.

America and the West rightly fear crazy-ass motherfuckers with a long history of irrational behavior
who apparently don’t give a damn what people think of them, especially ones who might or might not
have nukes and who’ve shot all the people who know for sure. If they fear you, they’ll leave you alone.

His media supporters ? that be just about any Danish newspaper ? still seem to think that the fact that in just about any area he touches upon, those who are regarded as the foremost experts in the field by their peers are skeptical of him, can easily be countered by the argument that the Economist gave his book a glowing review.
