In 1945, Adolf Hitler ordered his minister of armaments, Albert Speer, to carry out a nationwide scorched-earth policy, in what became known as the Nero Decree. Speer, who was looking to the future, actively resisted the order, just as he had earlier refused Hitler's command to destroy French industry when the Wehrmacht was being driven out of France. Speer managed to continue doing so even after Hitler became aware of his actions

quote:

The practice can be carried out by the military in enemy territory or in its own home territory while it is being invaded. It may overlap with but is not the same as punitive destruction of the enemy's resources, which is usually done as part of political strategy, rather than operational strategy.

The concept of scorched earth is sometimes applied figuratively to the business world in which a firm facing a takeover attempts to make itself less valuable by selling off its assets.[2]

Notable historic examples of scorched-earth tactics include William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea in the American Civil War, Kit Carson's subjugation of the American Navajo Indians, Lord Kitchener's advance against the Boers, and the setting of fire of 605 to 732 oil wells by retreating Iraqi military forces in the Gulf War. Also notable were the Russian army's strategies during the failed Swedish invasion of Russia, the failed Napoleonic invasion of Russia, the initial Soviet retreat commanded by Joseph Stalin during the German Army's invasion during the Second World War,[3] and Nazi Germany's retreat on the Eastern Front.


Does it ring a bell? What Trump is doing after losing the election? He tweeted recently "They won. But I Will not concede." Beware and be forewarned. The religious sect he belongs to are known to be vengeful in nature. Pray to your Gods for help. Just as the Pharaoh of Egypt during the age of Taurus, didn't concede for the people to leave egypt with Moses, Trump (the Taurean ) is playing this freakin drama.

Hehe we don't have a Moses of that time today. Perhaps it is the people who need to pray and act together so that the country could progress together as one soul.
