Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

Summary

This quote suggests that perceptions and beliefs play a significant role in the dynamics of power. It implies that power is not solely derived from one's actual capabilities or resources, but also from the perception of the enemy or those who pose a challenge. By creating an illusion or exaggeration of power, one can potentially instill fear, deter aggression, and maintain a position of strength. In this context, the enemy's perception of an opponent's power becomes a valuable tool and a means to assert control or influence.
