structure of the war must be done in a manner to maximally use propaganda throughout the war. 4. The war and its end result depend on the moral-political and psychological capabilities of the population and military of the combatants. This law depends on how the political figures manipulate the reasoning of the war to mentally prepare the military and population. This is done by making the enemy seem unjust and educating the population about how the effect of nuclear weapons not as bad as it seems. Basically, it is a mental preparation for the nation as a whole so that there is 'positive energy' going into the war. Red national goals The national goals are found in Section V, Red Strategic Plan, of the declassified Proud Prophet government document. These were the goals that the Red Team wanted to achieve so any action taken during Proud Prophet was to be a step forward towards their goals. 1. Preserve the power of the ruling Communist Party. 2. Defend the homeland and ensure progress toward communism. 3. Defend acquired territories (Warsaw Pact countries) and further assimilate them. 4. Exploit every opportunity to expand RED control and disrupt capitalist control in order to shift the correlation of forces in favor of RED. Red Team strategic principles The following are found in Section V, Red Strategic Plan, of the declassified Proud Prophet government document. The 14 basic strategic principles that the Red Team followed were: 1. Foment dissension in enemy camp by supporting one or more internal dissident movements. 2. Do not support an ally if, in doing so, you will make him too strong. 3. Use the forces of allies, or even better one's enemy, to defeat the primary opponent. 4. Do not let your enemy grow too weak too soon if a third party will be the primary beneficiary rather than yourself. 5. Use propaganda and demands for concessions incessantly on the principle that familiarity with uncongenial subjects eventually breeds readiness to take them for granted. 6. Use terror on prospective areas to be conquered so the population will greet your conquest with relief. 7. Be flexible in approach and accept compromises as the basis for the new demands. 8. Use peace talks and truces as a time for regrouping, employing deception, and taking whatever advantage the opponent will tolerate. 9. Avoid two-front wars. 10. Be patient, do not ask or everything
