At Wednesday’s hearing, the measure got a boost from P.M. Azinga, a Mesa resident who said she taught in China for five years. “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fight,” she said, quoting from the ancient Chinese military treatise by Sun Tzu. That rang a bell with Sen. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, who is a retired service member and called himself “a student of Sun Tzu.” What that philosophy involves, Borrelli said, is “encroachment, either through purchase, or their grab a little, nudge a little, grab a little, nudge a little.”
Oh shit we've got a Sun Tzu student here.
- I absolutely do not understand Sun Tzu fetishism.
  
  It's definitely in the "it's been around a long time so it must be good or authoritative" camp.
  
  "If you can do something beneficial, do it."
  My god, truly a genius, if every General read Sun Tzu there'd be no war because they'd realize all battles have already been determined in advanced.
  (Yeah I don't get it either)
  
  Honkies are obsessed with conquest because that's the only contribution they've ever made to the world
