It happens at a lot of levels:
A lot of the time it shows up in the conduct of warfare. It is an IED if it is used by the weaker enemy to inflict damage on a stronger enemy. IED's are used because you don't have the power to go toe-to-toe with someone. I can't for the life of me figure out why the big boys can't seem to figure this out. When I was in, the troops bitched about booby traps, said that they were despicable. Wanted the enemy to come out with their AK's and insurrection and face armored columns mano-a-mano.
The enemy is never, ever stupid. Get that through your head. The enemy is never, ever stupid and he knows that if he faces you on your terms, he will invariably lose. So IED's are an important part of the menu de jour of the weaker party
In a political sense, Donald Trump is an IED. He was elected by my people, the deplorables, the folks that the powers-that-be feel should most certainly not have any say in their own governance.
