Wow, that's certainly an extrapolation of the high ground advantage

It reminds me of another sort of analogous quote by Nathan Mayer Rothschild in 1815 along the lines that he didn't care which puppet was in power, it was whoever controlled the money supply that controlled everything (and he controlled the money supply)
