Russian Invasion - Salami Tactics | Yes Prime Minister
British Comedy
A short scene from the British sitcom Yes Prime Minister in which officials describe 'salami tactics' for invading a country slice by slice. Each small step is too minor to justify a major response.
HN uses it as shorthand for incremental aggression and escalation, in threads on geopolitics, trade and creeping encroachment.
