Isolating your enemy is a great way to beat the competition. A country with no allies will be decimated; a business with no allies will be render useless. We can define most business allies into suppliers, packagers, shippers, distributors, sponsors and shareholders. Isolating even one of these allies will put a heavy dent to the enemy. Finding new allies takes time and immense trust. Start isolating your enemies from their allies and their businesses will start to fail.
Observing your enemies allies is a crucial aspect in winning the competition. Not every alliance is perfect, and not every one is satisfied by it. Alliance can be made and can be broken through manipulation or bad relations. Breaking off your enemies alliances is the best way to hurt them.
Removing one of your enemies business allies; whether it is suppliers, packagers, shippers, distributors, sponsors or shareholders can destroy your enemies business. Try to give your enemies allies a better deal so they would switch side. Try to know what they want and give it to them to earn their trust and respect. Only then will it be easier to suggest something to them.
Isolate your enemy to prevent them to obtain power. Without allies, your enemy will become weak. People without allies will become extremely vulnerable. Isolate your enemy from their allies to beat the competition.

I have found myself at both ends of the line - isolating and also getting isolated
Definitely works. But to isolate worked out better then getting isolated 
Haha, of course! The best way not to be isolated is to establish strong bonds and be almost everywhere!
I like this strategy. It reminds me of the art of war
Check out this website on the ideas of the late USAF strategist,John Boyd.:www.d-n-i.net.He’s the dude who came up with the OODA loop.He’s got some interestin’ views on grand strategy & how to isolate your opponent(s).
Thanks, I’ll check it out YT!
I’ve been thinking about this strategy for a little while now. I’m thinking Karma will come back and get me
You can always have your enemy join you in the end if he/she submits to you. Maybe that would lessen the karma.
Tony,karma’s gonna come get you one way or another.We’re all sinners,dude.
