Key Notes
Jiang treats scorched earth as a repeated Russian pattern: it defeated Sweden, Napoleon in 1812, and Germany in World War II by sacrificing territory and supplies rather than winning directly in the field.
Dante's answer, as Jiang presents it, is that God sacrifices himself because every other path falls short of justice: the self-sacrifice both proves love and teaches humans remorse.
