We are wired to overestimate our abilities and underestimate our opponents'.
This is true for people and nations, especially where slogans like "you can do anything..." and"no one loses" are common.
But it's important to point out that the repercussions of such miscalculation are severe.
For example, the US currently believes it can win the war (pick one), when it objectively can't, no matter how you twist or turn it.
Entering a big war with this error is a recipe for a disaster.
