The Superpowers Often Behave Like Two Heavily Armed Blind Men Feeling Their Way Around A Room, Each Believing Himself In Mortal Peril From The Other, Whom He Assumes To Have Perfect Vision.

The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their
way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other,
whom he assumes to have perfect vision. Each tends to ascribe to the other
side a consistency, forsight and coherence that its own experience belies.
Of course, even two blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to
speak of the room.
-- Henry Kissinger
