but then even lowering to their dodgy methods doesn't garuantee victory...just ask the russians...who done some horrible things to the mujahadeen in afghanistan and are still doing to their opponents in chechnya...and are still getting their asses severely whooped

Killing a lot of people just makes the survivors hate you more. The only way to do it is to do it right, not just half.
Half ass tactics like burning a few people will do nothing. Blow an entire town to smithereens and just watch how quickly people surrender. When one of your soldiers gets killed you kill an entire street, when a platoon gets attacked you kill an entire block when a high commander gets killed you execute an entire town....
That will make people think twice, and lower support because they will fear you. And if they can't raise an army for a full out war they won't stand a chance and will stop quickly enough.

Then we can take the undesirable people by train into death camps and have the final solution.

Sounds cool 😄
You get the trains I'll get the people to build the railroads before we execute them... With luck a lot of them will die while working on the rail roads, will save us the money of having to gas them

If we widen the definition of what an undesirable person is, we could run our factories with slaves labor. 😐

Exactly
Eventually people will stop being afraid, and give in to thier hatred and anger. very Tyrannical Empire has crumbled eventually. Every tyrant who has ruled through fear has either lost power due to being assassinated, or due to lashback from his or her subjects.

Stalin & Genghis Khan come to mind. Probably a hell of a lot more but I don't feel like thinking right now

"Khan-nnnnn! Khan-nnnnn! Khan-nnnnn...!" - Cpt. Kirk
Genghis Khan has a bad and undeserved reputation... He was actually somewhat of progressive/liberal ruler. Read up a bit if your interested or you can just Google 'Genghis Khan Liberal', there's a few decent articles that populate.
-'Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World'
-by Jack Weatherford
-He [Genghis Khan] promoted social tolerance and humanitarian values, outlawing torture, abolishing the sale of women, granting diplomatic immunity, and establishing free trade. He even built schools and championed literacy (thanks to Genghis Khan, Mongolia today has a higher literacy rate than the United States).
-Genghis Khan even promoted all faiths, exempting religious leaders and institutions from taxation. He wasn’t merely trying to keep the peace; he believed that every religion had something significant to offer. “Just as God gave different fingers to the hand,†said his grandson, Mongke Khan, explaining Mongol religious toleration, “so has He given different ways to men.â€
Anyhow... back to topic.

and he still killed entire villages just to make the next one surrender. Point is fear worked. It worked with Stalin as well.
