Detente is a Stupid Concept Created by The Mind of a Slow Child

"Fight fire with fire" is perhaps the most asinine thing ever said.

The literal perspective is ridiculous. You fight fire with water and by eliminating the oxygen (which is, in the firefighter's parlance "letting fire eat itself"). Imagine trying to put out a fire with a flamethrower and some gasoline and you see how dipshit the idea is.
