Probably some Sun Tzu thing that says this, you know, when your enemy is killing itself, don’t intervene.

“Never interfere when your enemy is making a mistake”

It’s said to be a modern variation of a quote from Napoleon. The earliest version being:

“In that case,” said Napoleon, “let us wait twenty minutes; when the enemy is making a false movement we must take good care not to interrupt him.” - Qouted From 1836 History Books on “French Revolution” about a Battle in 1805.
