"Shock and awe" nghĩa là gì?

"Shock and awe" = bàng hoàng và kinh hãi -> nghĩa là dùng chiến thuật gây bất ngờ, sợ hãi, hăm dọa để đạt được phản ứng nhất định từ kẻ thù.

Ví dụ
During "The Price Is Right" primetime holiday special on Tuesday night, the Derricks family found themselves winning big and taking home three different cars. During the Triple Play, the family won a Volkswagen Jetta, a Jeep Cherokee Latitude Crossover, and a Cadillac CT4 Luxury. The cars totaled around $83,735 altogether. Fans immediately took to (quen với) social media with their shock and awe, in states of disbelief (không tin) that the family could win all three cars over the course of one game.

Are there less destructive alternatives (biện pháp thay thế)? Of course there are, and especially if the city slows down and stops trying to do a “shock and awe” build-anything-now approach. 

In another White House administration, these pardons may have sparked political scandal, but outgoing President Donald Trump’s shock-and-awe waves of clemency (lòng nhân từ) relegated them to local news and second-day leads.

You know, their concern turns to complete surprise and shock and awe and happiness. So, you know, we were happy to go and fulfill that.
