I think you are talking about how they plan for battles.
Not which battles they want to get into.
A military dictatorship will always choose fighting over almost any other solution. They don't build shiny toys as trump called them this week, to look at.
Naw, it affects which battles they want to get into as well. Now for the whole military dictatorship, we aren't there and I hope we don't get there in the next 4 years.
