I think the problem is that you're basing the defence of your argument on a flawed definition of strategy. Hopefully, a dictionary definition will help:
1(1) : the science and art of employing the political, economic, psychological, and military forces of a nation or group of nations to afford the maximum support to adopted policies in peace or war (2) : the science and art of military command exercised to meet the enemy in combat under advantageous conditions
2 a : a careful plan or method : a clever stratagem b : the art of devising or employing plans or stratagems toward a goal
3 : an adaptation or complex of adaptations (as of behavior, metabolism, or structure) that serves or appears to serve an important function in achieving evolutionary success
(all from the miriam-websters dictionary at

Notice that nowhere does it mention 'resources'.
