Explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordian_Knot

The cutting of the Gordian Knot is an Ancient Greek legend associated with Alexander the Great in Gordium in Phrygia, regarding a complex knot that tied an oxcart. Reputedly, whoever could untie it would be destined to rule all of Asia. In 333 BCE, Alexander was challenged to untie the knot. Instead of untangling it laboriously as expected, he dramatically cut through it with his sword. This is used as a metaphor for using brute force to solve a seemingly-intractable problem.

And yeah, that sentence i wrote is a knot itself.

The Gordian NOT: If he not play by the rules, he’ll rule over Asia.
