Hola, cómo podría poner esto, gracias.

“We didn’t know our opposition,” he said. “We didn’t understand the Chinese; we didn’t understand the Vietnamese, particularly the North Vietnamese. So the first lesson is know your opponents. I want to suggest to you that we don’t know our potential opponents today.”

"No conocíamos a nuestra oposición", dijo. "No entendemos el chino, no entendemos el vietnamita, en particular el vietnamita del Norte. Así que la primera lección es conocer a tus oponentes. Quiero sugerirles que hoy en día, no conocemos a nuestros oponentes potenciales."

“we didn’t know our opposition, No conociamos a nuestros opositores,

Explanation:
oposición creo que se usa mas en temas politicos "La alianza, junto con la oposición..."

Pienso que es mas correcto en temas diplomáticos la palabra opositor. Aunque contendiente podría usarse en el caso de que el conflicto esté marchando en el momento.

Saludos.
