I don’t see the point of commenting right now about the vote. But I do have a few things to say about the prisoner exchange and the first one is this: to those who are having fits about Russia releasing members of the Azov death squad I will only say this: Benjamin Franklin once wrote that “it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer“. And to those who will counter with the usual mantra about “show me the bodies” well, okay, you can see for yourself whom Russia got back, just click on these links:

YMMV of course, but I am personally very happy and even proud that the Kremlin got 55 Russian soldiers from the Nazi dungeons. They include, 2 senior officers (lieutenant colonel and major), 6 junior officers, 4 ensigns, 40 enlisted and non-commissioned personnel, 2 servicemen of the DPR forces and one serviceman from the LPR. There are also rumors about another 30 or so Russian soldiers, but so far their identity has not been released. Finally, there are high level negotiations for yet another prisoner exchange in the works between Russia and the USA. I hope and pray that it also will yield results.

I can almost hear the troll choir going “what about Medvechuk?! what about Medvechuk?!“. Well, what about him? He is also an innocent person who happened to be a personal friend of Putin. Did you really think (or hope) that Putin would abandon his friends?! Besides, while the western PSYOPs will say that “Putin freed Nazis in exchange for his pal Medvechuk” this is simply illogical since there is no way to prove how important Medvechuk was in this exchange.

You could ask yourself whom you rather have as a friend – Putin or anybody from Brandon’s gang or even any other western “leader” (well, Gauleiters for the AngoZionist Empire, of course)?

But then, again, if your sole goal is to convey “Putin bad! Putin really bad!” then you need neither facts not logic.

Whatever the actual math was/is and however the deal was finalized, I am 100% with Franklin on this issue. And I feel pity for those whose basic humanity has been replaced by ideological certitudes (I sure would not want them as “friends”!).

Now to some week-end music. There are SO MANY truly amazing musicians in the USA that one can live in this country for years and not even begin to know them all. Today, I want to share a few videos from US composers and interpreters whom I more or less discovered by chance and whom I absolutely love. Especially for those who do not live in the USA, I want to add this: a country and a people who produced so much truly beautiful music cannot be all bad! So listen to this (real, as opposed to MTV) US American music and feel all the kindness and beauty which flows from it!

So, here we go:

John Boyd on Patterns of Conflict and the OODA Loop

>26 Feb 2022 | Bob Gourley

John Boyd studied. He studied fighter pilot tactics, studied aeronautical engineering, studied bureaucrats and how to avoid their traps, studied evolution and biology, and studied history.

And Boyd synthesized in a way that only a real practitioner of war could to produce a briefing called Patterns of Conflict that is still having a big impact on the world today.

A full copy of the briefing is linked below. This post summarizes some key points worth reflecting on as the world views and reacts to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Quick Lessons From Patterns of Conflict

Evolution since the very beginning of life has been about competition. All animals, but especially humans, are coded to survive. Free societies should reflect that and understand we must survive on our own terms.

War itself is a human activity that can be studied and patterns of conflict can be deduced. Free societies should apply these lessons to ensure survival.

In dynamic situations, decision-makers should act fast. The Observe-Orient-Decide-Act model takes this into account and emphasizes that operations should proceed at a tempo that is inside the adversary’s OODA Loop.

Operating inside the adversary’s OODA Loop will improve chances of success because of the better faster decisions. Operating inside the adversaries OODA Loop also generates confusion and disorder among adversaries since they will be unable to gain situational awareness to fuel their decisions (also see: The OODA Loop Explained).

Throughout history, success on the battlefield has come when rapid decisions and actions and maneuver are able to cause confusion and disorder and stop ability of adversaries to make optimal decisions. While the OODA loop was developed in the early 1980’s and first sketched out in the mid-1990’s, it describes a process that is as old as organized conflict.

In war, strategies should diminish an adversaries capacity for independent action, or deny him the opportunity to survive on his own terms, or make it impossible for him to survive at all.

It is advantageous to possess a varity of preplanned responses and have forces trained and ready to adopt to changing situations.

Adapting to change cannot be a passive exercise, that leads to failure. Take initiative.

Early commanders, Alexander, Hannibal, Khan, Tamerlane, fought in ways very consistent with the writings of Sun Tzu, seek to win before the battle is fought and avoid protracted war. In war, emphasize swiftness of action, fluidity, dispersions, deception, shock, surprise. Maneuver is key. Leading with initiative is key.

Later commanders would possess technology enabling even faster action and more precision as well as better sensors and ISR, enabling more application of principles of maneuver. A theme throughout study of patterns of conflict is that those that master the principles of rapid operational decision making and dominance in the OODA loop achieve victory. Superior forces can and do win without these strategies, but it gets horribly bloody and requires overwhelming force. And the larger force can still fail.

Factors of moral of troops and the public are also critical and are influenced by rapid decision making cycles.

Keeping the adversary uncertain gives advantage.

Intelligence and ISR should be continuous before, during and after engagement to assess changing patterns of strengths, weaknesses, moves, intentions.

Failure to understand an adversary leads to disaster.

Application of lessons of patterns of conflict should start with an understanding of the types of conflict. Overall there are three major types: Attrition, Maneuver, Moral, as shown in this slide from the Patterns of Conflict brief…
