All of the anons, especially the impatient ones who are claiming nothing is happening, need to understand two basic principles here that are greatly in play:

1). Col. John Boyd and the OODA loop;

and

2.) Gen 4 warfare.

Understand those principles and how to use them and this whole battle becomes much, much more understandable and easier to decipher.

Until then you are a victim of both the OODA loop and the Gen 4 warfare you are trying to understand.

Understand both and the whole picture becomes crystal clear.
