As Russia heads south in Kharkov the Nazi Kiev regime heads north from the south. Then Russia will head south west of Sumy. More Nazis will head there from the south. As these feints are underway the real offensive towards Transnistria will take place cutting off supplies from Odessa. By that time there will be but Zombies left as there won’t be any Nazi reserves left. Death by a thousand cuts. The symphony of war.

I like that notion of symphony. I studied music. (Classical). The Russians are symphonic. The Americans are doing rap.

Some people, organizations, agencies tried to discredit Scott. Maybe this is why he is sometimes a bit “bold” with statements like “ask the Boss” etc. I agree more to what Loon is writing, this is the way to make it very difficult for the careless lunatics to use nukes.

Maybe that's how Ritter thinks, maybe not. "Seems" like a convenient strawman for the disquisition. You sucked me in with Boyd though, with what I think are his most inspiring words. "Do you want to be somebody, or do you want to do something?" have stuck with me for decades. Every time I pass Boyd Hall on the flight line at Nellis I gotta smile. But his challenge seems to me to be more a moral than a conceptual one. As for the linear thinking stuff, it may be less linear thinking than imagination leavened with intelligence: the ability to grasp complexity and see relationships. Popular dichotomies themselves tend to oversimplify and are in themselves "linear."

For most people it is imagination leaved with intelligence. "Most people". Boyd, however, was not "most people". His challenge was first conceptual; then in his later years, moral. Despite his contributions, he was never promoted beyond colonel. Linear thinking obviously comes in several forms. Non-linear thinking includes "lateral" thinking, "exponential thinking" and "dialectical" thinking. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7874007/

Notice the conduct of the War by the Russians is very different than anything I’ve read in the past as you mentioned.

Military targets only are attacked sparing the people who had no say in thinking about what life they wanted.

A new economic order respecting this aspect of humanity.

The coming June elections in the EU , USA ‘s in the fall, utter corruption, and the unravelling of the USA dollar Ponzi scheme are all part of this war as much as the weapon side .

Looks creative .

Deadly for those who can’t perceive the truth however..

It's hard to see the Big Picture when you're a linear thinker.

"Rhizome" thinking was a concept created by the philosophers Deleuze , Guattari. "Something in the world forces us to think. This something is an object not of recognition but of a fundamental encounter. What is encountered may be Socrates, a temple or a demon. It may be grasped in a range of affective tones: wonder, love, hatred, suffering. In whichever tone, its primary characteristic is that it can only be sensed. In this sense it is opposed to recognition.”

Ukraine as it stands now still has enough gas in the tank to inflict massive casualties on any big arrow Russian offensives. In my view, Russia allowing the Ukraine army to absorb ammunition on the east side of the Dnieper is the strategic way to achieve victory. The horrible logistics the Ukrainians face in sustaining their eastern front is a gift to the Russian army. The Western money funnel will run dry and with it any military hardware for resupply. (Are you listening Israel?)

The electoral politics in Western states are going to be very interesting in the coming decade. The U.S. does not have to import popcorn so I'll be provisioned.

> We have really messy minds.

I beg to disagree.

We just have a different order and systematics that seems chaotic only to linear thinkers.

As you can see, I am a deep thinker. Socrates ask me, "What is truth". I replied, "
