Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Let’s all go back to why we can’t unwind these forever wars. cnn.com/2020/01/11/mid…
Let's expand this reboot to Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Somalia and ask if the the methodology applied actually adds to the longevity, complexity and unsolveability of these Low Intensity Conflicts. We are seeing a rise in first world weapons used in third world wars. 
This first world fear used to be expressed as "what if they have the bomb" but it is more likely to be found as a threat when other nations can afford automated systems operated by incompetent planners, pilots, trigger pullers and mercenaries. nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/real…
Dear media: #ErikPrince is just chumming the Title 50 waters using you to pimp what he has failed to do in Darfur, South Sudan, Azerbaijan, Libya, UAE, Somalia, etc. He has planes to sell, man camps to build and people to kill. MBS and MBZ, are you listening? Iran awaits.
MBS and MBZ have no COIN capabilities and no doctrine or staffing. Iran is all about small, lethal proxies. Prince thought he had it all figured out back when MBZ paid him $13 million in cash (new, sequential banded C notes) every month for Reflex Response.foreignpolicy.com/2018/05/07/the…
When I did Prince's first interview in 2004 for LTK, not many people paid attention to him describing what he is still selling today. A self-contained army in a box with aviation, mentors, construction etc all designed to quickly and efficiently kill large numbers of insurgents.
