THREAD 1: PUTIN'S PREEMPT Of the 23 fundamental strategies of influence it's the Preempt that Putin is using to justify a #Ukraine invasion. One of four freezing plays, the Preempt steals what a rival owns, in this case the #peacekeeping role that Western allies claim. @webradius
THREAD 3: PUTIN'S PREEMPT. Here's Standard Guidance for countermeasures to the Preempt. @selectedwisdom
THREAD 4: PUTIN'S PREEMPT. Of the options for countering the Preempt, the pressing play called Contrast is worth considering.
THREAD 5: PUTIN'S PREEMPT. The Contrast play might counter a Preempt, but the negatives are huge. It takes time and ignores the power of emotion...which is what's fueling Putin's annexation plan. Study the Contrast here: playmakersystems.com/playmaker-syst…
Trump runs high-engagement plays, i.e., influence strategies that are largely from the diverting (green), pressing (purple) and provoking (red) families of elements as seen in the Taxonomy of Influence Strategies (below).
Biden plays a different game. His strategies are of the "fit" cluster of plays (second row, below) that resonate and create agreement. He tests for reactions, informs to educate, invokes to give color, challenges to be better and, different from Trump, he concedes errors.
