“I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.”
-William Tecumseh Sherman
I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. The indicators and warnings on the board are lighting up more often now than in the past.
I did a series this year called Storming America (Episodes 37, 41-43, 49-50) on the Chasing Ghosts podcast where I laid out the probabilities and architecture of an up-scaled 7 October 2023 Gaza-Israel complex terror attack on the US and the West. A complex terror attack is a coordinated multi-dimensional attack that takes place at the same time in multiple locations. I do not infer this hasn’t happened in the past but the perfect storm of new technology and weapons employment is changing by the decade. The element of synchronization of simultaneous attacks against soft and hard targets really compromises the decision loops and reaction cycles of centralized governments crippling their timely response to these attacks.
From Michael Collins’ complex attacks on British occupation forces in the UK-Irish war at the turn of the twentieth century and Beslan and everything in between, synchronized non-state military actors are accelerating their impact in this new era. I have spoken to the leveling of weapons technology and salvo competition that is increasing the effectiveness of developing and third world countries and their concomitant military capabilities against very sophisticated first world armies and navies.
And the simpler and less sophisticated militaries are winning again and again. Terror attacks are going through the same evolution.
The wind-up to these events is starting to cascade in frequency and ferocity that will not relent for the foreseeable future. It may time to bring back air raid sirens of old. And don’t think for second these new threats aren’t the result of the US meddling constantly in other nation’s affairs over the past 150 years.
Dateline Pakistan:
More than 70 people have been killed in four assaults amid several reported incidents of violence in Balochistan province in southwestern Pakistan, according to military and police officials.
The country’s military said 14 soldiers and police, as well as 21 militants, were killed in fighting after the largest of the attacks, which targeted vehicles on a major highway in Bela, a town in Lasbela district.
This is coming to the US and the West. Newton’s Third Law is a stone cold killer.
Prepare accordingly and buckle up.
