Kinetic Decapitation as Network System Disruption

Description

John Robb explains:

"The US has turned networked systems disruption into a doctrine. It is kinetically decapitating (either capture or kill) the senior leaders of targeted states to force regime collapse. John Robb.

The kinetic decapitation strikes (capture/kill) that targeted Venezuela and Iran indicate that the US has adopted networked systems disruption (the disruption of critical nodes to cause systemic collapse) as its new national security doctrine.

Here’s why;

• Networked systems disruption has a high ROI (return on investment). In a complex, networked world, relatively inexpensive attacks on critical nodes can collapse large networks (in this case, a state), causing massive damage.

• It’s safe, particularly if you don’t care about the damage it does to the people in the targeted state. In fact, it is becoming safer and more effective as technology advances, such as autonomous drones and AI-fueled intelligence-gathering.

• This makes it a repeatable model. Rinse, repeat against new foes or against the same foe if they resist coercion with very little delay or expense (all while operating business as usual at home)."
