Grateful to @NavalInstitute’s Proceedings for letting me share analysis on Iceland’s successful campaign in the Cod Wars as part of the Maritime COIN Project. It’s worth a read and contains lots of lessons for today’s gray-zone challenges. Short 🧵 (1/N) usni.org/magazines/proceedin…

Beware of the dictatorship of 'doing'! Let us learn to take a break during the day: let us take a moment to be with ourselves and with the Lord. Let us find some kind of 'inner desert' amidst the noise and activities of each day. #Angelus
This was a really fun discussion involving one of my favorite case studies: the Cod Wars, between Iceland and the UK. Thanks for hosting me @lmm20071 @proj_maritime.

The Pentagon released previously nonpublic videos and photos of more than a dozen maneuvers by Chinese fighter jets harassing unarmed U.S. reconnaissance planes patrolling lawfully in international airspace. wapo.st/46SLY9j

Great tribute yesterday for #specialops at @fenwaypark by the @RedSox. Need for SOF is definitely still there for today’s irregular challenges @USSOCOM @DavidMaxwell161 @GlobalSOF @SOFNewsUpdate @DLKnoll @JJSchroden
Tremendous trip and great example of SO/LIC combining its policy and service-like responsibilities for maximum effect. @JJSchroden @Dolivermore @seanmcfate @DavidUcko @SteveFerenzi @AtwellKyle @lmm20071 @SOFNewsUpdate

Agree with a lot in here by @SteveFerenzi. Cannot conflate “competition” with available means or put cognitive stovepipes (Ferenzi term I want to adapt) around complex international dynamics. Thanks for breaking this down. @DavidUcko @RobinsonEricD @lmm20071 @NDU_CISA
As an @ArmyStrategist & campaign planner—this “full spectrum of conflict design” is an unhelpful construct 1/

Governance and bureaucracy are never sexy topics, but today’s posture hearing on #specialoperations highlighted what SOLIC is doing for @USSOCOM defense.gov/News/News-Storie…
More to be done, but great to see the Service-like activity get its recognition. @JJSchroden @SteveFerenzi @DavidMaxwell161 @SOFNewsUpdate @AtwellKyle @Dolivermore @gt_richmond @lmm20071
Excited to get the print version of this month’s @USNIProceedings and get a mention on the cover. But even more excited by a congratulatory letter from ADM (Ret.) Stavridis. Certainly hope to keep contributing to, and learning from, a great community of practitioners and scholars

Thanks, @NavalInstitute, and all who have taken the time to read about the Cod Wars and my analysis on what made Iceland successful when they looked weaker on paper.
Thanks for picking up my Cod Wars article first published yesterday in @NavalInstitute @USNIProceedings! @NOAA @FishNews @IUUFishingLatAm @NavalNews @usembreykjavik

Overwhelming lethality wasn’t enough to win the contest, so the UK eventually took a political defeat. Lots of parallels today — effective statecraft and creative operating concepts can again win the day where lethality cannot do the trick. (7/N)
