25yrs research/practice in Terror/CT, Islamic Law/Theo, Narrative & Identity - now strategic vulnerability assessments

@ColinPClarke Hmm 🤔 I see her point, but AQ’s strength was always the franchise model with a flexible adaptive narrative. Naturally, that makes it hard to centralize, but it avoids the brittleness of narratives like the Islamic State’s. Her core thesis can be demonstrably true and false.

@CH_Events @PatriciaMary @ElBaradei @lindseyhilsum Wow, @lidseyhilsum really knows nothing about these things - or giving her the benefit of the doubt is intentionally obtuse.

@ITAAirways said “not possible to fly internationally round trip for less than $700” - well, we managed it the month earlier just fine. ITA error? Be ready to lose money 💰

[76Keeper @76Keeper]

Booked a round trip #flight on @ITAAirways - paid for it, flew across the #Atlantic and now they inform me I don’t have a return flight. Claim no supervisor exists when I call. #scumbag #lies #airline #scam? Cost me $750 😢

@BRICSinfo Ah, so they’ve caught up to 1988 Radio Shack. Well played.

@CTCWP @NCITE_COE interesting juxtaposition of definitions and categories - definitely worth a long-read this weekend. Curious how Salafi-Jihadis were parsed to avoid doubling the AGAAVE-RMVE numbers.

@Charles_Lister Easier to recruit generally unwilling candidates when you’re stealing all of the aid meant for them 😕

[76Keeper @76Keeper]

@SkyNews to clarify whether this is posturing, curious what borders are they recognizing?

@DivergentOption on my to-do list this year - now that I'm not working directly in the field anymore👍🏽

[76Keeper @76Keeper]

I'd like to comment on the uselessness of this AI article but it's as useful as most academic work these days. However, it does indicate perhaps we need to look more deeply into issues that've plagued humanity for thousands of years rather than merely publishing without purpose

@paul_haine have to make up for the 70% silica in your table-salt somehow ;)

Nice of the White House to catch up. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@hoffman_bruce @sara_harmouch unlike factions like the Taliban and Islamic State, AQ has crafted a far more resilient narrative. It’s not as dynamic as IS’s, but is also less brittle as theirs proved to be. Not as ethnocentric as the Taliban, so less constrained by geographies.

[76Keeper @76Keeper]

@sara_harmouch @NATO Ah, missed opportunity for me 🙁. I should’ve asked Steve for an intro. I only stopped by for a couple minutes.

If we were all on this sheet of music Russia would have no choice but to… what’s the doctrinal term… oh yes, un-ass

Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin was asked about a potential off-ramp for Russia to end the war in Ukraine. Her reply:

[76Keeper @76Keeper]

@ZaknafeinDC Quibbling over who started the fight is nice, but illogical

[76Keeper @76Keeper]

@ZaknafeinDC If we believed war was immoral, Bradley never would’ve been sent. That said, we’d also wage war far differently if we truly believed war was, or could be, moral 🤷🏻‍♂️

Better red than… wait, I feel like I’ve missed something. Why is the #Russian consulate in #NYC (of all places) graffitized?

@combatmeatball Has anyone chimed in with “the most painful and soul sucking job in the military” caution?

I’ve never done it, but when I asked the same question you did, the former PAOs in my network started rioting 😜
