It's an old rule in nature: not the strongest will survive, but the one who better adapts to the environment

Any hierarchical organisation will tend over time to rigidity and procedures, such that these become its over-arching raison d'être. But wartime, as Vadim points out, produces explosive and revolutionary changes, usually in spite of the prevailing military ethos. Certainly in WWII Churchill went out on a limb to encourage 'out-of-the-box' thinking, bypassing established military command structures.

Whether western nations still possess the necessary industrial wherewithal to exploit these opportunities is a moot point; my own view is that 'our' leaders have either been complicit with the Russian bandit regime or simply complacent, so continue largely to push the problem as far down the road as they can while blowing hot air in the usual orifices.

I believe the phrase 'zombie idiots' has been trade-marked by Tom..?
