Irregular War
In his seminal work, "The Prince," Niccolò Machiavelli famously posited that there are two ways to fight: one like men, with laws, and one like beasts, with claws. He then went on to compare the prince to animals, pondering whether they should emulate the bravery of the lion or the cunning of the fox. However, Machiavelli's analogy only scratches the surface of the diverse range of approaches to warfare. In reality, there are many ways to fight, each with its unique characteristics and advantages. I want to tell you abut use of regular and irregular warfare, drawing parallels with various animal analogies to illustrate the diverse tactics employed by nations and non-state actors in pursuit of their strategic objectives, say for example the complete defeat of the “Russian” Fakeration in Ukraine.
Regular warfare, exemplified by the lion, is characterized by conventional military forces engaging in direct combat with their adversaries. This approach relies on brute strength, superior firepower, and adherence to established rules of engagement. The lion, with its majestic mane and powerful roar, embodies the traditional notion of military might. However, this approach can be costly, both in terms of lives lost and resources expended. Moreover, the lion's reliance on brute force can make it vulnerable to more cunning and adaptable opponents.
In contrast, irregular warfare, personified by the cunning fox, involves the use of unconventional tactics, such as guerrilla warfare, terrorism, and sabotage. The fox, with its quick wit and stealthy nature, represents the ability to outmaneuver and outsmart one's opponents. Irregular warfare often favors the weaker party, as it allows them to exploit the vulnerabilities of their more powerful adversaries. The fox's cunning and adaptability enable it to thrive in environments where the lion's brute strength would be ineffective.
However, there are other, equally effective approaches to warfare that do not fit neatly into Machiavelli's lion-fox dichotomy. The vicious alligator, for instance, represents the use of asymmetric warfare, where a weaker party targets the vulnerabilities of a stronger opponent to inflict disproportionate harm. This approach is exemplified by the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by insurgent groups against conventional military forces. The alligator's ambush tactics, lying in wait for unsuspecting prey, illustrate the ability of asymmetric warfare to catch opponents off guard. Nice subway you have there Ivan. Be a shame if something happens to it.
The shrewd rat, on the other hand, embodies the concept of hybrid warfare, which combines conventional and irregular tactics to achieve strategic objectives. The rat's ability to navigate complex environments, exploiting weaknesses and avoiding detection, represents the hybrid warrior's capacity to adapt and evolve in response to changing circumstances. Hybrid warfare often involves the use of proxy forces, cyber warfare, and information operations to create a multi-faceted threat that can be difficult to counter. Oh, Buratiya, how do I love thee…
Finally, the clever rabbit represents the use of non-violent resistance and civil disobedience as a means of achieving political objectives. The rabbit's speed and agility, allowing it to evade predators and outmaneuver rivals, illustrate the ability of non-violent movements to outflank and outlast their opponents. This approach, exemplified by the civil rights movement in the United States and the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, can be a powerful tool for effecting change and challenging entrenched power structures. Plak plak!
In conclusion, Machiavelli's analogy, while insightful, only scratches the surface of the diverse range of approaches to warfare. it is one more example of an intellectual leaving someone a bit in the dark so as to get his way. Tsk tsk. The use of regular and irregular warfare, as well as asymmetric, hybrid, and non-violent resistance, each has its unique characteristics and advantages. By drawing parallels with various animal analogies, we can better understand the complex and dynamic nature of modern warfare, and the diverse tactics employed by nations and non-state actors in pursuit of their strategic objectives. As the nature of warfare continues to evolve, it is essential to recognize the importance of adaptability, creativity, and cunning in achieving success on the battlefield.

Ukraine will win “by any means necessary.”
Sun Tzu, Cribbed:
Supreme excellence is to win without fighting, for then your opponents resources become your own, and your own resources are spared.. But if you know yourself and know your counterpart and are compelled to combat then you will win all.
First they laugh at you.
Then they will mock you, ridicule you.
Then they will hate you. They will lie, and insult you, and try to twist your words.
Then they will fight you, and they will try to kill you, and they will not fight fair, they will also try to kill your relatives.
You may or may not survive. If you do: Then you win. If you do not: you still may win.
You are likelier to win if you survive. Self preservation is a key first principle of war.
