I was having this conversation with Tim and I've had this conversation with you and just all the way around, when I talk to people, it doesn't matter if it's at an airport or in a restaurant or standing in line at a store, they're talking. And they're talking about crazy town. They're feeling like everything is just breaking down. They're feeling like people are not relating. They're feeling like they aren't being heard. They're feeling like politics is out of control. They're feeling like the news media has just gone completely insane. They're feeling like they're being censored if they say certain things. And why is this censorship happening? And they're feeling like things are just degrading. And it doesn't matter if it's supply chain issues. It doesn't matter if it's energy issues. We're talking gas, oil, you know, things that make things continually move. These things are breaking down too. And everybody wants to know why. And everybody wants to know who's doing it and how are they doing it and COVID and all these things. But what we're talking about, and I encourage everybody who's watching, who's listening to go research just a couple things. It doesn't have to take you a lot of time. but go research irregular warfare, go research hybrid warfare, go research unrestricted warfare, and then understand that all those things sit beneath an umbrella and that umbrella is called fifth generation warfare. Now there are several generations of warfare, just like there are several generations of people. You have the boomer generation, you have the millennials, you have the Gen Xers. Well, just in the same way, there's also generations of war. And right now we are currently in the fifth generation of war. The first generation of war started out as pre-gunpowder. It was just guys sitting on a field, charging each other with swords and knives and spears and hacking it out. That was first generation warfare. And then we got gunpowder. Gunpowder took us into our second generation of warfare. And there's some disparaging. There's some disagreement on where first and second and third and fourth all start and end. But this flow continues to happen through the generations. As second generation, we got gunpowder. That means we're starting to move into guns. We're starting moving into artillery, cannons, things like this. Third generation warfare. Now we're getting into long range artillery. Now we're getting into things like trench warfare, aircraft, you know, flying machines. That's in third generation. Fourth generation. Now we get, or excuse me, in the fourth generation and then in fifth generation, We get into things like terrorism. We get into things like nuclear war. That's back in the third generation, fourth generation and fifth generation. You know, that's what we've just seen. State and non-state actors competing for and their own way to accomplish a mission, to accomplish change inside of countries and outside within the world.
