Diary of a CEO podcast: expert Robert Pape

Pape.. why is that familiar?

Is that Pelosi's hammer buddy?

I haven't watched this one, but there is a clique of about a dozen academic, military, intel, and political types going on many of the same podcasts. I noticed that Pape started popping up with them, I think on Danny Davis Deep Dive and Mario Nawfal.

Much of their published work is critiquing each other’s published work. Big circle jerk keeping themselves relevant.

I didn’t watch the video but…

Pape is very influential in military air strategy analysis. At Air War College, his writings are referenced frequently, and at least one course requires a paper discussing his work. Another course requires a ‘critique of Pape’s critique’ of some of the ‘founding fathers of AirPower’.

If you were wondering, Pape generally advocates for a “denial” strategy as opposed to the “bombing to win” strategy.

Though it may ’feel’ like we’re bombing to win in Iran. We’re not targeting civilian centers trying to break the morale, rather we’re bombing launch sites of Iranian air defenses and air attack. I think we’re mostly following a ‘denial’ strategy with Iran right now.

Very informative...thanks

I have to watch a1:30 long video to respond to a 2 sentence post?? Thats against the Geneva convention or something dude

I feel like this has been our strategy for the longest time. Deny then lie and keep everyone on their toes at all times.
