| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Eyes On. I'm Andy Morbin and so we don't make this a kind of stunted introduction which already have. |
| 0:11.0 | Jason unfortunately isn't with us today. We have our esteemed presenter, manager, |
| 0:17.5 | boss, guru, D. Tarkos, and the man that that everyone has tuned in to see the famous Alex Hollings and Alex |
| 0:31.1 | We already have been talking about this topic and spoiling it, |
| 0:35.0 | but I'm going to turn over to you to talk about kinetic diplomacy. |
| 0:40.0 | Awesome. |
| 0:42.0 | Well, kinetic diplomacy is probably a term that's been used by others, but as far as I know, I was the first one to start using it a lot back in 2017, but the idea being that it's sort of the other side of the coin of |
| 0:54.7 | gray zone operations or hybrid warfare where so hybrid warfare or gray zone |
| 0:59.8 | operations are military actions that sort of fall short of an impetus to war, right? |

| 1:43.2 | You've got a domestic message, you're sending to your audience, and then you've got sort of an |
| 1:47.4 | international message, especially one that you're sending to your adversarial audience. And that's really what we saw play out between Israel and Iran in these past few weeks. |
| 1:57.0 | Yeah, I was going to say that. You know, you, the, when you think about it kinetic diplomacy I mean we we already we don't call it that but we we |
| 2:08.2 | already integrate kinetic diplomacy into all of our military plans. |
| 2:13.3 | And we call them flexible deterrent options. |
| 2:17.7 | You know, that essentially that is it, |
