OODA loop can be useful. But also can be over-used.
First, most organizations aren’t fighter jets. They are aircraft carriers. Big. Slow.
Second, most teams are cross-functional. Cyber may OOD. But it’s front-line teams that Act.
Defenses still need to hold and win, even when (especially when) decisions and actions are sluggishly delayed.

Smokey got to be a big pugilist of a cat. He wasn't afraid of anything. We had some mean dogs people raised as guards and let loose on the neighborhood and they would chase and attack me sometimes. Smokey would fight the shit out of them to protect me.
He tolerated my brother but he didn't like most people otherwise.
But with me, he was always docile, always baby. He never bit or scratched me. He was a good boy.

Based on his prior dealings with #creditsuisse, #Trump and #Bessent would turn to the Saudis for stability if the #USD collapsed. Obviously he would overstate assets and hide liabilities but they would still write the check. #US #capitalism has turned into the 'Bank of Mommy and Daddy', but modern economists don't care as long as they can feel and smell the dollar bills.

Plausible deniability is fading and the media are turning on Biden.
For years, they sat firmly with their thumbs up their behinds. Suddenly, it's “we've always wanted to report on genocide but we're just smol beans who report what the US government approves.”
The saddest part is that 71,000 figure is almost certainly low. It's mostly indirect tactics that end up killing Palestinians.
Anyway, let the rewriting of history begin.
