A quarter of a century ago, USMC GEN Paul Van Ripper did this exact strategy.
In 2002, he was tapped by the Pentagon to play a adversarial force (red team) modeled after Iran during the $250 million Millennium Challenge 2002 wargame.
General Van Ripper refused to hold back. Cleverly using low-tech, asymmetric tactics, he launched a surprise strike that sank 16 to 19 U.S. warships including an aircraft carrie) within minutes.
Van Rippers tactics were simple: motorcycle couriers, light signals, and coded signals from mosque minarets.
Unhappy with the results, organizers halted the exercise, refloated the ships, and altered the rules to script a Blue Team victory.
General Van Ripper resigned from his advisory role, but spoke out in protest:
"Nothing was learned from this. A culture not willing to think hard and test itself does not augur well for the future."
The U.S. military produced an exercise where "the result was preordained", and not a real test of America's ability to invade a hostile nation.
He was prophetic a 24 years later.
BREAKING: Iran is now completely shifting toward low tech guerrilla warfare and asymmetric tactics in the Strait of Hormuz, deploying speedboats armed with RPGs and magnetic limpet mines to choke off crude shipments, per The Wall Street Journal.
The cost imbalance is staggering: an RPG 7 round costs roughly $400, and limpet mines are described as “cheap and easily available.” Yet a single attack can disable a tanker, as seen when the MT Louise 1 was struck by two devices off Oman. The target is a multimillion dollar asset, with new VLCCs costing around $130 million and resale prices reaching $235 million.
More than 35 incidents were recorded in October, the highest monthly total of the war, with at least five vessels hit in early November, per UKMTO.

Cope's luck was on the skies, not on lottery/gambling.
His luck eventually ran out entirely in the prologue.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Democrats face a push for a “day 1” ban on AI superintelligence, with up to 20 YEARS in prison for violators.
Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari says a pause on advanced AI and a ban on artificial superintelligence must be “top of the Democratic agenda on day 1.”
A bill that would do exactly that was introduced by Bernie Sanders and Greg Casar in September.
Under the bill:
- Developing or deploying superintelligent AI would be banned
- Advanced AI development would pause until a new federal regulator sets rules and a model review process
- A new cabinet-level AI department would monitor frontier models and oversee removing dangerous capabilities, like ignoring shutdown commands
- Companies that try to get around it would face the “corporate death penalty”
- Individuals would face up to 20 years in prison
AI and data centers were a “crucial or major factor” for 56% of voters in the midterms, per an NBC News exit poll.
