About Rogue Systems Recon

Welcome to Rogue Systems Recon!

This publication applies ecosystem and general systems theory to global policy problems, with a primary focus on Putin’s genocidal assault on Ukraine. It publishes weekly, usually Tuesday or Wednesday Pacific Time.

War, a struggle between competing policy systems, acts as a horrifying natural laboratory where scientific insights are rigorously tested. The conflict in Ukraine has triggered rapid evolution in military affairs, highlighting the dangerous obsolescence of many social science theories on human conflict. Rogue Systems Recon's core mission is to articulate the power of a systems-based approach in non-technical language, identify errors in conventional thinking, support Ukraine’s defenders, and develop a new global security institution: Earth Forces.
