~200 ships and ~16'000 men sounds pretty leonine to me? (and even the 4'500 militia at Tilbury dwarf an OpenAI or a YCombinator) TIL from where the brits learn

~200 ships and ~16'000 men sounds pretty leonine to me? (and even the 4'500 militia at Tilbury dwarf an OpenAI or a YCombinator) TIL from where the brits learned (the hard way) about "let's you and him fight": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada#:~:text=The%20Kingdom%20of,cost%20to%20England%2e https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada#:~:text=The%20K... (in later text note the use of elizabethan-era drones, fireships, leading up to the Tilbury speech*, as well as the providential arrival of a "divine wind" after it) [so from whom did Philip, by the grace of God King of England, Spain, France, both the Sicilies, Jerusalem and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Milan and Brabant, Count of Habsburg, Flanders and Tyrol, learn that foxes' game? (found also in the Panchatantra as "the crows and the snake")] Wouldn't being an assassin's target say much more about the strategy of the initial source of the assassination attempt than it would about that of the target? (a fox might assassinate anyone: fox, lion, or designori; while an insufficiently leonine designori** would assassinate a lion or more leonine designori; between designori we get into a comparative advantage game for who takes the fox and who the lion role?) It'll take me a moment to switch out of lion mode; for the moment all I'm coming up with is that Xenophon et. al. correctly surmised they were default dead unless they could cross the chasm, err, make it to a friendly coastline. (Θάλαττα! θάλαττα! being the cry of investors upon finding a second potential buyer?) * note that E1R starts with pairs in the run-ups but concludes on full tricolons; no mere "shock and awe" for her. ** EDIT: eg, well before co-founding Likud, MVB was busy bombing brits EDIT2: NB channels NdBdM: > “Je sais, quand il le faut, quitter la peau du lion pour prendre celle du renard.” (when necessary, I can remove the lion's skin and wear the fox's)

My bad, I had an old number for OpenAI; at 3'600 it's actually getting close, in principle, to E1R's militia at Tilbury. Closest equivalent in the US system would be a Brigade Combat Team, which (if SamA had the equivalent mix of occupational specialties as well as non-civilian equipment) incorporates support and sustainment elements and would be fairly leonine. Compare early 2017 PMC Wagner. EDIT: according to the doctrine of FM 3-96, BCT commanders (who have organic intelligence units) are not only responsible for outcomes in the field, but are also have responsibility for influencing audiences and narratives, which sounds pretty vulpine. [NB that the notion of arming a 600 person AI company and asking them to hold a piece of ground is already at the edge of plausibility; asking a 3'600 person AI company to act as a BCT would require a clearly implausible acquisition of process knowledge]
