Decapitation to catalyse revolt

Combine targeted strikes or selective strikes on regime security organs with rapid, visible political signalling to amplify internal dissent and catalyse elite defections without committing to occupation. The approach treats limited kinetic action as a strategic accelerator for domestic uprisings, not as an end in itself. — If governments adopt a 'strike‑to‑catalyse' playbook, it raises urgent questions about exit planning, humanitarian risk, regional spillovers, and lawful authorizations for interventions.
