New Luttwak review: Greed and glory - A survey of war, from personal combat to grand strategy

Dragon's teeth made an appearance on battlefields in Ukraine as of late 2022. The Russians tried to use them to brunt Ukrainian counteroffensives and now Ukraine is placing them along the border regions to stop Russian armour. This history does rhyme with a previous defensive emplacement: the Siegfried Line. Will Ukraine's dragon's teeth take a bite out of Russian plans?

The Philippines is on the front lines fighting against China's political, economic, and military warfare, and it has devised clever, effective tactics to fight back. One of its most brilliant strategies is called Angels of the Sea, which is discussed on this episode of China Unscripted, along with important history of China's illegal claims to the Philippines' territory, China's massive, armed Maritime Militia's and Coast Guard's role in the rape of the land and waters there, the US government's increasingly helpful response to China's aggression, and how the situation is changing in the region. Joining "China Unscripted" in this episode is David F. Day, the chairman of the Global Risk Mitigation Foundation, and one of the leading international legal practitioners on the Indo-Pacific region, including the Philippines. This interview provides extraordinary insight on Chinese Communist Party aggression that could ultimately ignite a war in East Asia. #chinaunscripted #southchinasea #usindopacificcommand #pla #maritimemilitia #usmarines #politicalwarfare #hybridwarfare #grayzoneoperations #philippines

People, experts, friends and acquaintances I follow on Linkedin, enjoying their active contribution to the ecological and social transition to a just and defossilized economy, post about the war in Ukraine. I would beg them to refrain from propaganda or even magical thinking. Please leave aside military analyses of armchair generals. And if you really wanted to have an objective, cold and aseptic analysis of the horrors of the battlefield, I recommend watching this video produced by Col. Doctor Markus Reisner, Theresan Military Academy, Austria. Definitely, not a "putinist." : https://lnkd.in/e3Aaqb8Y

I find it fascinating that there can be such an obvious double standard on a global scale that most intelligent people seem to ignore. This ignorance seems so biased I sometimes wonder if I am living in a time warp or that the underlying human condition is blinkered to self preservation at the expense of logic. We all laugh at the saying "to bury your head in the sand" and can all imagine the ostrich avoiding danger with its head buried as it just stands there fully exposed, however now feels safe because it no longer sees the danger, therefore the danger has gone. When you play chess you need to remove your mind from your strategy. You then need to look from your opponents perspective and see what he sees. This is difficult to do, it is hard to remove your bias. Why is it ok for US to supply weapons to Ukraine and not be involved in the war? Yet Iran can supply weapons and not be involved in the war? Was the Israel War provoked to expose this bias. If so, then is the involvement of US and NATO responsible for the escalation these wars around the world. Looking at the chess board from your opponents position. What do you think their next move is if Ukraine does not immediately surrender to peace talks. I see it can you? https://lnkd.in/g-xZU63i

The war in Ukraine is in its stalemate. To defeat one side, the other side has to have an advantage of troops in 3 to 1 ration. Neither side has it. Ukrainian military does not attack Russian positions with its troops, saving the lives of each soldier. Russian troops are attacking Ukrainian positions constantly, bearing significant loses. Watch the video to see what can be done to end the war in Ukraine, subscribe and comment.

Just watched an intriguing video titled “If US and China Go To War, Who Loses (Hour by Hour)” on the YouTube channel, The Military Show1. It’s a gripping narrative that explores the escalating tensions between China and the United States. The video presents a meticulously planned hypothetical assault by Xi Jinping’s forces, combining elements of cyber warfare, missile barrages, and strategic maneuvers. It’s a thought-provoking simulation that delves into the potential strategies, actions, and implications of such a conflict. The video raises important questions about global politics and military strategies. Can America thwart China’s ambitions and rally its allies in time? What would be the global implications of such a conflict? This is a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the complex geopolitical scenario we find ourselves in today. It’s a detailed exploration that combines current events, military strategies, and global politics. Don’t miss out on this deep dive into hypothetical scenarios. #MilitaryStrategy #Geopolitics #USChinaConflict

In the discussion, there is an emphasis on the importance of thoughtful decision-making and considering the long-term interests of the United States before making any decisions about going to war. The conversation raises the point that the well-being and safety of America should be a top priority, and decisions regarding military involvement should be made with a primary focus on protecting U.S. interests. The complexity of balancing international relationships and interests while ultimately underlining the need to prioritize and safeguard the United States above all else.
