No new material here, just a bunch of old dusty articles.
So I got a question a little while back about past articles I’ve written that I’d recommend, so I thought I’d go ahead and pluck out some of the articles I’ve written that were more focused on “general warfare concepts and theories.” Basically, things that remain relatively unchanging about the basis state or structure of the Russo-Ukrainian War—as opposed to things that are more “of that moment.”
If anyone has some free time and hasn’t been following me for the entire 6 months or so I’ve been writing at Daily Kos, there may be some articles you missed :)
If you asked me to pick 1 article, I’d cheat and recommend my piece on General Zaluzhnyi and my piece on the concept of “Force Density.”
