👀new book from Mick Ryan, AM is available. I’ll be reading this one. I have always appreciated Mick’s grounded viewpoints and well-considered work on strategy and adaptation.
There’s a massive amount of war news about the Russian military. For a brief pause, join me for a look into the future. Russia has an emerging strategy to recruit personnel when the war ends, and they are laying the groundwork now. My latest, below 👇 warontherocks.com/2024/08/russia…
When AFU correlation of forces changed in Donetsk w/deployments to Kursk, Russian commanders are trained to push forward- that’s now happening in Donetsk/Pokrovsk. It’s a predictable 🇷🇺 response that could be exploited if 🇺🇦resources are available but seems stretched currently.
A good assessment of Russian operations on the Pokrovsk axis of advance, and the importance of #Pokrovsk, from Tatarigami_UA
For War on the Rocks subscribers, a deeper dive on a deep dive of Russian wartime recruiting and post-war war recruiting strategy (described in this article warontherocks.com/2024/08/russia…)
I revisited this book on leadership, compiled by Admiral James Stavridis, USN, Ret. and R. Manning Ancell. It’s a great way to compare notes w/senior military leaders on the classic texts and the lessons they took away, and discover new favorites and perspectives too. Pairs well with a beach.🏖️
Sat down for Carnegie Politika YouTube channel with my incredible colleagues Michael Kofman & Alexandra Prokopenko to discuss Kursk incursion, the Kremlin's reaction, trendlines in the war and 🇷🇺 economy over the next 12-18 months. I've learned a lot. (in Russian) youtube.com/watch?v=vIQCYy…
