Silicon Curtain | Mick Ryan - To Avoid Ukrainian Defeat by a Thousand Cuts the NATO Strategy Needs to Radically Change @SiliconCurtain | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Barely a week goes by without things occurring that would have been inconceivable three years ago. Russian territory being hit by American made munitions, history’s most substantial sanctions in place against Russia, a near coup against the Kremlin, and Putin going cap-in-hand to Kim-Jong-Un to prop up his ailing military. What more can happen before these tensions and conflicts coalesce into World War 3 – especially the expectations that Korea troops will soon be fighting on the territory of Europe.

CHAPTERS:
00:02:11 It’s troubling that the largest land war since WWII is getting so little coverage
00:06:39 The great moral challenge with Spheres of influence as a geopolitical idea
00:11:10 Some terrible rules and red lines have been imposed on Ukraine by the US
00:14:14 China's interests are served by this war continuing because it distracts the US
00:21:05 Extraordinary pace of evolution of electronic warfare with drones and tactics
00:27:54 The British military has been run down in size, but not run down in quality
00:34:13 Russia’s extraordinarily profligate strategies risk exhaustion and defeat
00:36:50 No battalion ever thinks it's got enough ammunition and they’re probably right
