My regular update on conflict and confrontation in Ukraine, the Middle East and the Pacific, accompanied by recommended readings on the character of modern war and planning for future conflict.
Thanks, as always. I do have a question for you and for your knowledgeable readers. Does anyone know NY Times corespondent Anatoly Kurmanaev? In his article “Russia Seeks to Use Ukraine’s Surprise Attack to Its Advantage “ ( 8/22 NYT), he seems to have already decided that Russia will prevail. Now, while that is certainly possible and the odds may favor Russia, it’s a bit early to predict the outcome of this war. Did anyone else read this article?
Nice collection of articles. Re the Davidzon article on Ukraine secrecy about the Kursk operation- it seems to have Ukraine leadership complaining on the one hand that the US has no strategy for Ukraine, and on the other saying they (the US) shouldn’t be dictating strategy to Ukraine anyway. The interaction between US and Ukrainian military leaders will make for an interesting story when this is over.
