The most insightful thing I have ever heard about Russia is from a historian who said that for centuries Russia has always tried to destabilise its neighbours and in the shrinking world we are all its neighbours now.

Thought experiment (certainly not original): how and how much better would US and global security be if the US had provided all the munitions it has used against Iran since 2/28 to Ukraine instead? (Yes, yes, Ukraine cannot use some of the munitions, lacks the platforms, but in general). Discuss.

@acwinner.bsky.social

One can argue that it would be worse too. And there are variants — does the munitions support come with the US level of ISR and targeting support that has gone this far into the Iran war?

Some eye-popping cost estimates for the battleship, courtesy of Eric Labs of the Congressional Budget Office. 1 BBG could buy up to 7 DDGs (which, btw is 128 VLS cells and 12 CPS cells vs 672 VLS cells). In the words of the immortal Ron O’Rourke, which came first: the program or the analysis?

Signs mounting that U.S. plans to bomb Venezuela, ostensibly with the goal of toppling the regime. Unfortunately the track record of this kind of campaign is uniformly poor. A short thread. 1/8 www.wsj.com/world/americ...

Thoughtful piece on thinking about the future maritime fight and not drawing the wrong lessons from recent events.

Joshua Tallis@doctallis.bsky.social

I couldn’t agree more. The instinct to derive lessons from the Black and Red seas is right, but we can’t be uncritical in how we export the experience of predominantly land-based belligerents into an expansive maritime AOR. warontherocks.com/2024/07/the-...
