Description

Total length of the course: <1 hour

Strategy is harder than it looks, and the gap between tactical success and strategic achievement has undone more than a few military campaigns. In this conversation, explore how grand strategy differs across regime types, how Western and Russian approaches to air defence reflect deeper doctrinal divides, and what a warming ocean means for submarine warfare and great power competition. We then discuss what the demographics of the US military reveal about who actually bears the burden of modern conflict, and whether classic models of land warfare still hold today.
