A good thought provoking article on the tragedy that's unfolding between Russia and Ukraine and how, according to this British Academic/strategist (Dr. Mike Martin) that for all the wishing of people that war being reinvented the basic 3 tenets to be successful in War remains the same: that is Strategy, Logistics, and Morale.
I find the passage on his article particularly insightful:
"There is a deeper question about why we constantly seek to reimagine war – to say that it has changed, or that it is something that it is not. It is a very difficult question to answer, but as humans we like to imagine that new technology will help us win wars, or will help us avoid wars. Perhaps we want to avoid the brutally chaotic nature of war, or ignore the reality that it is a fight to the death. Perhaps it is something particular to democracies, whose populations like to imagine that technology can help us fight wars at arm’s length, so that they will not touch our lives.
Paradoxically, this thinking makes us more likely to fight wars, rather than less."
