Defense One: Russia Is Teaching a Master Class in ‘Decision-Centric' Warfare
Pentagon leaders should take notes.
America may be back, but its geopolitical antagonists are not putting out the welcome mat. During the last year, Chinese warplanes regularly darkened the skies over Taiwan, North Korea restarted ballistic and hypersonic missile testing, and Iran intensified drone attacks around the Middle East. The approach of “integrated deterrence” planned by Pentagon officials for their upcoming defense strategy does not seem to be resonating with its target audience.
Although provocations from Beijing, Tehran, and Pyongyang cannot be ignored, the most immediate challenge facing U.S. leaders is the Russian army poised at Ukraine’s doorstep and threatening invasion. The Biden administration’s promised economic sanctions and military equipment are making little obvious impact, and NATO allies are reluctant to support more aggressive responses like isolating Russia from the global financial system that could lead Moscow to cut off Europe’s natural gas in the dead of winter.

WNU Editor: I disagree with the above author's statement that "America's back". The Afghan debacle happened almost 6 months ago, and the consequences of that disaster are still being felt. And as for the Pentagon learning something from Russia when it comes to "decision-centric" warfare. I suspect that they and the US intelligence community are very good at that. The ones who need an education is Washington's political class.

ReplyDeleteYou crazy mon! You crazy!
All you need is a juris doctorate. they do not need to bone up on decision centric warfare. That is what they have generals for. Why else would they groom generals starting, when they were O6s. Why to be politically reliable generals. If some representative or Senator foes not like an O6 for whatever reason it is the kiss of death, So prospective O7s kiss-up, suck- up, lie, dissemble or whatever they have to do.
All you need is a juris doctorate and you too can be a FBI director without any field work.
