There is an absolutely superb summary produced by Beltran, Davis, & Taylor, of the Russian war against Ukraine, in the New York Times.

It's a long read, unsurprisingly, as it is a long war, but I cannot recommend it strongly enough for those that wish a deeper understanding of the conflict up to the point of Trump's second term.

It makes me want to raise funds for attritable air platforms to carry Wide Area Motion Imaging payloads for the Ukranians, so they might (EM spectrum permitting) be assured of what lies in the ground ahead of them, and keep moving swiftly (for to remain still or move slowly in battle - or indeed any conflict - is usually a terrible idea).

I am astonished that attempts to demolish the Kerch Strait bridge were forbidden by the US in 2022, and much later, that ban was lifted. Strategically, I'm gobsmacked at the way both sides prioritise politically desirable targets over winning the conflict definitively. Perhaps I am naive.

I am sad that the most excellent authors of the piece did not point out Ukraine's population demographics (worth looking up to understand why they abhor sending under-25yos to fight).

I am sure others reading this account will view it from a different aspect and be surprised by different things. I'd be curious to know what they are (as well as any hashtags I missed) if anyone cares to post here!

Good article on how Russian subthreshold warfare activity works. Thank you for sharing it!

I think it's important to quote this bit of the article:

> The company’s founders allegedly knew the company was backed by Russian money, but Pool and the other influencers—who included Benny Johnson and Dave Rubin—were “unwitting” figures, according to officials. Tenet shut down soon after the indictment was released.

Sure, we have no idea if that's true, but I'd say it's an important feature.
