For more than three years, journalists, researchers, and military professionals have sought to describe the the most important dynamics characterizing the war in Ukraine and determine what they tell us about the future of warfare. One of the sharpest observers has been retired Australian Army Major General Mick Ryan. The author of a recently published book that collects many of the wars lessons, he also shares his insights frequently on social media and his substack.
He joins this episode to share his thoughts about the ongoing war—and what it indicates about the changing character of warfare. He also explores the ways that lessons from Ukraine should be translated and inform our understanding of the very different strategic landscape and operational environment of the Indo-Pacific region.
