#MagazineUSTheAtlanticPhillipsOBrien "The persistence of the Putin-Cruz-Carlson vision of war is surprising, because we have decades, even centuries, of evidence to the contrary. Since the Industrial Revolution, and in many ways before, the ability to run a complex system has been the cornerstone of strategic success. Though much military popular literature likes to stress the human drama of combat--the bravery and sacrifice, the cowardice and atrocity--it is not nearly as important in victory or defeat as many people assume. In state-to-state wars--a category that includes the current Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as broader conflicts such as the two world wars--the side that can most efficiently deploy more effective equipment operated by better-trained personnel has typically emerged victorious." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/russia-ukraine-woke-military-tucker-carlson/671569/ #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverHyper #MetaphorVersusSimpleComplexAnswers #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #MetaphorVersusWestEastRussia / #OrgRUAFM
