The Transformation of War Edit Of particular significance is his 1991 book The Transformation of War (UK: On Future War), which was translated into French, German (New German edition in 2004), Russian, and Spanish. In this treatise of military theory, van Creveld develops what he calls the non-trinitarian theory of warfare, which he juxtaposes to the famous work by Clausewitz, On War.[4] Clausewitz's trinitarian model of war (a term of van Creveld's) distinguishes between the affairs of the population, the army, and the government.[5] Van Creveld criticizes this philosophy as too narrow and state-focused, thus inapplicable to the study of those conflicts involving one or more non-state actors. Instead, he proposes five key issues of war: By whom war is fought – whether by states or by non-state actors What is war all about – the relationships between the actors, and between them and the non-combatants How war is fought – issues of strategy and tactics What war is fought for – whether to enhance national power or as an end to itself Why war is fought – the motivations of the individual soldier Van Creveld notes that many of the wars fought after 1945 were low-intensity conflicts (LICs) which powerful states ended up losing. The book argues that we are seeing a decline of the nation-state, without a comparable decline in organized violence. Moreover, in his view, armies consistently train and equip to fight a conventional war, rather than the LICs they are likely to face. Consequently, it is imperative that nation-states change the training of their armed forces and rethink their weapon procurement programs. The book's significance is attested to by the fact that until the middle of 2008, it was included on the list of required reading for United States Army officers, and (with Sun Tzu and Clausewitz) the third non-American entry on the list.[6] Van Creveld's Supplying War: Logistics from Wallenstein to Patton is now included on the list as well. |

im trolling this YouTuber kid who is whoring out his Russian identity for years to get clicks and subs and now is too afraid to give a real statement about the situation. he just deleted my comment calling him out on it, calling him a 90s homeshopping channel. ah, my mere existence… |

seriously? looked up the pro russian referendum of 2014 in east ukraine. wikipedia tells a different story. guess there is always two sides to it, but im not buying it. look at the numbers: i find it hard to believe that the same families that voted for independence in the east changed their mind and rather be part of a oppressive system. on the other hand if putin found a way to get the votes without breaking peoples legs, he might have an argument. is it an option to let donbass be russian? and what is to gain from that? im really just starting to get into the matter. the news havent sufficiently concluded this matter to me. |

sooo it looks like this is going to be a full on invasion then. "denazification" is the russian line; 5 ukrainian planes and a helicopter downed already. fuck |
||||||||
|

|

I think this is going to be harder than the Russians realise, they will get a bloody nose from this economically and otherwise, going to be a very costly war from them |

Ive seen people on facebook parroting Kremlin propaganda that Ukraine government are nazi enablers. Sure there are groups of Nazis in Ukraine but seems like its vastly overstated as a pretext for war |

30 years of progress down the drain. and for what exactly? im quite shocked about the planes. not a good sign at all. |

There's no way anyone can defend Putin now It's like Biden kept punching a bear in the face then wondered why the bear scrammed him with his claws. Biden is a fucking mong. I even said this would happen if Biden got in. But Putin has crossed the line now. It's too late to stop the war. tens of millions will die. the survivors will have to pick up the pieces. uk is so divided brexit vs pro brexit, trump vs biden etc there will be civil wars all over the place look at iraq, libya, afghanistan and what happened there. private military companies, people fighting for their families, for their rights, for resources, for food, to impress women, fighting for whatever i can see boris and biden and their crews being first to be killed, putin will aim the nukes at the leadership. there's no way this war will end soon. it's going to spread like wildfire |

during the cold war the ussr had a plan to use nukes under the ocean on the west and east coast of the usa to cause radioactive tidal waves and tsunamis. this tactic would work even better on an island... the uk. my friend in kiev had no plan... she's still there now this war aint going away, time to make a plan now, wherever you live |

I like Peter Hitchens, I don't agree with everything he says, and he is a pompous, seemingly non-self aware, humourless, oversensitive windbag... but I don't hate him. ANYWAY. My take on Ukraine situation? Get ISIS in there. |

That's pretty good. Western imperialism on display. |

The West is the worst. I'm not gonna support another imperial power, but am happy to help bringing down the one I live in. 'Reform' it though socialist revolution (of the more anarchic kind). |

"My take on Ukraine situation? Get ISIS in there. " Ah well now, that only works where the terrorists are indigenous. "The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army," explains a former CIA analyst. "The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia." In a certain sense, the Cold War is still going on. For years Graham Fuller, former Deputy Director of the National Council on Intelligence at the CIA, has been talking up the "modernizing virtues" of the Islamists, insisting on their anti-Statist concept of the economy. Listening to him, you would almost take the Taleban and their Wahhabi allies for liberals. "Islam, in theory at least, is firmly anchored in the traditions of free trade and private enterprise," wrote Fuller. "The prophet was a trader, as was his first wife. Islam does not glorify the State’s role in the economy." - Richard Labévière, Dollars for Terror, 2000 |
