Manage episode 495053705 series 3678184
Our guest for this episode is Michael Vlahos, a writer, a historian of military strategy and history, and author of the book Fighting Identity: Sacred War and World Change. Over several decades, he has taught war and strategy at Johns Hopkins University and the U.S. Naval War College, and has conducted strategic analysis for Johns Hopkins Applied Physic Laboratory. He is a weekly contributor to The John Batchelor Show, and has been publishing articles in major magazines and journals for as long as I’ve known him for 25 years as of this September. He is a non-resident fellow at the Institute for Peace and Diplomacy, and you can read his most recent work in Compact Magazine and Agon.
Michael joined us this week to talk about proxy wars — why and how are they successful, and when do they fail? He walks us through the history of the most famous successes and failures in modern military history, and why the US is losing it’s current one today in Ukraine.
