Peter Zeihan: Russian Evolutions in the Ukraine War
We’re beginning to see a notable shift in the Russians war strategy in Ukraine. Those large-scale meat assaults are being swapped for small infantry advances and widespread air strikes via drones and missiles to overwhelm Ukrainian air defenses.
This pivot in the Russian war efforts has been brought on by increased Western military aid, expanded European defense production, and Russia reverting to a WWII-esque military production style of moving things deep into Russian territory. The Russians have also spun-up more domestic drone assembly, giving them more independence and resilience in their supply chains.
Peter Zeihan is a geopolitical strategist, which is a fancy way of saying he helps people understand how the world works. He combines an expert understanding of demography, economics, energy, politics, technology, and security to help clients best prepare for an uncertain future. With a keen eye toward what will drive tomorrow’s headlines, his irreverent approach transforms topics that are normally dense and heavy into accessible, relevant takeaways for audiences of all types.
