I argue that ground forces can topple a regime, but changing regimes requires a whole-of-government effort that is expensive and enduring.
Airpower by itself, without skilled forces on the ground, has a terrifically awful failure rate at producing regime change, or even getting concessions, as Mike O’Hanlon and I wrote about a couple months ago in the Venezuela context: (7/11)

Bombing Venezuela Won’t Solve the Maduro Problem
Historically, even overwhelming air and missile attacks rarely achieve strategic objectives.

Als het klopt dat een Lely Sphere €1000 per melkkoe per jaar kost, dan hoeven we er ons niet meer druk om te maken.
Want dat is 10 cent per kilo melk.
Terwijl de melkprijs 40 cent per kilo is. Dan verdien je niks als boer.

In het akkoord waarmee het nieuwe kabinet maandag aan de slag gaat, staat heel vaak het woord ‘innovatie’. Nieuwe snufjes en methoden zijn nuttig voor het oplossen van de stikstofcrisis, maar ook het krimpen van de veestapel blijft nodig.
