I've worked as a military historian for 10 years, teaching undergrads and ROTC cadets.
The thing that many students get wrong about war is focusing on a tactic or piece of technology. Single technologies rarely revolutionize war overnight. You have to take a broader look. 🧵1/25

Tbh, I have no patience left to explain why Ukraine’s potential NATO membership didn’t precipitate the war and thus freezing Ukr’s hypothetical entry won’t solve anything. But you can check out what @oxanashevel.bsky.social and I wrote on Feb 24, 2022 about this: www.justsecurity.org/80343/russia...
