"High-minded," not "foundational."
Think of the implicit architectural metaphor here. If your building isn't grounded in "democracy and morality," but those are rather on the precarious upper stories, what is its foundation?

Ten years since the escalator ride. CNN tries to name and frame the key changes: First place: remake of the GOP. But notice: the Republican party has "deemphasized high-minded ideals like democracy..." www.cnn.com/2025/06/16/p...
High-minded? A little slip that shows us what we are up against.

‘What military commanders do and how they do it’ has climbed to be the most popular article in @sjms.bsky.social 🙏🎉
It was the first product of my PhD journey, and I regularly revisit it.
There are quite a few fun gems in there, as well as some analysis of decision-making.

On the (incredible) Ukr operation yesterday -
People are jumping on the 'drones vs bombers' piece as if it has changed warfare. Forgive me, but I think that's the wrong analysis. This is an example of a well-executed classic special forces operation: uncoventional warfare behind enemy lines.

This is getting somewhat lost. The night before Ukraine's drone raid, Russia conducted what was the largest drone attack on Ukraine in the war to date—and, I guess, ever—with 472 Shahed-type attack drones. Broke last week's record by 100 drones.

Jag tror att en försvårande faktor med Försvarsmaktens "drönarsatsning" är att UCAV-projektet tittar framåt mot "framtidssäkrade" lösningar & försöker skapa "beslutsunderlag" för framtidens krigsförband istället för att titta här och nu.

A Ukrainian 2S1 "Gvozdika" (Carnation) 122mm self propelled gun has a dugout so deep it struggles to get out for a fire mission.
It is great to see the strong anti-FPV protective netting temporarily pulled aside at the entrance.

History suggests the “American way of war” is to fight in combined operations alongside our allies and partners.
Though we pride ourselves on mission command, we can get better. sorensjogren.bsky.social is a great resource thinking about how we conduct mission command in that context.
