Modern asymmetric warfare is often less about controlling territory and more about imposing costs.
A weaker actor does not need conventional dominance to remain strategically dangerous.

#StrategicStudies is completely disconnected from the art of war literature. It substituted an odd canon with few usual suspects (from Sun Tzi to Mahan) ignoring the fact that it’s a literary corpus—ie, a highly integrated whole. #Clausewitz
Great Substack and Follow for the Clausewitz nerds out there.
I quote with approval the two excerpts below—Strategic studies does not engage seriously with Clausewitz. It mostly reads bits of poorly translated On War—it reads “Clausewitz”.

The Art of War literature teaches that writing #Strategy is an exercise fraught with illusion. You can't theorize it, you can barely describe it as a historical object, and you can't prescribe it. The gap between strategy in words and practice is the defining feature of the genre. #StrategicStudies
