ACOUP - How the Weak Can Win – A Primer on Protracted War

Another expedited upload since the topic remains current and I think this resource one worth signal boosting. This week, Bret took a look at the strategy of protracted war, the manner in which a weaker enemy engages a militarily stronger foe through strategically drawing out the war and turning it into a contest of will, rather than a contest of firepower. And of course, Bret examines how that strategy applies to the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
