Ukraine should increase the tempo of attacks against Russian infrastructure, including data centres and distribution hubs. Vladimir Putin needs to feel that Ukraine can threaten his rule and Russians need to be aware of the war being fought in their name economist.com/leaders/2026/1…

Robotic Ground Combat, now in its 1st generation in Ukraine, is the leading edge of change in land forces globally. It may not be THE future of war – but it will play an increasingly important role in future conflict. mickryan.substack.com/p/robo…

States of Exception is a masterful work covering a wide array of themes related to policing in South America and how it is increasingly required to contend with evolving criminal armed groups that challenge state sovereignty. Rather than falling into the trap of utilizing military forces to respond to third generation gangs and heavily armed organized criminals it promotes the rule of law and ethical restraints on police militarization. It also delves into political and economic dimensions not typically addressed in international policing works of this nature bringing a higher level of scholarship to this endeavor.” — Robert J.
