Fascinating interview with Sean McFate on one of the latest Cognitive Crucible podcast episodes.
During this episode, Dr. Sean McFate discusses his influential book, The New Rules of War. Sean describes how the Westphalian state system is changing, consequences for conventional war, the rise of mercenaries and international mega-corporations, and information operations. Plus, the Cognitive Crucible gets not only one–but two–Monty Python references.

Worth a full listen, and I’ve just started the book.
Three things piqued my attention:
What matters in “future” war?
Information.
How should states that wish to compete, compete?
“Below the threshold of international media.”
How do we deter in the era of Great Power Competition?
“Sneaky” deterrence.
