The conflicts over the principles of world order constitute a significant part of modern history, particularly post-Cold War history, and should be analyzed as such.

The principles of warfare remain applicable, but they must be adapted to new technologies as warfare evolves.

The stakes are clear, and it's important to engage in meaningful work that addresses modern warfare challenges.

War is fundamentally about human beings and their relationships, not just political or economic factors.

Using World War II as a reference for modern conflicts is problematic because it prevents us from seeing our enemies as real people with genuine grievances, which is essential for understanding the complexities of war.

The conflict of ideas is central to warfare, and understanding this can lead to better strategies than just physical force.

Most wars throughout history were fought between kings, queens, and dictators, not between major democracies, suggesting that the spread of technology could lead to less intense and less frequent conflicts.

The ethical implications of warfare differ significantly; if the goal is to avoid civilian casualties, then actions that lead to such outcomes must be scrutinized.

The conflict in Ukraine has changed the paradigm for military technology, highlighting the importance of adapting to new threats.
