Hybrid Warfare: Useful Term or Crap Jargon?
from General Offensive - General Uprising Hosted by Lynette Nusbacher
A meeting with video and in-person attendees was a ’hybrid’ meeting until we got used to it, and now it’s just a meeting. Thing is, combining high-intensity operations with lower-intensity operations and working across domains with covert operations and information operations … that’s just war. Calling it ‘hybrid war’ suggests that it’s a special case, and it isn’t. If we’re not operating across all relevant domains when we fight, we’re not doing it properly.Show Notes (suggested by Gemini) * The “Nuke-on-Nuke” Dilemma: Why non-nuclear ballistic missile strikes (like the Oreshnik in Ukraine) double as nuclear warnings to Western powers. * Critical National Infrastructure at Risk: The reality of pre-positioned munitions on ocean floor internet cables and energy interconnectors. * The Triangular Alliance in Action: How Russia, Iran, and China coordinate parallel kinetic, economic, and cyber tactics across global theaters. * Historical Parallels (WW2 vs. Today): Why WWII was just as “hybrid” as modern war, from covert assassinations to full-spectrum information shaping. * The Buzzword Trap: How labeling full-spectrum war as “hybrid” gives Western leaders an excuse to limit strategic commitment.
