India Growth Pains

12/21/2016

0 Comments

India’s economy has reportedly overtaken the United Kingdom’s for the first time in over 100 years, now standing as the world’s sixth-largest economy by GDP after the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and France. The milestone is a symbol of India’s rapid economic growth and, conversely, the U.K.’s post-Brexit slump. –Foreign Policy 

India’s naval chief is heading to Japan to explore the possibility of new cooperation with his Japanese counterparts. –The American Interest 

Reporting about rape in Indian villages is not easy. The stigma of sexual assault is so pervasive that the first response to a rape is often silence, or victim-shaming. Ancient caste and family alliances prevail, deals are struck, money changes hands. –Washington Post

Clausewitz's Grey Zones, Air Power & Problems with Tactics & Strategy

12/20/2016

0 Comments

Tactical and Strategic Interdependence
From Olivia Garard, Strategy Bridge: “Carl von Clausewitz’s On War is oft quoted, but rarely with a holistic understanding. Therefore, many Clausewitzian aphorisms take on a meaning based on context independent of the text. Conceptual confusion ensues and terms like tactics and strategy are thrown around without any real grasp of their theoretical underpinnings or their complex relationship. What, then, are tactics and strategy and what is the nature of their relationship?” ​
The Cultural Disconnect Over Airpower Application
From John Amble, Modern War Institute: "If the debacle over the Air Force’s proposed retirement of the A-10 proved anything, it demonstrated that there is a major cultural disconnect between the services.  As the Air Force leadership tried to make a difficult case for retiring an aging attack aircraft, the A-10 was magically morphed into a proxy aircraft for a specific mission.  No longer a multirole attack aircraft, it was now a single-mission close air support (CAS) airplane.  Even Air Force officers made the mistake of referring to the Warthog as a “close air support (CAS) aircraft,” as if every other counter-land mission that the aircraft does is irrelevant to the fight.  The Air Force foolishly accepted this utterly erroneous description of the A-10 and presumably all other aircraft with air-to-ground capability were now not “CAS aircraft,” despite thousands of CAS missions they flew over two decades.  This aircraft-level discussion obscured the deeper issue with combat airpower—that the air and ground components have fundamentally different views of how victory is achieved, and the “proper” use of airpower in achieving victory."
Special Operations Forces in the Gray Zone
From Phillip Lohaus, AEI: "What do we mean by “gray zone”? To some, it is the zone between the identification of an imminent threat and the enemy’s attack, while others remove the requirement for an imminent threat and treat the term more broadly as “the area existing short of a formal state of war.” Still others question the value of the term and argue that so-called gray zone activities are identical to what we once called “international competition,” a timeless paradigm for understanding the nature of international relations."

The Infamous Zimmermann Telegram & Diplomacy

12/18/2016

The Zimmermann Telegram: Intelligence, Diplomacy, and America’s Entry into World War I by Thomas Boghardt
“A specialist in the history of espionage and covert operations during the Great War, in The Zimmermann Telegram Boghardt gives us the first new book on this event since Barbara Tuchman’s treatment over 60 years ago. In his excellent opening survey of the historiography of the subject, Boghardt notes that Tuchman and other earlier writers on the subject worked without many documents that remained classified until recently, and also wrote largely without reference at all to German sources. A valuable work for anyone interested in the diplomacy of the war or American’s participation.”–StrategyPage.com
