Traditionalism in a changing world.
Ukraine and its allies have been prepping the propaganda battlefield for months about Kiev’s big spring offensive, or counter-offensive if you prefer. The ghosts of Kursk have been gathering over the scene, warning about attacks which are predictable and made where the Russians have been able to prepare extensive defensive positions. This time, will the Leopard tank be what the Tiger Elephant was last time?
That is a small question which leads to a big question: will Ukraine’s offensive be of operational or just tactical significance? The U. S. military has but a small understanding of the operational level of war, which comes between the tactical and strategic levels and connects the two. In essence, it is deciding what to do tactically in order to strike as powerfully as possible at an enemy strategic “hinge,” something on which the enemy depends and which, if destroyed, collapses him.
