Down the Rabbit Hole on the Russia-Ukraine War #14 - Human Factors & A Little Light Wargaming

"Down the Rabbit Hole on the #Russia-#Ukraine War" will be on hiatus for a few weeks, but we've got a double-length episode to hold you over. Dr. Yuval Weber discussed the human factors at play for both #Russian and #Ukrainian soldiers, the divergent targeting choices of both sides for their limited number of precision-guided weapons, and we spent extra time talking about the ongoing "situation map" of the conflict used by our #wargaming director Mr. Tim Barrick. Incoming MCU students and faculty will be interested to know that this map - laid out using the Operational Wargame System developed by Mr. Barrick - will be available for enhanced educational opportunities for interested parties in the coming academic year.

Dr. Weber mentioned Putin's threat that Russia "hasn't started anything seriously yet" in Ukraine - the article quoting Putin can be found here: https://www.rferl.org/a/putin-dares-west-to-defeat-russia-on-battlefield/31933634.html
