New Book Reveals Ukraine War Has Been the Plan for Decades

Oro Valley, Arizona Sep 4, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Former Green Beret Curtis L. Fox has studied Russia's wars in the post-Soviet era and uncovered a pattern of military activity that clearly telegraphed the Eurasian superpower's invasion of the Donbas region and the rest of Ukraine.

In Hybrid Warfare, Fox traces Russia's strategic, economic, and geographic history from the Napoleonic era through Vladimir Putins reign to understand how all three shape the Kremlins military and political objectives. To condense these objectives to a phrase, Russia seeks defense in depth; a buffer zone of friendly satellites that would serve as a stumbling block to any attacking Western force.

Russia's direct methods to realize its ideal geopolitical stance range from shadowy assassinations, poisoned door knobs, and little green men to ruthless cyber attacks and mass deception. While these operations appear cloaked in a shadow of mystique, Fox uncovers the sliver of strategic reality underlying each one.

Through case studies of the Russo-Georgian War, the First and Second Chechen Wars, the annexation of Crimea, and the war in Donbas, it is clear that Russia leverages internal conflict within a target country and stokes small fires to massive conflagrations. Then, often under the guise of peacekeepers or a force of stabilization, Russian troops enter the country now engaged in civil strife and back the regimes most amenable to Russian aims.

Fox contextualizes these past conflicts with the current Russo-Ukrainian War, illustrating that the attack should not have come as a surprise and that Russia's initial actions were consistent with the last two decades of Russian military operations.

Hybrid Warfare meticulously covers Russian military doctrine, modernization efforts, intelligence services, and elite forces to determine Russia's current military capability. Preparing military targets with unconventional, hybrid tactics may have emerged as a political and logistical necessity but remains the dominant strategy even after two extensive military reforms.

Hybrid Warfare: The Russian Approach to Strategic Competition and Conventional Military Conflict is available from several online retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
