Show Notes

We are joined today by John Spencer, Chair of the Modern Warfare Studies of the Modern War Institute. In this episode we talk about urban warfare and how it differs from most civilians' understanding of warfare. John Spencer originally went viral when he advised Ukranians in how to respond to the Russian invasion as civilians. We also in this episode speak about Israel, Gaza, and how there is a paucity of data and knowledge on urban warfare which allows wild misinformation to spread.
