model
Jiang says American military power is being transformed from a police force that guaranteed trade into a pirate force that extracts tolls from global trade.
diagnosis
He says American special-operations culture privileges optics, narrative, book deals, and movie deals over sober military strategy.
diagnosis
Jiang says Iran is unlike Iraq because the American military's shock-and-awe model is poorly suited to a nimble Iranian military that has prepared for U.S. war games, drones, artillery, and hypersonics.
diagnosis
Jiang says the United States is good at shock-and-awe campaigns and air wars but bad at sustaining long-term ground wars, pointing to Vietnam as the last major example.
