Viktor Shvets argues that modern technology has leveled the playing field in warfare, making it difficult for sophisticated armies to defeat less advanced ones. He draws parallels between the conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, suggesting that decapitation of leadership or regime change without occupation is unlikely to succeed.
“So my argument was that there is no way out of this conflict.”
“That decapitation of leadership is not going to work, regime change is not going to work.”
“Unless you put boots on the ground and actually do occupation of significant parts of Iran and try to change regime.”
