Next year, France could elect its first far-right leader since 1944. Campaigning for the elections, which are scheduled for next April, is already underway, and opinion poll after opinion poll shows that the Rassemblement National, also known as the RN or National Rally, has a commanding lead. The popularity of the RN—which was founded in 1972 as the National Front by Jean-Marie Le Pen, before being rebranded by his daughter Marine in 2018—has grown steadily over the past 30 years, boosted by unease over rising immigration and France’s economic struggles. In 2017 and 2022 presidential elections, this sentiment carried Marine…

While Strategy and Wargaming is almost exclusively focused on strategy and historical games, I also have a penchant for all kinds of other genres. In fact, I fancy myself a player who enjoys most genres, so I took advantage of the Steam Next Fest and gave several titles that aren’t exclusively strategy a go, and was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of some of the games in here. From first-person shooters, action-adventure, and soulslikes, there are a lot of great games coming soon. My only requirement to give the demo a go is that it looks interesting to me,…

Picture this for a second. Two fighter jets streak across the sky at supersonic speed, both designed to dominate modern air combat, both wrapped in secrecy, and both carrying the weight of national pride. That’s the heart of the Su-57 vs F-22 debate. It isn’t just about which aircraft flies faster or turns tighter. It’s a contest between two military philosophies that grew up on opposite sides of the world.The F-22 Raptor was America’s answer to a simple question: how do you defeat an enemy before they even know you’re there? The result was a stealth-focused air superiority fighter packed…

In his 1966 book Men, Machines, and Modern Times, Etling E. Morison offered what would become a classic study of how people and organizations learn, or fail to learn, to live with innovation. One of my favorite vignettes is his account of an early World War II artilleryman acting as a “horse holder,” standing as if to calm the team of horses during firing, even though the gun was now pulled by a truck. The absurdity of that remnant of battlefields past comes to mind as leaders envisage how geospatial intelligence is produced—and leveraged—in the age of autonomy. Over the…
