Last Stand of the Nation State w/John Robb

Well, this was one of the scarier discussions I’ve had in recent memory, and you do not want to miss it. In this episode John Robb and I discuss the ongoing total war between Vladimir Putin’s Russia, and the open-source networked insurgency that has emerged to do battle with him.

John Robb is a former Air Force special operations pilot, an astronautical engineer, a tech founder who helped invent RSS, as well as a defense & global affairs analyst & consultant. His book Brave New War was well ahead of its time when he released it in the mid-2000s, and has guided much of my thinking about fourth- and fifth-generation warfare and the networked insurgencies that now seem to dominate physical and ideological battlefields. John is the creator of the Global Guerillas Report, in which he provides deep analysis of the strong underlying trends and forces that are driving the events we see on the news. Over the years, his framework has helped me to avoid being blindsided by emergent events, and I’m very excited to have him on the show.
