"The Art and Science of Grand Strategy" with Marina Henke | Horns of a Dilemma
Every state has a grand strategy, whether they know it or not. The real challenge is designing one that works.
In our latest podcast episode, Dr. Marina Henke (@mephenke.bsky.social) from @hertiesecurity.bsky.social discusses the critical link between strategic design and democratic accountability.
“Drones are not a wonder weapon.” Mauro Gilli (Hertie School) warns that tech failures, weather, jamming, and selective social media coverage mean drone success is often overstated - true mission success may be as low as 20–30%. War is about adaptation, not gadgets.
