Signs mounting that U.S. plans to bomb Venezuela, ostensibly with the goal of toppling the regime. Unfortunately the track record of this kind of campaign is uniformly poor. A short thread. 1/8

I run a wargame in my Strategy and Policy class, and I am now wondering whether the final paper should use/build on the wargame experience in the way you have done with your practical exercise. Would be interested in seeing the paper instructions/prompt.

I know some literature that addresses this in some ways; I'm sure there are entire scads I do not know. This just struck me as really useful.

Definition here of a 'battle tank' for treaty purposes was a mix of Army definitions, covering what existed at the time, and hedging against future attempts to circumvent treaty limitations.
The sadly defunct CFE treaty provides a definition of a 'battle tank' for treaty purposes. It was based on a mix of Army definitions, backwards building from existing vehicles parties wanted to cover in the treaty, and looking forward to how states might try to get around limits in the future.
