Is America ready for non-linear warfare?

As we celebrate Memorial Day — a day set aside to honor the US military personnel who died serving our nation — we look to the future and ask if America is prepared for the next conflict, and for non-linear warfare, which has massive ramifications for our way of life.

Our guest, Dr. Crisanna Shackelford, has 32 years of active duty both in the Navy and in federal service with the Department of Defense. An expert in national security, intelligence, warfare, strategic planning, and public policy, she sat down with Collapse Life host, Zahra Sethna, for a gripping discussion on how warfare has changed, why it’s important to understand non-linearity and complexity, and how the US is not in the place it needs to be in a world with adversaries whose cultural and strategic outlook is helping them “soften the battlefield.” On this immensely complex topic, Dr. Shackelford does her best to share ways we can prepare and protect ourselves for what’s happening and what’s to come.
