we're joined by malcolm davis. he is a senior analyst for defense, strategy and capability at the australian strategic policy institute. he is speaking with us from canberra. and thanks for doing. so when you look at the battlefield and where coming in from, what do you see is the most likely strategy militarily employed by russia as these operations continue? >> i think what you're seeing is the initial air and missile bombardment. lots of footage of cruise missiles hitting targets all over ukraine. large artillery barrages coming off the russian-held areas in the east in the donbas and luhansk and donetsk. i think the next step would be the russian forces in that area expand their offensive into ukrainian held territory, and that's where we're likely to see intense fighting. and at the same time, you're going to see russian forces and belarus advance south towards kyiv. and i think that's a key area of access of advance that we need to focus on. the third area is south around mariupol and potentially an amphibiou

no that that malcolm mentions that that's also a point of michael davis book and virtual war. he says, you know, if we so you go to annihilation, you don't really think it out. if force a video game you're gonna do it. wars the video game and nobody gets hurt and there's no real damage. it's easy to do if your option is, you know, think about some of the decisions. i'm not going to send diplomatic note. i'm going to shoot a cruise missile into a milk factory. that's a lot easier to do than a diplomatic note, but it's own way. it's orwellian. it's crazy. well and the lure of strike i did an article in this one time that the problem that the lure of this easy air strike can often lead you into something where it takes a lot more than an airstrike to resolve it. remember vietnam or the nerves get rattled as they did, you know at the airport, you know when they were evacuating afghanistan and they hit that family. and yeah, well, that's that's the big ben dilemma that we've we've created this image of a video war that nobody gets hurt, you know, really and and it's and it that's n
