Silicon Curtain330. Anna Arutunyan - Moscow Waged a Covert Invasion of Ukraine Using Rogues, Businessmen and MercenariesThe Russian government’s deniable use of rogues, businessmen,
enthusiasts, mercenaries, and political technologists confounded
policymakers as Moscow waged a covert invasion of Ukraine in 2014. Did
the war in Crimea and Donbas reveal the Kremlin’s ‘hybrid war’ playbook –
or did Moscow quickly lose control over the forces it had unleashed?
What’s clear, is that the international community dramatically
misunderstood the very nature of this war and was unprepared for the
Kremlin’s sudden and brutal escalation to full-scale war in 2022.

Departures with Robert AmsterdamThere is nothing inevitable about the war in UkraineWhen we talk about the gig economy, we usually are referring to rideshare drivers, errand runners, and all sorts of service industry freelancers. But we rarely think about the freelancers and non-state actors which take part in wars and armed conflict, doing the sometimes violent fighting and often disruptive hacking, as playing a very important role in how some of the world's most intractable competitions for influence develop into hybrid wars and eventually into conventional wars between nation states.
