Substacks recommended by Dominik Presl

Recommended by Dominik Presl

Russia & Economics

A conversation about technology, ideas, people and their convergence in contemporary war and competition. Also covering issues related to the war in Ukraine, Chinese aggression against Taiwan and Indo-Pacific defence.

Mick Ryan is a first-class expert on military issues and a leading thinker on the topic of the "Future of War". I'm a big fan of his books and his Substack is a great extension of his work.
