The Cyber Wars that Weren't
Update: 2025-12-30
Description
This podcast analyzes offensive cyber operations in modern warfare through three recent conflicts: Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas, and Israel-Iran. Despite early fears of cyber-driven disruption, the evidence shows cyberattacks produced limited strategic impact compared to kinetic operations. The episode explores timing, escalation risks, hacktivist participation, and why cyber is better understood as a supporting or sabotage-style capability rather than a decisive weapon. The discussion concludes with lessons for policymakers, military planners, and cyber practitioners preparing for future conflicts.
