Military analyst Preston Stewart @PrestonStewart joins American Power fresh off a trip to Ukraine to explain how drones, innovation, and battlefield adaptation are transforming modern warfare. From Russia’s energy vulnerabilities to the rise of Ukraine as a drone superpower, this conversation explores what Americans misunderstand about the war, how energy infrastructure has become a battlefield, and why every military in the world is studying Ukraine’s playbook.
“This is why I think we are in a really unique phase in this war, because you can pretty clearly see how 1 leads to 2 leads to 3. And I don’t think it’s the loss of Crimea or the isolation of Crimea. I think that is just part of what is playing out here, which is the isolation of the southern occupied territories.” - Preston Stewart
When it rains it pours… great discussion about the overall state of the war from a very knowledgable group of people.


I agree with you, the war only ends if Putin can spin the narrative of a Russian victory, which he will certainly do. This is most likely “if this would have been only a war against Ukraine, we would have easily won (within 3 days), but we had to fight the collective West™”
I don’t understand why you started your comment with “no” though?
‘No’ because I’m not meaning to parrot Putin’s nuclear threats in the context of trying to get the west to stop supporting Ukraine.
