Many have argued that the war in Ukraine heralds a revolution in warfare that will upend our understanding of war, but what the war demonstrates is not revolution but evolution. 

But complacency even in the face of evolution poses serious challenges for states.

This talk details lessons observed on the future of war based on recent conflicts in Ukraine, Yemen, and the Middle East.
