Putin’s Crimea Problem Is About to Get Much Worse | David Petraeus

General David Petraeus returns to The Global Gambit to explain how Ukraine is transforming modern warfare—and why Vladimir Putin may be approaching an increasingly dangerous moment. In this part 1 of 2, the former CIA Director and CENTCOM commander examines Ukraine’s expanding deep-strike campaign against Russian refineries, the growing isolation of Crimea and the arrival of the long-range Flamingo missile. He argues that Russia’s financial reserves are being depleted while Ukrainian drones systematically target the fuel, logistics and infrastructure sustaining Putin’s campaign. The conversation also explores Iran’s leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, the vulnerability of US bases and aircraft carriers, and how cheap drones are challenging some of the world’s most advanced military systems. From Ukraine to the Persian Gulf, Petraeus explains why tanks, warships and expensive interceptors are losing their former dominance—and how smaller powers are rewriting the rules of modern warfare.
