Victor Davis Hanson discusses the shift from classical warfare, which aimed for decisive victory and political reform, to modern 'bellum interruptum'—endless wars with no clear resolution. He argues that modern restraints, such as media optics and nuclear deterrence, prevent total defeat, allowing conflicts to re-emerge. Hanson points to Israel's strategy against Hamas as a potential return to the classical model and questions Ukraine's ability to decisively defeat Russia.
