Austria’s Far-Right Gains Foothold: A Warning for European Democracies – COMMENTARY
9 January 2025
War is an act of violence to force an adversary to submit to our will, wrote the classic theorist of warfare Carl von Clausewitz 200 years ago in ‘On War.’
In one of the opening chapters on the war effort, he also described that if we want to win a war, we must focus on how the adversary is able to combine the multitude of resources at his disposal with the strength of his will to fight.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is not just a struggle of Ukrainians resisting Russian aggression. It is also the attitude and assistance of Europe and, indeed, of all the Western democracies. Probably for the first time in history, because of the interconnectedness of the world today, battles are being fought with the same intensity, resources and will in three dimensions at once: on the physical battlefield itself, in the information space and in the economy.
