Polarise opinion. Glamorise extremes. Salt the common earth. This is the Art of Hybrid War with James Patrick.

People face battles every single day, and not all of those fights involve bullets and bombs. Though that is not to say the peril is any the lesser. Some face their own demons. Some face the situational asphyxia of life. Poverty, domestic violence. Abuse. Others face the consequences of arms sales and oil wars. Territorial conflicts founded upon little more than greed and ego. Motivations as old as recorded history itself. 

Time's hands have since ticked by and we now face a very different world — one where swords have been replaced by weapons of mass destruction and computers, and battlefields have shifted from the blood-soaked mud to the dirty code of the online world.

In this podcast we are going to explore the philosophy of hybrid warfare from a civilian point of view, drawing out the wider meanings of the 2018 book of the same name. This series will take you deeper into the elements of the philosophy and, hopefully, bring you some understanding of the world around us, the chess moves being played, and what we can do about it. Just remember, not all soldiers are warriors, and not all warriors are soldiers.
