What does the report “The Political Ends of the Current Wars” cover?

The fronts that hold the West in tension reactivate continuously, at a rhythm that has itself become the message: a sudden hope of peace, an agreement announced, a truce signed — and then the relapse into war. It happens in Ukraine, where negotiations open and close while the front moves by a few dozen metres a day. It happens in the Gulf, where a memorandum of understanding was meant to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and tankers continue to be struck. Yet if one examines the military situation, a single circumstance dominates: neither belligerent appears any longer capable of achieving by arms the political objectives it originally set.
