In this video, we dive into the Military Revolution Thesis: the idea that changes in military technology don’t just alter warfare… they reshape entire societies. From pikes and muskets to artillery fortresses and modern drone warfare, military innovation has repeatedly transformed states, economies, logistics, and political power. Featuring discussions of: * Michael Roberts’ Military Revolution Thesis * Geoffrey Parker and the rise of fortress warfare * Jeremy Black, John Lynn, and Clifford Rogers * The evolution of logistics and state power * Firearms as social equalizers * Ukraine and the modern drone revolution * Why “War Never Changes” might be the most misleading quote in Fallout For uncensored video, check out my substack at: https://ryanmcbeth.substack.com Find the Global Warning Podcast on: Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/show/23JULpVI2lVBEl4PVh07t0 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/global-warning-with-ryan-mcbeth/id1882061844 Like my shirts?
