Everybody knows what game theory is, however the discussion is about military capability and strategy which is best left to people who have experience in these things. Also, game theory makes plenty of assumptions which make it of questionable use in the real world.

Here’s a helpful tip for you. Go back and look at the predictions people made over the past two years, then see how many of those predictions were in line with what actually happened. Then stop listening to people who were consistently wrong about absolutely everything. Perun is a perfect example of somebody who was exposed as a complete and utter fraud. On the other hand, Biran Berletic made consistently accurate predictions about the direction of the war, so if you want to understand what’s happening then I can highly recommend watching his analysis https://www.youtube.com/@TheNewAtlas/videos
Here’s him being completely wrong about Russian industrial capacity making an absolutely hilarious claim that the conflict could be over in months or weeks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2ptG1IxZ08
These are just a few examples of him being proven completely and utterly wrong. The fact that you think his analysis is spot on shows that you’re living in an invented reality crafted by the propagandists whose content you consume uncritically.
It’s like linking to an economist discussing the subject of quantum physics.
Hmmm? Do you know what game theory is? It explicitly deals with incentive structures and is how academics decode nations motives and goals.
