Hi All,

Phillips’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Having written the two pieces looking back on 2024, I thought it would be useful to write a piece pointing out some issues that will determine what happens in 2025 (as much as one can imagine). Before that, however, just wanted to point that that there will be a chat for subscribers tomorrow night (Friday 3 January). It will be at 8pm UK time/3pm EST. I will use the Chat app through Substack, and I’ve set it up so that all paying subscribers should have access. Ive even just sent out a thread announcement (people can start putting in questions) that I will come to tomorrow when the time comes.

Watch Military Production on Both Sides in 2025

This is my first time using the chat app in this way—and there is a chance that I will screw it up royally. So fingers crossed it works!

Btw, here is a screenshot of the chat announcement that I just sent out.

And now, with further ado—here are the six questions, the answers to which should determine the course of the war in 2025.
