About this event
The face of war is changing, there is no longer a clearly defined distinction between active combat zones and the home front. New Technology has brought new ways of attacking opponents and increased the cost of kinetic war rendering any all out war ruinous to the any nations engaging in it. This has encouraged nations seeking to disrupt the free and open international order to use alternative means of combat and competition.
Hybrid War, Grey Zone Warfare, Unrestricted War: today, traditional conflict—fought with guns, bombs, and drones—has become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad, the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending.
