In 1997, two PLA Air Force Lt Colonels wrote the first doctrine document for war in the 21st Century. Their thesis, that borders were meaningless in an internet-connected, globalized world meant that global political warfare was not only possible, but winnable. They posited that disease (Covid) and many other every day human events could be weaponized. What yesterday taught was that even assassination scales in the new world of technology and global markets. How prescient those two men were, and how literally unprepared we still are for the implications they outlined. Read my book War Without Rules if you want to understand what they said. Our company @sempre_usa is focused on protecting the internet part of the problem. Globalization I will leave to the politicians to figure out, but the Cold War has plenty of lessons.
