Is the first section after the foreword accurate? It seems that assigning so much significance to two drones is almost a bizarro version of liberals and Ukros claiming that Russia was totally done for after the submarine got hit, or whenever the magical regenerating AWAC gets shot down again. My interpretation of “World War 3” so far has been the impacts that will echo the longest are financial, industrial, and diplomatic, most especially in regards to the dollar, oil prices, and global currency reserves. While the West isn’t automatically getting everything it wants right now, it’s still causing millions of casualties in service of its aims. Ansarallah’s efforts so far have been incredible. From a macro perspective, I think the US has been stalemating counterinsurgency operations at tremendous civilian cost for longer than I have been alive without losing hegemon status.
