How has warfare evolved?

Warfare has evolved considerably in various dimensions, as discussed by different guests on The Jordan Harbinger Show.

1. False Flag Attacks:

   • The strategy includes deceptive practices where nations simulate attacks or incidents to justify military actions. Jordan Harbinger mentions the Gulf of Tonkin incident, where the U.S. justified increased involvement in Vietnam based on a reported attack that didn't happen. The concept has evolved into theories like 9/11 being an inside job, suggesting that state-led deceptions have long-standing historical precedents 1.

2. Technological and Existential Threats:

   • Yuval Noah Harari highlights that modern warfare now contends with technological threats like AI and biotechnology. These advancements create potential for new global arms races, including autonomous weapons systems, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to prevent catastrophic outcomes 2.

3. Leadership Dynamics:

   • Brian Klaas explains that our evolutionary psychology still influences the type of leaders we choose, especially in times of crisis. Historically, we turn to physically strong leaders during conflicts, a behavior rooted in our stone-age past. This explains why leaders like Vladimir Putin cultivate strongman images, particularly in wartime scenarios 3.

4. China's Unrestricted Warfare:

   • General Robert Spalding discusses China's approach of Unrestricted Warfare, focusing on leveraging economic, technological, and cultural access to weaken adversaries without traditional military confrontation. This strategy involves exploiting open societies' vulnerabilities to gradually undermine their systems, making them reliant or subordinate to Chinese interests 4.

These discussions reflect how warfare has transitioned from direct military conflicts to complex engagements involving psychological, technological, and strategic dimensions.
