If the Viet Nam war was the first war to enter the household, via the ubiquities’
of the then MSM, the evening news, which arguably created the opposition to the war in Viet Nam and the antiwar movement of the 1960’s, the war in Ukraine is the
first war, that has capitalized on the full spectrum of a matured worldwide
accessible social media platform.
The connectivity, whose roots are firmly entrenched in the successful mirrored 60’s opposition, is the genesis 50 years of uninterrupted innovation, and lodestone for Ukraine.
What we are experiencing now, in real time, is the death of war by choice. It may
not happen in the next decade, but there is a distinct qualifier that war can no
longer be a personal action, or a state action, arguing harm outside the world forum.
A case in point would be USA after 9/11. Whereas, Iraq, in hindsight, the WMD false
flag campaign, would face serious opposition in today’s MSM ability to factually
link cause to action.
The war will be a rich mine for researchers interested in everything from leadership
studies to resiliency in conflict, armament, logistics, and all that is the
human experience in difficult times.
But, make no mistake, war as we have known it, these past 100 years, executed as
Putin has, will not be part of our grandchildren’s future, the real timeliness of information and destruction at your fingertips, negates tyrants, who can only operate/function in the the non-exposed. That, no longer exist.
YMMV
