Diplomacy and Deterrence
The 21st century is no different from any of the previous periods with regard to wars and conflicts.

The purpose of the entire campaign is to break the will of the people and win the war without fighting. The modus operandi of the planning and execution of today’s hybrid warfare, particularly against unequal military powers (UMPs), is very similar to the precepts of the Chinese sage, Sun Tzu, who prophesied of winning the war without fighting.
