Yeah. I mean, you know, there's always an assessment of vulnerabilities. And right now, a lot of the scholarly research that's being done is looking at how we transition from the global war on terror to what people are talking about as great power competition. And this has everything to do with the sort of research that I'm working on, which is – what's called fifth generation warfare.

Sometimes it's called hybrid warfare. But I think that the question about vulnerability has everything to do with fifth generation warfare. And to kind of understand it, I think you have to go through the first one through four generations. And the thing to remember is,

when you're sort of looking at these generations is it doesn't necessarily mean that one generation ends and another one picks up. These different generations of warfare can be happening simultaneously. But what matters is how technology and geopolitical aims end up affecting each other in order to to change the nature and the I guess the character of warfare.

So first generation, you know, basically anytime somebody decided to get their buddies together and go, you know, fill a bunch of other strangers with holes for some geopolitical aim. So it could be anything from like early Neanderthal tribal warfare. Right.

All the way up to sometimes the example that people tend to use are like the Macedonian conquests, where strategically you have a really high level of organization, but a fairly low level of technology. You've got dudes in lines marching with spears. Like tribes. Yeah, but the Macedonian conquests were kind of like the latter end of it.

They had shields and they could make a phalanx and they could stab each other in unison, which was a technological boon at the time. It wasn't something that we had seen before. But again, you know, it goes from technology to geopolitical aims. How do you marry those together in order to create this new character of warfare?

So second generation, that kind of takes us up to almost the Napoleonic Wars. And at that point, you're looking at things like gunpowder, more advanced tactics. You've got decisive battles, but you also have entrenchment, right? So you have these wars of attrition that are made possible by this new type of technology. World War II is kind of where we start to change again, right?
