Sunday, February 9 — The 2024 election is irrelevant; You may not be interested in Information Age warfare. Pray Information Age warfare is not interested in you: When I say the 2024 election is irrelevant, am I trolling? A bit. But not much. Regardless of who is elected, the world is undergoing the same sort of convulsion that it did a century ago. As the summer of 1914 waned 110 years ago, the Royal Navy and its battleships ruled the seven seas and the sun never set on the British Empire. 25 years later battleships were anachronisms useful only as ocean-going artillery for land forces, the Empire had shrunk to a few islands in the Atlantic, and air power was the military order of the say – long-range bombers, missiles, aircraft carriers and fighter planes.
How will things change over the next four years? Where will we be in 25 years? Aircraft carriers will be museums. Warfare will be drones in the air and on the ground and under the sea, while electronic warfare rages, jamming and hacking and misdirecting those digital warriors while they battle.
