We are now four and a half years into the one week blitzkrieg war of Russia against Ukraine and half of year into the three days war of US and Israel against Iran. The underdog is able to sustain the first and second strongest armies in the world thanks to drones and cheap tech. We have entered the new Cold War between the US and the DragonBear with meanwhile two proxy wars in Ukraine and Iran, and the grayzone hybrid warfare in the global system, whereas the AI-led fourth industrial revolution is entering the exponential curve now. Everything is on the move; perpetual uncertainty is the new normal. Nobody can tell which geopolitical/geoeconomic/geotechnological bloc is going to win. In the West, they must relearn what victory means and rewire their Mindset to develop the will to win again.
