War is extending from territories to the economy.

[SquallLeonhart]

It's obvious, economic war is the most effective war. Every country have armies but not every country have strong economy and when the economy is crippled, things will get rough.

Can you imagine if a country don't have access to semiconductors and AI for this modern war, they'd have zero chance fighting against countries that can deploy millions of drones into the war.

Even a disturbance in Hormuz could cause economically weak country to suffer greatly.

Both were still related though. Some wanted a territory in order to expand their business and to enrich their economies more. That is the main reason on why a war can start. This is no doubt because almost everything is connected in the economy. Armies for example, a poor economy country may only have a few army. Armies are nothing though without weapons, but this is another problem that a poor economy country can have.

No doubt that even though they can still have a traditional weapon, modern techniques can have an advantage. One I can see is it can easily scout the enemy base using these drones. AI is now there and maybe it can be implemented in the drone to make them more smarter. If one is cornered, they can't do much anymore even if they have the strongest traditional weapon in the game.

When people depend on something, the attack of war will also happen there. Nowadays, people are dependent on information and energy, so if someone wants to win a war, they have to control both of these. In the Iran war, Iran was not trying to control energy, they were putting the world economy in an unstable situation by influencing energy. Due to which the United States had to decide to cease war under the pressure of the world economy. Even the submarine cable in the Strait of Hormuz was under threat.

People are not yet completely dependent on artificial intelligence, so it is not possible to use artificial intelligence as a tool to make a big impact. Gold may be one of the main reasons for the war in the future.

This has been the case for a long time, you think that Iraq war happened because of territories? I mean what would USA gain from going there? They did not find any bombs neither, which was always a lie to begin with, it is not really a shocking thing to learn that they did it so they could get richer, and spend some of that military money that they keep investing, because if you are building new war machines, what's the purpose if it is not for war, they have to keep fighting time to time to justify this.

So basically, it is always been about economy for the past 20-30 years, never been about territory. Not for wars like Palestine and Israel, or Ukraine vs Russia, those are still territory.

[Mando100]

Definitely war are extending from territories to economy especially when the traders risk their lives to produce and transport goods in and through some territories that war are taking place, and when such act is executed successfully, they tend to increase the prices of these commodities in order to compensate the rigors they passed through thereby causing inflation in different territories.

But we hope things shall get better in future time.

[Royal Cap]

I think it is very simple, because earlier when there was an era of kings, the state with more physical strength and soldiers was considered the most powerful. Then when guns, tanks and modern weapons came, the country with more military power dominated the world. We have seen this power balance for many years.

But the current era is gradually becoming the era of cyber and technology. Now the stronger a country's cyber team, AI technology and data control, the more powerful that country is. As we have seen many major cyber attacks have targeted the country's banks, power grid or government system. I think the definition of power will change further in the future and perhaps digital control will become more important than traditional military.

The economy of the nation will not grow unless they associate with other countries so that they can sell out what they have and get what they need from there too, definitely war is extending but do you know why others are all concerned it's because it's affect their economy and this happened in the first day of the war, if you can check globally the strongest currency that is being used is united state dollar and if anything happen to that currency it's affect everyone, that is why the economy is not balance anymore.

I believe that if every nation decide to sell their own products with the currency of their choice I'm very confident that the world will be a comfort zone because it will not be decided by only few people, assuming Iran are selling their crude oil with their own currency or the Gulf States are so selling with their own currency, I don't think it will affect all over the world in terms of price of the crude, but since it is using one currency that is why it is affecting everybody.

I'm not very familiar with the conflict between Palestine and Israel. But the war between Ukraine and Russia is not simply a territorial dispute, it also revolves around economic issues and the struggle for geopolitical power.

Russia, Iran, and Venezuela are all close allies of China. They dragged Russia into war first, then Iran and Venezuela, and a trade war with China. At the same time, the EU is becoming increasingly weaker and more dependent on the US.

Clearly, everything seems to have been planned and arranged in a certain sequence, rather than happening randomly.

[tabas]

It is increasingly prominent in conflicting situations that military conflict is now entering economic infrastructural warfare.

When we talk of geopolitical conflicts now, we're talking of; semi conductors, trade routes, data and energy.

The next world powers may not be those with the most formidable army, they are those who control; A.I, chips and energy infrastructure.

And that's happening already, we're seeing actually with two superpowers and that's with the US and China. But as for specific with the chips, that's with China. So these three are in that situation and the recent talks of US and China is related to these matters that they have the control. Data is the new oil and with data, it's related to the chips. Although whoever is still controlling oil has got the big say in world's economy.

[michellee]

That could be right. If you can posses the resources and grow it based on the world wants, they will be the leader because they can fills it without a problem. If they have development AI and all those things, they can supply the world needs and all countries will rely on them.

The big countries will do this and they will conquer the weak countries and get their resources for their benefits. We see US, China plus Russia competing to be the next big and lead others countries that have relationship to many countries.

You are actually right about the competition between major countries like the United States, China, and Russia. Each of them want to expand their influence through trade, technology, military strength, and also control of resources, and strong nations like this normally build relationships with weaker countries because of  what they intend to benefit form them like minerals resource, oil, or political support and to me smaller countries should also be careful with how they trade and not to be dependent on one particular powerful country.

[Doll2233]

Your opinion is right , the world is changing now the strength of any Nation does not only depend on its army rather than that it depends on its technological advancement including artificial intelligent , power grids and computer chips . Without fighting physically a country can easily defeat their enemies by simply blocking their trading routes, by controlling their data’s or cutting of their power grids, Technology has become a new weapon in the new time. Incoming time the global superpowers will be those who are more advanced in technology rather than having more army.

Some kind of plan arranged in a certain sequence definitely existed at the beginning, but as someone who has lived in Ukraine through all 4 war years I can say with confidence that there has been no plan for a long time now. The original plan fell apart within the very first days, and after that it was all just reactions to what was happening. Yes, there is tactics, but even that doesn't always work. And strategy has long been forgotten, because it is simply impossible to implement. And in the case of Russia's war against Ukraine, it is far from being only about territories. There is a cultural dimension, a historical one. Territories simply allow those dimensions to be defined.

The next world powers may not be those with the most formidable army, they are those who control; A.I, chips and energy infrastructure.

This has already begun, with the need for large forces to change the course of war diminishing and the use of drones on a large scale increasing. Drones, built with the help of artificial intelligence or modern technology, are capable of pinpointing their targets and wreaking havoc.

The increase in the use of drones without the need for frontal warfare could be even more terrifying for humanity because when destructive machines selectively kill living people, it will be a moral defeat for humanity.

It is a kind of cowardice that you are using technology and killing innocent people and destroying humanity because you are afraid of losing a frontal battle.

That's right, because AI is something that today integrates into any field, accelerating earnings in them. But it's like an energy drink for a person - it will become faster and more energetic, but then what? So AI makes business faster, but at the same time dependent on AI technology. And this is controlled by China and the United States in the world, the rest of the countries are still lagging behind, although Russia had the potential for this, but successfully blew it. And the funny thing is that it would seem that countries need to create sovereign neural networks, but the fact is that through the Internet, powerful AI can easily break weak ais and subjugate them. In general, we are now seeing a true arms race.

This is what China is doing, not interested in weapons wars. But focused on developing itself economic questionsally day by day. This is it's strength that even Trump has acknowledge it. Chinese product have  get access even at every corner of the world. If in case of any banned or any restrictions the situation could be difficult for the others to survive without it. And that's the the way through which it conquer the world without fighting the war. Now this is an era where boundaries not important but resources are the power. Iran position is not strong enough against US or Israel but what prominent him, it is Strait of Hormuz a strategy of resource that force both countries for a type of surrender or negotiation.

This technological advancement is what most nations controlled by greedy politicians fails to understand in there ways. Gone are those days we put violence in front of what  ever we are doing as violence can never bring solution to all problem. 
The easiest approach to all is to improve technologically and key into the movement just as it is supposed to be which i see as the best thing to do now that everything is changing from the way it used to be.
Just as mentioned above, technology is the cutting strength of all and any nation working towards that direction can easily achieve there goals before the once that neglect the term technology.

Many countries gain from wars and that is why they don't hesitate to initiate war at any time. Donald trump is a strategist who calculate his plans before execution. He his a man of his word and fears no body. Every leader must have such abilities like be straight forward, ambitious, resilient and bold any where, this gives him the boldness to face body as a leader who knows his own capability as a world power and leader.

The superiority of a countries power is based on the economy and advanced technology and that is what most of this wars is about because everyone wants to show how powerful they can be even in term of intimidation and that ia what is happening now abeg and the grids are even less because military strength is another thing that have noticed and the government just have misplaced priorities and that is why we are all suffering from all this things because because of the Iranian war have caused other counties just because of the closure of Strait of Hormuz have caused to much damages already so the best is just for this issue to be resolved, even if it will take time for normalcy to be restored.

Currency is the liquid form of trust. There is not one thing more that cannot be legislated than trust.

Such as take Nigeria right now. If Nigeria declared that crude will only be sold in naira, who will buy? Not because Nigerian oil is bad. Having naira in hand means you have to face what the CBN has in mind next week. And they have a mixed record of monetary stability.

The nations most in need of having a sovereign currency are typically the ones with the most institutional weaknesses that can make it difficult to operationalize sovereignty. It is self-closing.

The thing you're pointing at deeper is about power. Who determines the global meaning of "value"? Well, that's the power that's in Washington right now, and it's been there since 1944. They constructed plumbing for everyone else to plug in. The SWIFT system. Treasury markets. Half the developing world is caught in dollar-denominated debt instruments.

The restructuring of debts would be more important than any currency reform to me. Well, that's where the control is really. Not in the currency you bill crude for, but in the currency you are liable for paying debts in. And for the majority of the Global South, the answer is still dollars. Always dollars.

[abhiseshakana]

I think the idea of economic warfare become popular after British successfully blockade of Germany during WW-I, The economic blockade against Germany proved to be a major factor in its resilience and from this observation, i think US especially its economy and politic global elite (banker, industrialist and policy makers) realized that destroying enemy's economy sometimes more effective than seized their teritories, from this understanding emerging idea for shaping the architecture of the post war world and they implemented their idea through bretton wood conference.  Globalization plus bretton woods system  on the hand of US the winner of WW-II make economic warfare more dominant. It become more and more terrifying since petrodollar exist, Arabian embargoand post cold war when US become single hegemon, financial sanction, swift, USD controll, IMF world bank use economic warfare as global pressure tools. So from the early beginning, Bretton Woods was hardly influenced by the strategic interests of the post WW II US economic and political elite to build a stable global financial order which benefited US's position as the center of the world system. But the main reason it become first choice because cheaper and more effective. But i see after millenium there are many new multidimensional type of war emerged such as economic warfare, currency warfare, psychology & social media warfare, ideological warfare, technology warfare, etc. We can take conclusion that our todays global structure which build under the name of global stability matter of fact centered on the interests of a force power who create it.
