Modern conflicts now last long
A report by the American magazine "Foreign Affairs" discusses how modern wars have transformed into prolonged attrition battles. These conflicts now aim to weaken the opposing side's military, economic, and political resilience, rather than pursuing traditional decisive battles. The report highlights that such conflicts are characterized by gaps between the actual military capabilities and what is publicly announced, and that winning victories through modern technology is often more challenging compared to traditional warfare principles. It also points out that warring parties, such as Russia, Ukraine, Iran, and Israel, adopt strategies based on resource depletion and prolonging the conflict, even as Washington aims for short, decisive operations. The report emphasizes that the escalation of wars is largely due to the lack of clear political agreements, with objectives remaining non-negotiable, which makes conflict resolution more difficult and increases their overall costs.
