Few realize that a non-nuclear peer conflict would be over in days, not years.

Few realize conflicts today are largely won financially….no “ money”-, no weapons, no payroll to pay soldiers, etc…
The West attacking Russian assets was the very first step.
Along you line of thought, I think cyber war would be more devastating that a strict financial war. Busting an economy can take years. Shutting one down can take minutes.
As a matter of fact they can become inseparable. Shut down most cyber systems and you shut down most financial operations. People now have never had to walk to the bank and write a withdrawal slip.
