Which leads to a point I’ve been making about technology and the military.
Most of our military depends on satelittes, but if WWIII breaks out, the first thing that goes are the satellites....then what?
Groan. Encrypted communications. They were equipped with secure comms. They were trained and ready. The Op order for the attack only went out a few hours beforehand via encrypted comms. Being a holiday it’s easy to see how it was not detected beforehand. It was all small arms, rockets, private vehicles, paragliders, etc. all of which are easy to conceal. Not like tanks and aircraft ramping up for a big operation.
Your question is good. There are 3 or more.
1. Spend big money on more of everything, on satelites that constantly change orbit, on new techologies
2. Avoid non-military mistakes that lead to war:
Don’t negotiate with terrorists.
Don’t have stupid economic and energy policies that finance an aggressor.
3. Both of the above.
4. Prayer
5. ? ? ? ?
