Hybrid WW3

Hybrid WW3 1999~2014 ⇒ 2026+ | Hybrid warfare blends conventional military force with covert subterfuge, cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns, and economic coercion to destabilize an adversary. It uses, for example, proxies, sabotage, and political interference to exploit societal vulnerabilities and achieve objectives while maintaining plausible deniability. 

◊ INFORMATION: propaganda, fake news, and disinformation. ◊ CYBER: target critical infrastructure, government, and economy. ◊ ECONOMIC: trade, energy supplies, and financial systems to create dependencies, threaten, or punish opponents. ◊ POLITICAL; undermines democratic processes, fosters internal divisions, and supports fronts. ◊ PROXY AGENTS: agitators, criminal groups, militias, mercenaries, or special forces -- sabotage, smuggling, extortion, and political blackmail. ◊ MILITARISM: traditional threat plus irregular, asymmetric methods -- "accidents", plausible deniability, insurgencies or terrorism.
