Tactics – Episode 19: Post-Cold War

The Cold War ended, but warfare didn’t.

It just mutated—into insurgencies, proxy battles, cyber attacks, and political manipulation.
From the quick dominance of Desert Storm to the grinding insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq, the post-Cold War world revealed a brutal truth:
The enemy doesn’t always wear a uniform, and victory isn’t always won with firepower.
China and Russia learned these lessons too—trading tanks for influence, shock and awe for gray zone tactics.

The future belongs to those who adapt before the first shot is even fired.
