Chaosisfreedom,
Your post is too long to quote but very good.
Modern warfare has reverted back to feudal warfare in many ways. Waged by mercenary proxies so it doesn't get out of hand with major players exchanging fire directly.
Syria is the face of modern warfare. State supported mercanaries battling with no laws of war in effect.
I have studied the Syrian conflict from the start and it is plain to see that if major players went head to head, it would be devastating to both sides.
No military on earth can safely say their forces, bases at home or critical infrastructure cannot be hit.
USA came out of WWII unscathed at home, that won't happen in the next WW.
Quoting: Strate8 Totally agree. Syria is a really good example of modern warfare. States involved have far too much to lose going into open conflict so proxy forces dominate the field. I can see similar situations going forward, potentially even in Taiwan. Modern states have become so large and powerful that it would take a pretty significant narrative to justify total war against one another. I don't think that is probable in the near future.
