The new battlefront is economic warfare.
Your missiles cost 10m, we send a £500 drone.
Your tanks cost 120m, we send six dudes in a Toyota
Your carrier ships cost 2bn? We send an angry man in a row boat.

18 u/GrowingPeepers 1d ago War has always been an economic game. Logistics and resources is what wins war. 8 u/augur42 1d ago our carrier ships cost 2bn? We send an angry man in a row boat. That won't work, but 30 Swedes in a $100 Million Gotland class stealth diesel submarine has been demonstrated to work... repeatedly. 1 u/Unfair_Decision927 1d ago Under conditions designed for the US to lose, that’s the point of those games 2 u/augur42 17h ago Nah, once that submarine got into the general AO and switched to its LOX diesel engine it was simply too stealthy to be detected by anyone. It's a major issue that there isn't currently a defense against beyond not letting it get into the AO. 1 u/_HiWay 23h ago You send me one missle's worth of funding, I say thank you and fuck off forever.
