War is not necessarily carrying guns and missiles ,these days wars are been fought with wisdom not with bombs and riffles, there something we call economic war ,Ban and sanction like we experience all nations against russia not necessarily done violently but with wisdom to affect it economy ,once money is not in circulation again it will lead to protest by his people against his government for dissatisfaction.
I would disagree with a part of that. Economic warefare is nothing new, the Hundred Years' War (1337 - 1453) was more of an economic war than an all out battle. Naturally, economic wars were a bit diferent back then, but it's still the same concept. What I do agree is that it's nothing like the wars of the oast century as it implements more cyber warefare.
