From Multi-Domain Operations to the Army’s Unified Network, Western military doctrine is building the infrastructure to manage its decline through global, persistent attrition.
A thought provoking, utterly plausible explanation of the U.S.’ shift from episodic warfare, to a mosaic of dispersed wars, linked for the sole purpose of exhausting adversaries into submission to America’s perpetual hegemony. In fact, not just adversaries, but friends as well.
Absolutely, and what I might also add, even though I ended this essay on the topic of Mosaic Warfare, the doctrine of MDO essentially states that every domain, everything and everyone can be targeted. Every "operation" starts out without weapons per se. This doctrine rests on the perception that "adversaries" are using a whole-of-nation warfare approach which includes civilians.
The explanation might be plausible, but the objective, “exhausting adversaries” is laughable - not going to happen. Now, exhausting allies just might! || Update: the most recent RAND report would appear to acknowledge this, for PRC at least - "Stabilizing the US-China Rivalry", October 2025 (https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA4107-1.html)
Upon further reflection, your essay brought to mind a simple truism: just as the only way to kill a snake is to cut off its head, so, too, is the only way to disassemble a mosaic of this nature is to attack the USA in the USA, using all weapons at your disposal: hit and run guerrilla tactics that, once the bluster has given way to the reality of endless fear and anger, the people will turn against their own government out of weariness and desperation. This is one of the strategies currently adopted by Ukraine against Russia, albeit not (yet) with much success.
Second, to put the fear of god into the people who run and act as talking heads for the mainstream media by endangering their personal safety. Or threatening to do so. The goal being to change the narrative that America is omnipotent; stands invincible on the right side of history, armed by righteousness.
And finally for America’s so called adversaries to simultaneously deploy their best weaponry in a hybrid assault on the U.S. mainland.
I’ve reluctantly reached this distasteful conclusion in the belief that the only way to dismantle the remaining pieces of the mosaic is to cut off the head of the snake. To weaken the chain by severing its strongest link. Otherwise Russia, China, North Korea and Iran are doomed
Exactly what are you suggesting we do? Your vague, coy allusions to what can only be interpreted as violence have no effect but to put you under suspicion of having provocation as your only goal. And that surely cannot be true of you, a reader here, can it? So please make concrete suggestions.
This is really good. You've woven so many strands into a really coherent picture. How a supremacist worldview, faced with the reality that oh, the beliver is not actually superior, has created a perpetual war machine, supposedly to sustain its cult. The " time" window they claim they are facing is in fact an excuse. The same old colonial impulse of depicting the other as a threat that must be ravaged now, now, now!
Becuse living in peace and equality is not an option in this worldview. Because admitting that we have had more than our fair share for 500 years, based on theft driven by a now closing window of military superiority, would be too much to do.
However, everyone seems to be missing the fact that the planet is not capable of sustaining the emissions, the pollution, the destruction of nature's regenerative capacities, the creation of unlivable climate effects. Without nature stable, we have nowhere to live, and everyone's economiic value creation capabilites are crushed.
So this is really a mass suicide cult.
No wonder all of it is being accompanied by a massive psychological warfare campaign by the so callled western empire...against its own people. The mass psychosis is palpable. More and more I meet well educated people who say things that really dont pass basic logical filters. They are losing touch with reality entirely.
This whole thing is not resilient or sustainable. It will collapse like a pack of cards. But as you said, it could take everyone with it.
Thank you so much for this interesting reflection. You’ve captured the essence exactly that what we’re witnessing is the persistence of a supremacist cosmology trying to maintain itself against time, against entropy, and even against the planet’s own thresholds.
I completely agree that ecological collapse is the unspoken contradiction at the core of this system (as President of Colombia, Petro pointed out in his speech): the ruling strata’s attempt to sustain expansion through militarization collides directly with planetary limits. It is indeed a kind of civilizational suicide pact, and the psychological warfare you describe serves to keep populations numbed or distracted enough to accept it as inevitable.
It kind of fits with the themes of Part III, especially when discussing NATO’s “Foresight” language, which reveals just how deeply these contradictions are rationalized within policy circles. It's almost unbelievably apocalyptic what they (these transatlantic functional elites) write, and I guess, think with conviction.
Coincido Kojo, no acabarán necesariamente con todo el mundo, pero si con media humanidad, es lo que veo venir y no está muy lejos.
I agree, Kojo. They won't necessarily wipe out the entire world, but they will wipe out half of humanity. That's what I see coming, and it's not far off.
A perceptive survey of dismaying details. A few comments:
Marketers play upon fears and desires, manipulating time via perceptions of urgency. It’s how they get you to do what they want. What they want is for you to get with the program, a.k.a. the narrative. Something in money is also nice.
Is this new? Watch a handful of Red Peril sci-fi flicks from the ‘50s to see how now rhymes with then. Same as ever: us against them, civilization against savages. Even the Terminator-esque fantasies of mosaic warfare are recycled. Remember full-spectrum dominance? Total information awareness? Now: trans-regional and global warfare; then: world Communist conspiracy and dominoes. The technology changes, but the narrative structures are evergreen.
What motivates this? Some look to ideology, others to material benefit. Why not both? Waves and particles, as in the double-slit experiment, a complex field of factors and dynamics. Underlying everything, basic motives gifted by millennia of local adaptation. Among them: dominance. The dream of omnipotence.
Consider Herman Kahn, theorist of nuclear war circa 1960. As a good hard-nosed realist he quantified the unthinkable to come up with criteria for acceptable losses (20 million? 30?) and winnability. Without explicitly advocating nuclear war, Khan’s theorization incentivized winnability planning, which led to career paths, which meant bureaucratic organization, which demanded funding, which called for industrial capabilities, which motivated lobbying, which required PR. Hello, end of world.
We’ve been here before. This time it’s different. Particles and waves. And obliquely beside the latest master-of-the-universe iterations, the inevitable shadow of unintended consequences. No trust. Relentless conflict. Automation gaming advantage. Force and fraud as norms. What could go wrong?
Tremendous dive into the labyrinth of Western military doctrine and the forces (panic) that shape the ongoing transitions including the coming financialization of NATO’s war preparations. Required reading for mobilizing resistance to these troubling developments. Thank you for providing and sharing your research!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment and for re-stacking the piece. I completely agree: understanding what is actually being strategized is a necessity if we’re to find any meaningful way to resist or at least expose the logic driving these doctrines, these plans, and understand a bit more of what's going on.
I cannot thank you enough for this piece, and for sharing your work on this platform.
What you're offering here is the closest I've come in contact with, to a general theory of the Western strategic path in the face of the historic recomposition of power that we've been experiencing.
I would mention a concept that I believe was missing in the list of operative and tactical concepts you analyse from US and NATO doctrinal thought. Probably because this concept has not yet been formally included in institutional doctrine, as it is for now more of a concept of strategic anticipation.
I am thinking about General John Allen's concept of Hyperwar. Technological change is already producing "mosaïc warfare" in "multidomain operations". But Allen takes us a step further by looking at the kind of technological capability that "networked" warfare will ultimately produce.
Hyperwar is a type of conflict in which tactical and operational events, in any domain from kinetic war to cyber war, and to lawfare and economic warfare, will be automated, controlled by AI relying on a constant flow of real-time data from an infinity of sensors and sources. Automation allows for immediate analysis of data, producing instantaneous decision at any level of operations, instantly impacting the behaviour of autonomous combat systems of all kinds: drones, robots, computers...
The overall result is the advent of kinetic, cyber or other types of combat operations that take place so quickly and with such intensity, that no human decision is relevant in the midst of the combat event. Human imput can only occur in between combat events, to provide "intentional command" that orient the next phase of combat.
There are still doubts regarding the feasability of Hyperwar, related to access to resources and the endurance of supply chains. But the necessary technological bricks already exist, and as your text demonstrates, the intent to pursue the means and goals that must ultimately produce Hyperwar already exists.
.
Thank you again for sharing with us. Looking forward to the 3rd part.
Thank you so much for this exceptionally insightful comment, Pierre.
I'm truly honored to receive such thoughtful and substantive engagement with my work. I really am.
I must admit I hadn't integrated the concept of Hyperwar explicitly, as I wasn't fully aware of its formal articulation. That said, I've encountered adjacent conceptualizations, particularly strategic analyses exploring AI's implications not only on the battlefield but across all domains of conflict. From NATO's Strategic Foresight Analysis 2023 to recent CSIS studies, we see sustained attention to AI's integration into command, control, and perception, and the importance of time therein, though, as you rightly note, without the consolidation into formal doctrine.
You're correct that Hyperwar represents the theoretical culmination of this trajectory, the logical endpoint of automating warfare to compress decision-making time itself. The concept captures precisely where these doctrines are tending, even if they remain at the level of anticipation rather than codification. I may well reference it in Part III, as it illuminates the direction with remarkable clarity.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and for reading so carefully. Exchanges like this are what make writing here, and sharing ideas, feel intellectually alive.
Excellent, informative analysis. Your research is invaluable. The fact that it examines authentic US military sources of strategic thinking provides substance and material for much reflection. Looking forward to reading more.
Thank you so much for your kind words, that really means a lot. I’m doing my best to research these developments; it feels important to bring to light the strategies that operate behind the scenes yet remain openly published. They will inevitably affect all of us. I’ll keep researching and writing, and thoughtful comments like yours are a great motivation to continue.
Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words. I really appreciate it. And no need to “critically engage” at all; knowing that the essay resonated or offered something new is already wonderful feedback for me.
Fantastic surprise, that the best overview of current trends in the West's empire warfare doctrine come from a young sociologist. I find this part more balanced than the first, and greatly appreciate the referencing of important texts. Unfortunately democracy in the West will require people to understand that their elites are at war with them as much as with the rest of the world: in France where i live strategic ambiguity has always been the posture of Emmanuel Macron, towards its own people; he wrote a master's thesis on Niccolò Machiavelli. In past times technology did not allow such an intrusive and global warfare as is now becoming possible and desired by people much less empathetic and restrained than Machiavelli was. Thank you very much.
I do understand your criticism on the topic of racism. However, I’m not saying that all Europeans are racist, or that all European ruling elites are consciously racist, or even that racism is an exclusively European phenomenon. Rather, my point is that within current social and economic processes, a specific form of racism has underpinned capitalist development and has shaped the actions of functional elites.
There is, as you note, a broad literature on all kinds of phobias and -isms that involve hate and fear, which vary not only from country to country but also between different social groups. What I’m trying to convey in the piece is something more historically specific: the way racial hierarchies were codified, bureaucratized, and weaponized within modern imperial projects, and how that legacy persists in today’s strategic doctrine. I do not mean to pathologize European elites in the 15th century as “mentally ill,” but to analyse how a particular civilizational self-image hardened over the last 150–200 years and now reappears in the language of policy.
And yes, I agree: democracy in the West will require people to understand that their elites are at war with them as much as with the rest of the world, or, put differently, that they see their own populations as just as expendable as others.
Thank you again. I appreciate the nuances - which i may have missed in the articles. I agree about the lengthy structuration, rationalization, institutionalization, and "sublimination"/"soft powerization" of a very deep racism, with a phase transition roughly at industrialization hinging on the economic dynamics, as the marxists study thoroughly. I would actually say over 80% of EU and 95% of US elites are racist, simply because it is how we are educated, and also that they suffer from a psychosociological and/or sociopsychological illness.
I have had to work alot on myself to think about the rest of the world as equally rational (for lack of a better term), and it still takes me wilful thought. To be frank it is probably something that can never be totally overcome, the main solution is to soften and cope with it intelligently. This is the curse and gift of Enlightenment: reflexivity. And perhaps the first step toward dealing with our disorder is the hardest: accepting that we need treatment - cognitive therapy. Education is very close to therapy.
I've just watched Ali Borhani at Pascal's, where he unravels one potent concrete facet of US-western soft and hard power. This is the kind of educative work i believe we need to do, both within abusive and victim nations, and also through collective events.
Fascinating and extremely insightful series. Really looking forward to Part 3. I did wonder how planners anticipate the effects of climate change? Of what use are human doctrines against the laws of physics?
I’m really glad to hear that this piece helped clarify some of those preexisting suspicions, Leanne. The plans and strategies it outlines are quite bleak but making them visible is, I think, a necessary first step toward understanding how they function, and what's at stake, and what might happen.
This reads like wishful thinking and fantasy projections. The development of the last month alone (rare earth mineral controls by china) have effectively neutered the armament productions of the West.
Paranoid hate fests like this piece of AI slop, are so lengthy and complicated because they are a nothing burger. Wear out the reader with chapter after chapter of essentially hollow rhetoric. Where are the stats and graphs?
You are right. I didn't read the full article. And the whole concept covered flipped my outrage switch. And I would like to apologise to Nel for mistaking her writing as something she proscribes, rather than covering NATO propaganda. In my own defence I think she should have distanced herself more clearly as a reporter of other people's output.
But I should have just kept my fingers idle, really. The desperation of the defence establishment of the west is getting very noticeable.
I also found it impossible to read but I hadn’t clocked it’d been AI generated, nowhere was it made clear. Yes, it reads as something conjured up away from material realities. I don’t doubt this might be the style of thinking of the US elite. If it is they’re down for a rude awakening .
Recomiendo su lectura, es la segunda parte de una primera parte, titulada el caminante sobre la niebla o algo así, es el preludio de un libro que considero tendrá mucho éxito.

I recommend reading it. It is the second part of a first part, entitled The Walker in the Mist or something like that. It is the prelude to a book that I believe will be very successful. It lays bare how Western criminality works in the shadows and at the same time in broad daylight, but not all of us have the virtue to see it.

Great article as usual. Just share it. Keep up my the food work.
