It does not take two parties to be in conflict; Russia is already waging war against the West.
Russia's playbook relies on targeted cyberattacks, sabotage (specifically of subsea cables and critical infrastructure), disinformation, and sowing division within our societies. That’s the new frontline.

The debate about military "readiness" is crucial, yet it overlooks an inconvenient truth: We are already at war.
In the 21st century, war does not require a formal declaration. It is hybrid and targets the systemic vulnerabilities of our societies. It does not take two parties to be in conflict.
