Modern Warfare: Tempo is King

The world is in shock—pure execution, precise timing, absolute dominance.

If you do not collapse the opponent’s decision-making and legitimacy before systemic responses activate, victory probability drops asymmetrically.

In modern warfare, the first 2–3 days determine whether you achieve:

• Strategic surprise

• Air and information dominance

• Command-and-control disruption

• Psychological shock

• Political fait accompli

If those are not achieved early, the war transitions from:

decisive maneuver war → attritional, political, economic war

That transition is where invaders usually lose.
