Fog Of War
With the advent of satellites, mobile phones and social media, the fog of war has been lessened to a degree but not vanquished. There is still a lack of transparency at the front lines where opponents meet and battle it out. Hence, the use of experts. Russia, for example, is not going to back down in its efforts to subdue Ukraine, and it will shell the cities until they are rubble if that's what it takes. What no one knows is the heart of the Ukrainian fighter. Will he stay committed when shells and bombs are falling? So far, so good but it is early in this conflict. Modern communications are keeping the plight of Ukraine front and center to the world and to the condemnation of Putin. Still, there is much we don't know and won't know for days or weeks to come.
