Modern warfare tactics, particularly involving technology, pose a new and significant threat, raising the question of vulnerability in Western nations. Recent attacks highlight a shift towards interruption of supply chains and the use of everyday technology as weapons. There is a dangerous complacency in American society, characterized by a belief that such conflicts won't occur domestically due to a lack of recent historical memory of war on U.S. soil. This mindset trivializes the severe implications of foreign conflicts and misjudges alliances; no country should be assumed to be an everlasting ally, as geopolitical dynamics can change. The emerging capabilities of adversaries to orchestrate tech-related attacks necessitate a reevaluation of security strategies, urging a serious consideration of whether similar tactics could be deployed against American citizens. The failure of Western media to address these vulnerabilities further deepens the concern for public safety amidst increasing radicalization and glorification of violence.
