Not really… I think the world’s intelligence agencies play them out and are throwing a coup tbh. The end goal is not American, it’s a new world lifestyle being adopted by leading nations to create a culture that is completely surveilled and controlled. These nations, and the subcultures within them are a tool for the “enemy” …manipulated and played out.
Fifth-generation warfare
Definition: A form of warfare that uses social engineering, misinformation, cyberattacks, and other non-kinetic actions to manipulate populations and achieve political goals.
Tactics: Involves using propaganda, gaslighting, social media to create confusion, and psychological operations to undermine an opponent's morale and resolve.
Goal: To influence public perception and control the information space, with the battlefield being the collective consciousness of the masses, not just physical territory.
Key characteristic: It is often fought during peacetime and can involve both kinetic and non-kinetic force.
It is funny because it comes across as something new. Propaganda has been around a long time now and its modern counterpart public relations has been as well.
Perhaps the use of technology could be considered new, but the battle for the human pysche is nothing new.
You are attributing way too much intelligence and foresight to ultra right wing influencers and grifters here.

Fifth generation warfare, like hiring a bunch of bot farms in foreign world countries to prop up a corrupt government.
